Malice of Clipse has defined his swap again to his unique stage title from No Malice.
The Virginia rapper, who reconnected along with his youthful brother Pusha T on this 12 months’s Clipse album, Let God Sort Em Out (the group’s first launch since 2009), detailed his pseudonym change within the duo’s latest interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Malice modified his title in 2012 throughout a religious breakthrough, three years after Clipse launched their third album Til The Casket Drops.
But with the most recent Clipse album, Malice went again to the place he began, which he defined to THR.
“Since inception, it was Malice, and the theme behind it was I was just attacking these verses maliciously. That’s what the whole name was about,” he instructed the publication.
Malice added that along with his “convictions” and “heart change,” he wished to reveal “that there was nothing malicious” about him “as far as bringing harm or ill will about anything” — therefore the title change to No Malice.
“But when my brother and I decided to come back together into the group, I felt like we owed it to ourselves and to the fans to stick with the initial branding,” he continued. “I never wanted to try to do Clipse with a little tweak or a little change.”
Malice concluded that “Clipse will always remain Clipse.”
“It’s who we are when we come together and it’s who the fans know it to be, and I wouldn’t want to have that any other way,” he stated.
In a 2011 interview with the Village Voice, per Billboardone 12 months earlier than his title change, Malice stated he’d gained a “good grasp on what’s important.”
“I was chasing all these material things, money, women . . . just looking for fulfillment. Ultimately though, my fulfillment came from my faith,” he stated.
