Clipse Mix '25

I took Clipse’s hard-hitting “Whips & Chains” vocals and flipped them over Dr. Dre’s classic production “The Setup” to give it that unmistakable West Coast feel — raw, cinematic, and full of bounce. The result is a gritty mashup that blends Virginia coke rap with Cali drum science, creating a cross-coastal sound that knocks with attitude and soul. I’ve always loved reimagining classics, and this one felt like the perfect combo to breathe new energy into both tracks. You can grab this exclusive edit as part of Blends, Mashups & Refixes Vol 11, now available on Bandcamp and my website. Whether you’re behind the decks or bumping it in your ride, this one’s built to move heads.

#100!

Will an era of rap that's finally making room for its male elders make equitable space for women and MaGes too? 

 For this conversation we use the Clipse epic rollout as grown ass rappers (Pusha T, 48 & Malice, 53) launching their highly rated album and successful tour - to explore the experiences and P.O.V of Black women in and around the industry. I promise you it's not a reach. 

 Culture writer Starr Rocque & PR Strategist Uchechi Chinyere join me to discuss all things Clipse, hip-hop, Black women & femmes. 

 You don’t have to know shxt about the Clipse or their latest album Let God Sort Em’ Out to enjoy this conversation, but also please email and let me know how you managed to avoid knowing shxt about the Clipse during this very Clipse 2025. 

 I think it's important to note that Tyler the Creator who shows up in one of the best features of the album is queer. We mention his feature, but not his queerness, which IS relevant in THIS conversation.
