You know how some people really love pickle-and-peanut-butter sandwiches? I’ve eaten some weird shit, but I’ve yet to summon the courage to try that one. People always struggle to explain why it’s good — it just works. That’s how clipping. are with their combo of hip-hop and harsh noise. The former comes lightning fast, hyper-articulated, darkly funny, and the latter creatively finds ways to incorporate digital scree, tape loops, and industrial clangs into a hip-hop production. Throw in two female guest rappers, one an all-time great and the other a fierce up-and-comer and, the why doesn’t really matter. CLPPNG just works. –Miles [LISTEN]
