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 Malicewith 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.”
