The critically acclaimed West Coast-based experimental hip-hop trio, "clipping" is fronted

by Tony and Grammy winning actor, rapper and writer, Daveed Diggs along with producers

Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson. They initially rose to prominence with their debut

album MIDCITY and follow up, CLPPNG. In 2016 they released their opus, SPLENDOR &

MISERY, a science fiction concept album that garnered international critical acclaim,

including a Hugo Award nomination for Best Dramatic Presentation. This was only the

second time ever a music album was nominated for a Hugo Award, putting them up against

the likes of GAME OF THRONES and BLACK MIRROR. Their follow up, THE DEEP, garnered

similar attention including another Hugo Award nomination as well as influencing a Simon &

Schuster published novel of the same name. Most recently the band diverted from their sci-

fi storytelling and released a set of horror-based concept albums, THERE EXISTED AN

ADDITION TO BLOOD and VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED. Line of Best Fit's Jack

Bray hailed it as "sonically intriguing" and "another successful experiment for the group

and one of the eeriest examples of modern hip- hop to date."
