Against all odds Clipse are back together and playing new music in Orlando this week

They said it would never happen, but anything is possible in these end times. So it is that after 15 years, hip-hop firebrands Pusha T and Malice have reconvened as Clipse. There’s even, just as brain-meltingly, new music to promote — Let God Sort ’Em Out from July — with Pharrell back in the fold to produce.

The record is not only a return to form, but also an accurate reflection of the duo as artists in the cursed year 2025, a delicate balancing act to be sure. The features are befitting Clipse’s far-ranging influence: Nas, Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, the Creator.

Can they deliver the goods live, though? Listen here, check out their NPR Tiny Desk performance (while you still can) and join a million converts. Sure to be seismic.

7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13, Vanguard, 578 N. Orange Ave., thevanguard.live, $49.50-$235.50.
