Los Angeles trio clipping. are a collaboration between rapper Daveed Diggs and producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson. Their second album aims to deconstruct rap music while staying within the genre's confines.

Here’s a simple challenge for any listeners unsure if they can handle the music of Clipping.

The thing that makes ‘CLPPNG’ so appealing isn’t how it subverts norms; it’s how it embraces them.

L.A. trio clipping takes this fondness for harsh sounds to the next level with CLPPNG, a strange hybrid of noise frequencies, brutally dark beats, and MC Daveed Diggs' unhinged, often ugly lyrical flow.

If you're eagerly anticipating the return of punk-rap terrorists Death Grips; if Kanye's Black Skinhead wasn't feral and intense enough to give you the feels, then LA's clipping are for you

CLPPNG contains some extremely catchy hooks, and their experimentation with bounce on tracks like "Work Work," "Tonight" and "Inside Out" results in songs that are almost traditional rap.
