Clipping celebrates the 10th anniversary of their 2014 Sub Pop debut, clppng, with a new colored-vinyl edition, limited to 1,000 copies.
"clipping. Makes party music for the club you wish you hadn't gone to, the car you don't remember getting in, and the streets you don't feel safe on" (Press release for clipping.'s debut, Midcity, September 2012). Since the above was written, things have changed for clipping. The band found that listeners were more ready for them than they'd first imagined. Before 2013's Midcity, the trio of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson did not expect to find an audience for their abrasive brand of rap music. The project was initially a remix project, an aside to the members' main occupations - Diggs is a stage actor, while Snipes composes music for film, and Hutson is an established noise music artist (Snipes and Hutson collaborated on the score to 2013s IFC documentary Room 237). But, since the formation of clipping., the field of commercial music enlarged ever so slightly, making room again for noisier, more adventurous elements in electronic production (though clipping. #insist they simply make rap music). CLPPNG is a much more ambitious project than Midcity. The album features guest verses from some of the band's strongest influences, including Gangsta Boo (formerly of Three 6 Mafia, and currently of Da Mafia 6ix), Guce (longtime Bay Area mainstay, member of Bullys Wit Fullys), King T (all-around West Coast gangster rap legend, founder of the Likwit Crew, and mentor to Xzibit and Tha Alkaholiks). For the first single from the album, "Work Work", clipping. #joined up with Cocc Pistol Cree, a newcomer from Compton best known for her appearance on DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup, and her song 'Lady Killa.' CLPPNG stretches the band's experimental sounds to fit a wider emotional range. Midcity had anger and aggression figured out, but CLPPNG fits the group's harsh electronics to club tracks, a slow jams, songs to strip to, and more. Relying heavily on musique-concrète techniques, the trio built many of the tracks out of field recordings and acoustic sounds. The beat for "Tonight (featuring Gangsta Boo)" evokes a nasty, late night encounter with it's fleshy slaps and squishy, biological noises, while "Dream" utilizes natural ambiences to create a bleary, hypnagogic mis-en-scène. But the band hasn't gone soft; the album's intro is likely the most uncompromisingly brutal piece of music they've yet recorded, and "Or Die (featuring Guce)" is as mean as anything on Midcity. CLPPNG is an album that demonstrates the variety of sounds available when the 'rules' of a genre are willfully questioned.

GRADING
GRADING
Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws. Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback.
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
