Thornton began his music career in 1992 when he and his brother No Malice formed rap duo Clipse. Their albums Lord Willin’ (2002) and Hell Hath No Fury (2006), both of which were produced by The Neptunes, are accepted masterworks of the genre, each elevating the sonic scope and lyricism of street rap. Together they founded Re-Up Records and released a handful of mixtapes, but eventually parted ways to pursue solo careers on the heels of their third studio album, 2009’s ’Til the Casket Drops. Since signing to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music in 2010, Thornton has released three studio albums on G.O.O.D. Music and Def Jam Recordings. His 2018 album Daytona, which was produced exclusively by Kanye West, is arguably his strongest and most cohesive effort yet.
