Chains & Whips: Clipse & Kendrick Bring Fire and Reckoning

From the very first bar, “Chains & Whips” doesn’t pretend to be friendly. The hook flips pain into fashion, legacy into luxury — “Beat the system wit’ chains and whips” isn’t about flexing, it’s about fighting.
After more than a decade in the shadows, Pusha T and Malice return as Clipse with a thunderous statement. Their new single, “Chains & Whips” featuring Kendrick Lamar, is pulled straight from the upcoming Let God Sort Em Out album — and it doesn’t just announce their return. It kicks down the door.
From the first breath, the record feels like holy war in audio form. “Beat the system wit’ chains and whips” echoes like a warning shot through luxury rap. Malice, now sharper and spiritually bolder, delivers verses that slice through materialism with biblical clarity. Pusha T, always ice cold, brings venom wrapped in diamonds — flexing less for applause and more like a soldier haunted by the war.
The beat is stripped down and cinematic, letting the bars breathe — and bruise. But when Kendrick Lamar steps in, the chaos intensifies. He bends scripture into satire, prophecy into punches. Kendrick’s verse spirals through identity, ego, and God, using metaphors like “Jenga” and “Genesis” to blur the lines between hip hop and higher callings.
This isn’t a “comeback single.” This is spiritual warfare dressed in designer — legacy rap with no skip button. It’s Clipse choosing to speak truth in a time of trends, pairing grim honesty with haunting production. They’re not chasing streams. They’re making statements.
“Chains & Whips” is a heavy listen — no hooks, no club appeal, just three of the sharpest minds in rap choosing depth over comfort. For fans of real lyricism, cultural criticism, and soul in the pen — this one is required listening.
Let God Sort Em Out is available now. This is more than a release — it’s a resurrection.
