August 2 street date. clipping. celebrates the 10th anniversary of their 2014 Sub Pop debut, "CLPPNG", with a new coloured vinyl edition, limited to 1000 copies. Before clipping.'s debut album "Midcity", the trio of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson did not expect to find an audience for their abrasive brand of rap music. But, since their formation, the field of commercial music enlarged ever so slightly, making room again for noisier, more adventurous elements in electronic production (though clipping. insist they simply make rap music). "CLPPNG" is a much more ambitious project than "Midcity". The album features guest verses from some of the band's strongest influences, including Gangsta Boo (formerly of Three 6 Mafia, and currently of Da Mafia 6ix), Guce (longtime Bay Area mainstay, member of Bullys Wit Fullys), King T (all-around West Coast gangster rap legend, founder of the Likwit Crew, and mentor to Xzibit and Tha Alkaholiks). "CLPPNG" stretches the band's experimental sounds to fit a wider emotional range. "Midcity" had anger and aggression figured out, but "CLPPNG" fits the group's harsh electronics to club tracks, a slow jams, songs to strip to, and more.
