Clipse<\/a> continue their epic run in 2025 by releasing the official video for \u201cF.I.C.O.,\u201d a standout track from their comeback album Let God Sort Em Out.<\/p>\n

Directed by Hannan Hussain, who was also behind the duo\u2019s \u201cSo Be It\u201d video, the visual merges Pusha T<\/a> and Malice<\/a>\u2018s slick street rhymes with dark and gritty visuals.<\/p>\n

While reflecting on their dicey dope boy days, the Virginia-bred brothers post up in an empty apartment building and cruise through the rainy streets of New York City in the back of a luxury whip.<\/p>\n

The clip is full of neat subtle touches that bring the song to life, such as a shot of Pusha sat in the back of said car as a body is loaded into the trunk, paired perfectly with his line: \u201cWhen you pay a n-gga back like it\u2019s layaway \/ Whispering \u2018die slow,\u2019 the last words you hear in the trunk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stove God Cooks<\/a> also makes an appearance in the video as he delivers what Pusha has crowned the \u201chook of the year.\u201d (He ain\u2019t lying.)<\/p>\n

The \u201cF.I.C.O.\u201d video arrives hot on the heels of yet another milestone moment for Clipse, who recently earned their first Grammy nominations in over 20 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rap veterans are up for five awards at next year\u2019s Grammys, including the coveted Album of the Year prize for Let God Sort Em Out \u2014 their first time in one of the \u201cBig Four\u201d categories.<\/p>\n

The critically-acclaimed Pharrell<\/a>-produced project is also in the race for Best Rap Album, while \u201cThe Birds Don\u2019t Sing\u201d is nominated for Best Rap Song, \u201cChains & Whips\u201d is up for Best Rap Performance\u201d and \u201cSo Be It\u201d is competing for Best Music Video.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing home that hardware would mean everything,\u201d Pusha T said of Clipse\u2019s chances at the Grammys in a recent interview with GQ<\/a>. \u201cWe going for it. We made the album. We looked at it, like, this is that strong. We need to take something home for this.\u201d<\/p>\n
