Clipping. Is A Rap Trio From Los Angeles Formed In 2010 By William Hutson Rale Film Soundtrack Composer Jonathan Snipes Ex-Captain Ahab And Vocalist Daveed Diggs. Lyrically Clipping.’s Music Attempts To Reshuffle And Repeat Accepted Rap Scenarios While Eliminating A Traditional Single-Point Perspective. Diggs’s Writing Is Heavily Citational Like A Rough-Edged Collage Gluing Together Half-Glimpsed Images And Misremembered References Many Of Which Might Feel Familiar And Some Of Which Assuredly Do Not. But Even While He Consumes And Regurgitates Established Styles His Self-Erasure Is Incomplete Diggs’s Dense Often Motormouthed Flow Remains Wholly His Own. Individually The Members Are Known Outside Of The Group For Their Extra-Curricular Artistic Projects. Diggs Is A Stage Actor While Snipes Composes Music For Film And Hutson Is An Established Noise Music Artist. Snipes And Hutson Have Collaborated On Many Projects Including The Score To The Documentary Room 237 Which Was Released By IFC In 2013. In February 2013 Clipping. Released Their Debut Album Midcity On Their Website. The Project Was Created Entirely In-House With The Trio Writing Producing Engineering Mixing And Mastering All Of The Material Themselves. There Was No Budget No Outside Promotion No Hype-Machine No Blog Or Label Interest. In Fact Clipping. Had No Expectation That Anyone Would Bother Listening To The Album Let Alone Enjoy It. Nevertheless Reactions Were Largely Positive— Despite The Uncompromising Nature Of The Production And Its Obfuscatory Lyrical Content— And Within Five Month’s Of Midcity’s Release Clipping. Signed A Deal With Sub Pop Records. CLPPNG The Band’s Label Debut Was Written And Recorded Between February And October Of 2013.
