Two of the Clipse's biggest pending projects are coming closer to completion. The first is their highly anticipated clothing line, Play Cloths, which will be hitting stores this Friday. The new line was originally announced last December and was scheduled for a summer release this year. Play Cloths was created with the help of designer Doug Life, and as Malice puts it, is "all about trying to recreate the whole feeling of trying to get that fly s---." The fabrics are considered a blend of American style, with French Riviera and Monte Carlo uses of rich, vibrant primary colors to create collectible garments.
The Clipse have also announced a tentative March 2009 release date for their Columbia Records debut. The album 'Till The Casket Drops' will be a collaborative effort between the group's Re-Up Gang Records imprint and their latest label home. The album will reportedly feature production from Timbaland, Kanye West, Danja and Dame Grease as well as contributions from Diddy's production team The Hitmen.
To please their eager fans, the Clipse are releasing the mixtape, 'Road To Till The Casket Drops,' which will be available for free download on Dec. 1.
