The Hip-Hop streets are still waiting on the Clipse reunion album, Let God Sort Em Out, and we may be closer. Hitting Instagram, Malice took a picture in front of a monitor reading “Def Jam Welcomes Clipse.”
According to HipHopDX, the duo have inked a deal with the label.
Earlier this year, King Push revealed to Complex he has been working on music in Paris.
Journalist Jordan Rose asked Push about the status of his Gangsta Grillz project and more. King Push gave insight into his creative process.
“I will say, there’s been a lot of work happening in Paris here lately, and it ain’t just fashion,” Push said. “People have been seeing the Clipse and seeing myself walking fashion shows and I’ve been in Paris a lot here lately. But it ain’t been all fashion. I will say that much.
“And shout out to DJ Drama. When it comes to the DJ Drama brand and Gangsta Grillz and how he feeds the streets, and what I do lyrically, bringing that together, we can hit any bar set.”
He later gave a timeline regarding solo Push or a return of Clipse: “I would 100% bet that you’re going to get new music from one of those entities that you just named. It’s going to be a win-win situation.”

Louis Vuitton has named rapper Pusha T its latest house ambassador, showcasing Pharrell Williams’ knack for merging fashion and pop culture. Pusha T, renowned for his work with Clipse, has long been linked to Williams, who produced several tracks on his latest album, It’s Almost Dry. The relationship dates back to the Clipse’s debut album, Lord Willin’.
Pharrell Williams, the creative director of menswear at Vuitton since last year, continues to bring high-profile figures to the French fashion house. Pusha T, born Terrence LeVarr Thornton, and his brother No Malice were featured in Williams’ first show on the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris last June. This appointment highlights the deep-rooted relationship between the two Virginia Beach natives, cementing Pusha T’s influence in the fashion world.

Meek Mill isn’t feeling DJ Drama right now. Hitting Twitter on Monday, Meek accused the Gangsta Grillz creator of “speaking down” on him and recalling a time when Meek “tore him up in the a.”
Meek wrote: “Dj drama a goofy over these hoes lol he won’t speak good on me I tore him up in the a”
There were other members when Drama allegedly spoke against Meek, but the Expensive Pain rapper noted Dramam comparing his “Dreams & Nightmares” with Lil Uzi Vert’s “I Wanna Rock.” He wrote, “Don’t let these industry lames use you they don’t really even like you.
Meek shared a text exchange with Drama where the two went back and forth and a seemingly agitated Drama writing, “to be honest i dont even speak on ALL THE REAL SUCKA SHIT u be DOIN!”
Later in the tweets, Meek highlighted Drama’s response when comparing him and Drake, noting that DJ Drama was one of the driving forces behind the two beefing. “drama tryna divide and conquer a feat lol drama basically started/powered that meek and drake beef.”
Dj drama a goofy over these hoes lol he won’t speak good on me I tore him up in the a
I asked drama why he always speaking down on me with a few other words too told him he’s a goofy… I also hit him when he tried to compare dreams and nightmares to I wanna rock AND DOWNPLAY ME … DONT LET THESE INDUSTRY LAMES USE YOU THEY DONT REALLY EVEN LIKE YOU SMH LOL pic.twitter.com/L1Im13YZsl

DJ Drama has finally debunked reports regarding the rumored rivalry between himself, DJ Khaled and Funk Flex. This week, Drama stopped by Sway in the Morning ahead of the release of his long-awaited project, I’m Really Like That — an album he revealed is all about confidence and being genuine.
Sway asked the Grammy award winning DJ to touch on his alleged feud with two of Hip Hop’s most successful DJs, DJ Khaled and Funk Flex.
“Shoutout to Khaled. Shoutout to Flex,” Drama told Sway. “One thing about all of us is, when we put these projects together and we come with these collaborative projects — like this shit ain’t easy for nobody. It’s not a walk in the park.
“It’s a lot of work. It’s a lot of dedication. It is not an easy thing to do. So, for people listening who questions any of us. It takes a lot. It’s an amazing skill to be in this position. To be able to put albums out— and consistently.”
He added: “The three of us that you mentioned we have multiple albums under our belts. Not even like this its one. This is my sixth album outside of the 250 mixtapes that I have done.”
“This is Hip Hop though,” Sway quickly interjected, leading into his next question. “This is a competitive sport. Now talk about the rivalry. Is there a rivalry between you and Khaled? You and Flex?”
“Nah, there’s no rivalry,” said DJ Drama squashing the hearsay for good. “I mean, first off Flex is someone I grew up inspired by — looking up to — somewhat of the blueprint in so many aspects. He was on radio. He was on television. You couldn’t open up a magazine without seeing an endorsement without him. He was putting out albums.
“Now, that Flex is a peer and a friend of mine, that’s one of those things that if I were to tell the young 13, 14-year-old kid who was aspiring to be a DJ that one day I’d be standing side-by-side with Flex — I wouldn’t believe it.”
Meanwhile, the Generation Now executive admitted when it comes to Khaled, he credits the pair for dominating a generation of their own — much like DJ Clue and Flex did in their time.
“I think that if there were a generation that was dominated by Clue and Flex, then me and Khaled came along and it was like we were the two big figures in Hip Hop when it came to DJs,” Drama said.
“I think there’s room for everybody to prosper — to do their thing. Absolutely, Hip Hop is a competitive but it’s like going to the league. we’re going to get on that court and in that moment I’m ready to bust anybody ass. But, in all aspects, we’re all incredible at what we do.”
He added: “As DJs, I pay homage to everybody. But, I’m one of the greatest to ever do it and that’s what it is.”
When Sway asked him to clarify some of his lyrics, such as: “I don’t care how many times I gotta prove myself they not built like us,” Drama laughed it off. “It’s not directed at anyone in particular. I’m just talking my shit. If someone feels some type of way or if the shoe fits, you know — those are two brothers who show love specifically but it’s not for anybody at all. It’s just me being in my competitive bag.”
Gangsta Grillz creator DJ Drama is using his all-time favorite movie to promote his new album, I’m Really Like That, and nails his impersonation of the late Tupac Shakur, which could possibly land the legendary DJ/producer some roles on the silver screen himself!
Today, Drama unveiled his new Jim Jones-directed visual to the I’m Really Like That LP promo, recreating a very important plot twist in the movie Juice, where a couple from the quartet narrowly escaped becoming victims of a robbery gone bad.
Drama plays the memorable role of “Bishop” alongside the original cast; Omar Epps, Khalil Kain, and Jermaine Hopkins, who reprise all of their original, iconic roles. He even credits Epps’ portrayal of DJ Q for inspiring his real-life career as a legendary DJ!
Today, DJ Drama releases “HO4ME,” a new song featuring A Boogie Wit da Hoodie and Lil Baby. The song has smooth, sensuous bedroom vibes and conveys the mood of a lady on the street and a freak in bed.
The song will appear on Drama’s upcoming record, which is set to be released this spring, and is the follow-up to his infectious, recently-released collaboration with Jeezy, “I Ain’t Gonna Hold Ya.”
You can hear the single and watch the lyric video below.
