What They Sound Like? According to the band themselves, Clipping “make party music for the club you wish you hadn’t gone to, the car you don’t remember getting in, and the streets you don’t feel safe on.” Industrial, minimalist, and rhythmically fractured, Clipping sound like the most game changing and genre bending hip hop you’ll hear all year. If Death Grips are a hip hop group for hardcore/metal fans, Clipping are a hip hop group for My Disco and Dawn Of Midi fans.
Why You Should Care? The band are about to release their anticipated follow up to 2013’s independent release Midcity. Out this Friday June 6th via Sub Pop/ Inertia the trio’s new record CLPPNG is a more mature, considered, and accessible output. Like Ratking and even Death Grips, these guys are broadening the sonic scope of where rap and hip hop can be taken.
