Clipping. is an experimental hip-hop group hailing from Los Angeles, California, that has been cutting through the genre's traditional boundaries since their formation in 2009. Composed of rapper Daveed Diggs and producers William Hutson and Jonathan Snipes, clipping. has made a name for themselves through their fusion of noise, industrial sounds, and eloquent, incisive rapping. Diggs' rapid-fire lyrical prowess, known to many through his Tony-winning performance in the Broadway phenomenon "Hamilton," is set against a backdrop of abrasive and challenging instrumentals, creating an uncompromising and thought-provoking auditory experience.

The group's recent releases continue to define their vivid, narrative-driven and sonically intense style. Albums like "Visions of Bodies Being Burned" and "There Existed an Addiction to Blood" are lauded for their horrorcore influences and deep thematic content, exploring social commentary through striking storytelling. Songs like "Chapter 319" directly address social issues, reflecting the unrest of contemporary societal movements. Their unique approach to music production and their continual innovation in the field of hip-hop have earned Clipping. critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase eager to follow their unpredictable sonic ventures. Their project "Wriggle (Expanded)" and series of remixes such as "REMXNG 2.1" to "REMXNG 2.4" display the group's dedication to evolving their sound and deconstructing the conventions of hip-hop music.
