Clipping is an experimental hip-hop group known for their innovative sound and thought-provoking lyrics. Formed in 2009, the trio consists of rapper Daveed Diggs, producers William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes. With a unique blend of industrial noise, glitchy beats, and socially conscious rhymes, Clipping has gained critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Their albums tackle themes such as race, identity, and politics with raw intensity and artistic flair. Whether it's through their powerful live performances or boundary-pushing studio recordings, Clipping continues to push the boundaries of what hip-hop can be.

Dead Channel Sky fuses hip-hop and cyberpunk into an adventurous album filled with instantly catchy beats and deftly rapped tales of dystopia, technology, Afrofuturism and beyond. Features guest work by Aesop Rock, Nels Cline, Cartel Madras, Tia Nomore, Bitpanic.

On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping texture-map the twin histories of hip-hop and cyberpunk onto an alternate present where Rammellzee and Bambaataa are the superheroes of old; where Cybotron and Mantronix are the reigning legends; where Egyptian Lover and Freestyle are debated endlessly, and Ultramag and Public Enemy are the undeniable forefathers; where the lost movements of 1980s and the 1990s are still happening: rave, trip-hop, hip-house, acid house, drum and bass, big beat—the detritus of a different timeline, the survivors of armed audio warfare.&nbsp;

Clipping vocalist Daveed Diggs is a Grammy and Tony award-winner, known for his work in the original cast of Hamilton, Snowpiercer, Black-ish, Blindspotting, The Little Mermaid, and more. Clipping’s Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson are prolific experimental musicians. They scored the acclaimed documentary Room 237, and Snipes made the soundtrack to the horror film Starry Eyes. Both worked with Diggs on the Disney Channel Hanukkah song “Puppy for Hanukkah.”
