Clipse’s new album is already generating some serious buzz — and it’s only getting louder. A track featuring Kendrick Lamar leaked online Monday (June 23), and was quickly pulled. Both Clipse and the track’s producer, Pharrell, briefly shared a short clip via Instagram stories, and the leaked track resurfaced across social media platforms and on various websites.
Kendrick’s appearance on the track has been at the center of controversy and label politics. His verse allegedly led to a rift between the duo and their label, Def Jam. As implied by Push, the label was allegedly nervous about Kendrick Lamar and Pusha T together, given their shared history of beef with Drake. Def Jam reportedly wanted no parts of it.
