NEW ALBUM VICTORY OUT NOW!

Marking 26 years since his last album, Hip Hop icon and culture’s greatest storyteller Slick Rick returns with Victory, a groundbreaking visual album dropping June 13, 2025, via Idris Elba’s 7Wallace label and Mass Appeal. Executive produced by Slick Rick and Idris Elba, Victory fuses cinematic brilliance, rich storytelling, and cultural innovation. The project features powerful collaborations with Nas, Giggs & Estelle, anchored by a 25-minute captivating film directed by Meiji Alabi (Beyonce’s Black Is King,) bringing the album’s vision to life through bold visuals and layered narratives. Recorded over four years in South London and France, Victory is more than a visual album, it’s a cultural statement celebrating Slick Rick’s legacy and artistic evolution. The film will make its debut at SXSW London and Tribeca Film Festival. Through a global rollout of compelling content, intimate events, and strategic PR and digital campaigns, Victory aims to honor the past while pushing Hip Hop into new territory. The legend has returned, with Idris Elba by his side and the path to Victory begins now.

In the more than 15 years since the last Clipse album hit the shelves of record stores, the music world has been upended several times over. “You see great rappers all the time,” Pusha-T says, before contrasting he and his older brother Malice with those who are not truly of the culture. “But there's something a little off about it.” Let God Sort ‘Em Out has no such problems. Over 13 taut, kinetic beats from longtime collaborator Pharrell, Pusha and Malice exorcise demons and catalog areas of personal growth—without ever sacrificing the menace and minimalism that made them legends of the genre. It is a master class in maturing without abandoning one’s core identity, but rather deepening it, making it more three-dimensional. “The fact that it has remained viable for so long has allowed me to say, ‘Hey, this must be meant to be,’” Malice says. Let God Sort ‘Em Out is an instantly unforgettable contribution to the duo’s catalog, and to hip-hop writ large, filled with the type of razor-toothed exercises that made Clipse icons in the first place. Take the taunting “Inglorious Bastards” or “Marie Kondo,” which scoffs at “60-day stars and 20-year thousandaires.” The beats, which Pusha describes as “polarizing,” are urgent, technicolor, and hold plenty of space for the vocal to become the track’s most important instrument. The need to be authentic is paramount, but it’s also natural to these two. Perhaps Malice puts it most clearly: “Nothing else works for us.”

Joe Nardi - Chicago Wedding DJ and Uplighting Specialist.
Who is Joe Nardi? Chances are you've heard him at a Wedding you've attended, a Chicago nightclub you have visited, or on the airwaves of Chicago's B96 throughout the 90's and early 2000's. You may have even heard him on the air during the B96 Eddie and Jobo morning show where Joe would often be sent out on the streets performing crazy stunts.

Joe "NAW-T-BOY" Nardi is known for his unique style of mixing and has been igniting dance floors since 1988. As many DJ's come and go, Joe "NAW-T-BOY" Nardi has proven the ability to change with the times, as he continues to be an innovator of the Chicago Dance Music Scene.

Joe's big break came back in 1993 when he was a finalist of the B96 Chicago Mixer Search in which he was 1 of 6 finalists out of more than 5000 applicants. This secured Joe a spot on the Chicago B96 Weekend Street Mix where he resided for over 10 years.

In 2000 Joe brought his Mix show to a National Level with his syndicated Mix Show. This Mix show had over 5 million subscribers and could be heard on Comcast Cable, DirectTV, and 5 Major Airlines.

While most of his weekends these days consist of DJing some of the most elite weddings in the Chicago area, you can also find Joe at many area Clubs and Lounges. Currently these include Draft Car Chicago, Gibsons Steak House in Oak Brook, the V-Lounge in Addison, and Cafe Baciami in Elmwood Park, along with many other guest spots throughout the year.

Joe Nardi is best known for his blend of Old School and New School Mixes. While many of today's DJ's will just play the current TOP 40 hits, Joe Nardi will take you on a journey through the many Genre's from Today and Yesterday. This keeps the dance floor fresh and the energy level at an all time high throughout the night and never get's boring.
