BiographyExperimental hip-hop/noise hybrid Clipping was formed by producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson in 2009, the project initially existing as a series of remixes where the duo put the vocals from preexisting a cappella versions of commercially successful hip-hop tracks over their new beats made with noise and industrial elements. The harsh sounds of the project expanded the next year when rapper and long-term friend Daveed Diggs joined up, completing the group's uncommon sound. The group's debut album, Midcity, was released in February of 2013, released solely online and with no promotion or label backing. The sound was so innovative that within months the project inked a deal with Sub Pop Records, which delivered second album CLPPNG the next year. The album featured guest spots from ex-Three 6 Mafia MC Gangsta Boo, King T, Guce, and others. .
