Clipse rapper No Malice has thrown his hat into the ring of unpredictable musical team-ups, welcoming potential collaborations with the likes of Coldplay and The Killers.
Malice and Pusha T sat down with their manager Steven Victor in a recent interview with GOAT, in which the duo revealed whom they’d like to collaborate with in the future.
“As far as hip-hop goes, the highwater mark is always collaborating with JAY-Z, so I would like that,” Malice began. “Outside of hip-hop, I would like to see Clipse with artists like Coldplay and The Killers, with big arena records, festivals, something that moves globally.”

King Push, however, feels a little differently, after seemingly reaching his collaboration limit. “Man. I don’t know. I’m collab’d out,” he said. “I don’t even care about collaborations if it’s not among a great body of work. I’m into cohesive, great bodies of work. I feel like, in these times, with everybody feeling so fly-by-night, that’s the only thing that’s keeping this genre alive.”
Malice went on to explain how they pick collaborations. “It’s gotta be an organic fit,” he said. “It just has to make sense. I’m not looking just to collaborate for the sake of collaboration. It definitely has to match. It has to give significance to each other. When the listener hears it, they should be able to say to themselves, ‘I know why they’re working together.’”
Although Clipse haven’t released a project together since 2009’s Til The Casket Drops, they reunited in 2019 on “Use This Gospel” from Kanye West’s album Jesus Is King. In June of last year, the duo took the stage during Pharrell Williams’ headlining set at Something in the Water.
After once again joining forces on Pusha T’s “I Pray for You” from his latest solo effort, It’s Almost Dry, Clipse are slated to play Primavera Sound next year. Get your passes here.
