American hip hop duo. Formed in Virginia in 1992, the group is made up of brothers Gene "Malice" Thornton and Terrence "Pusha T" Thornton. The Clipse met record producer Pharrellof The Neptunesduring the early part of the 1990s, and Williams helped them secure a deal through Elektra Records. The group's debut single flopped, and Williams resuscitated their careers in the early 2000s, signing them to Arista Records through his Star Trak imprint. Star Trak/Arista released The Clipse's debut album, Lord Willin', on August 20, 2002; the album includes their top 10 R&B/Hip-Hop single "Grindin'".
