Clipse was an American hip hop duo, formed by brothers Gene "No Malice" Thornton and Terrence "Pusha T" Thornton, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Thornton brothers were born in The Bronx and moved to Virginia Beach. They were introduced to Pharrell Williams, one half of the production team The Neptunes. Impressed with their lyrical talents, Williams formed a working relationship with the duo. He helped them secure a recording contract with Elektra in 1996. The group was affiliated with the production team The Neptunes, and in 2002 signed to their imprint Star Trak Entertainment.
