Clipse and Kendrick Lamar come together on “Chains & Whips,” a track that hits hard with sharp verses and haunting visuals. The video, released just after their long-awaited album Let God Sort Em Out, was directed by Gabriel Moses and produced by Pharrell Williams. Though Kendrick doesn't appear in the footage, his voice leads the charge, delivering one of the most talked-about verses of the year. The Clipse Kendrick Chains Whips collaboration blends bold imagery with raw emotion, showing sirens, heavy flag symbolism, and a tense police chase that ends in arrest.
Pusha T delivers his signature cold confidence, while Malice adds a reflective, spiritual layer. Kendrick’s verse calls out power structures, namechecks Rakim, and keeps his ongoing rivalry with Drake alive. The video reflects the track’s mood — distorted visuals, flickering lights, and a sense of cultural tension running through every frame. Even without a full cast onscreen, the presence of all three artists is felt throughout.
Fans have been waiting for this release since it was first teased, and it’s already getting heavy play. Early numbers show high replay value, and reactions across social media are building fast. With this track and video, Clipse and Kendrick Lamar show why their link-up was one of the most anticipated moments of the year.
