Til The Casket Drops (Reissue) (Vinyl LP, White)

Virginia duo Clipse, Gene and Terrence Thornton, aka No Malice and Pusha T, cemented their place in early 2000s hip-hop with a trio of landmark albums, all crafted under the production of The Neptunes. Across their classic trilogy, Lord Willin’, Hell Hath No Fury and Til the Casket Drops, Pusha T and No Malice perfected the art of streetwise storytelling, with the added bonus of guest turns from Pharrell, Kanye West, Cam’ron, and the Re-Up Gang. If there's a benchmark, this has got to be it. - Flying Out

Til The Casket Drops was a departure from the duo of Malice and Pusha T's previous works in that it was their first LP not completely produced by The Neptunes. However, the celebrated team who brought us Grinding & Mr. Me Too still helmed 8 of the album's 13 tracks, thus dominating the soundscapes and aesthetic of the album anyway. With the remaining beats handled by Hitmen Sean C and LV (Jay-Z, Big Pun, Ghostface) and Aftermath's DJ Khalil (Kendrick Lamar, Aloe Blacc, Eminem) clearly Clipse stock hadn't lowered in the game.

While boasting notable vocal features from Kanye West, Pharrell, Camron, Keri Hilson, Yo Gotti and their Re-Up Gang affiliate Ab-Liva, Casket Drops leaves ample space for the core emcee duo of Pusha and Malice to shine in the spotlight, with verses revolving around each other succinctly in-synch and bonded by an exceptional creative rhythm only biological brothers could share.
