Let God Sort Em Out

Let me just say it straight — this album is special. It’s not just good because it’s a comeback, or because it’s Clipse. It’s good because it feels fully realized, sonically rich, and confident in every move it makes. This isn’t two legends dusting off the old formula for nostalgia. This is Clipse reminding everyone what the peak sounds like, and sounding like they never left.

The first thing that hits you is how massive the album sounds. Pharrell handled the production top to bottom, and this might be his best work in years. It’s bright, booming, luxurious — but still grounded in that grit that made Clipse legendary in the first place. Instead of going dark and eerie like you might expect, Pharrell flips it. The soundscape is bold and triumphant, full of high-end synths, gospel touches, heavy drums, and vocals that feel spiritual. It’s cinematic in the best way, and it matches the energy perfectly.

Lyrically, Pusha T and Malice are locked in. Pusha’s verses are as sharp as ever — ice-cold confidence, endless wordplay, and the kind of detail that rewards multiple listens. But Malice is the revelation here. He steps back into the fold like he never missed a beat. His delivery is heavy, deliberate, and laced with just enough reflection to cut deeper than you expect. There’s a clarity to his writing that balances Pusha’s slickness perfectly. They’re in completely different lanes emotionally, but they meet in the middle with purpose and precision.

What I really appreciate is how fun the album feels while still being technically airtight. It’s not trying to chase relevance. There’s no gimmick. It’s just two elite rappers operating at full power. There are moments of reflection, sure — little glimpses into loss, growth, aging — but the focus stays rooted in legacy, skill, and presence. This is them celebrating who they are, and letting the music do the talking.

The features all make sense too. Kendrick, Nas, Tyler, John Legend, Stove God — no weak links. Kendrick brings a layered, focused verse that avoids drama but still feels heavy. Tyler sounds hungry and sharp. John Legend’s chorus is stunning. And of course, Pharrell’s own voice adds an extra layer of character to the record. His hooks are everywhere, and they work.

Honestly, I don’t have many real complaints. Some mixes could use slight tightening, and maybe there are moments where I wanted one more Malice verse — but those are minor. What matters is that Clipse came back with something that doesn’t just meet expectations, it redefines them. This album isn’t living off the past. It’s moving forward with total confidence.

Let God Sort Em Out is one of the best albums of the year, hands down. It’s rare for a comeback to sound this focused and fully alive. I’m just glad it exists — and even more glad it lives up to everything I hoped for.

This one’s going to stay in rotation for a long time.
