Daniel Topete

Clipping have released their new single, Welcome Home Warrior featuring Aesop Rock.  The track is taken from the rap trio’s cyberpunk-inspired album, Dead Channel Sky, out 14th March on Sub Pop.

Welcome Home Warrior is accompanied by a VHS-style video starring the group’s frontman Daveed Diggs as a computer hacker.  The visual is directed by Dimuccio & Miller.

Forthcoming album Dead Channel Sky marks the next chapter in Clipping’s exploration of dark, experimental music and narrative.  In addition to Aesop Rock, the album features a variety of guest appearances, including contributions from guitarist Nels Cline, computer music collective Bitpanic, rapper Tia Nomore, and fellow Sub Pop labelmates Cartel Madras.

Clipping consists of Grammy and Tony Award-winning rapper and actor Daveed Diggs, plus producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson.  Two of their previous albums have been nominated for Hugo Awards, one of science fiction’s top literary prizes, and a novella spun-off from their music was nominated for a third.
