I don’t know about you Defgrip readers, but I’ve been loving these guys since Lord Willin’ in 2002. They’ve stuck with the same theme and have consistently put out quality raw lyricism with minimal compromise. After a few bumps in the road it’s nice to see everything coming together for the Clipse and there’s a lot of excitement around the new album coming in ’09.

For any of you who are looking forward to Till The Casket Drops as much as I am, The Fader has posted a free download link to the new Play Cloths/Clipse mixtape “Road to Till The Casket Drops” on the Complex website, as well as a nice new track from Clinton Sparks’ upcoming mixtape.

Here’s the free mixtape.

Here’s the Clinton Sparks track “Still Got It for Cheap“.
