Clipse was integral in establishing Virginia as one of the East Coast's strongholds in hip hop. The duo frequently rapped about the drug dealing they had done in their youth. Williams would go on to serve as their label head, main producer (via the production duo The Neptunes) and frequent guest artist through most of their career. The duo were based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and were heavily affiliated with producer and fellow Virginia Beach native, Pharrell Williams, who convinced the two in 1992 to be a rap duo instead of solo artists. Pusha T was known as Terrar during the group's early years, while No Malice was originally known as Malicious, then changed his stage name to Malice soon after the group's formation, before changing it again to No Malice in 2012 following a conversion to Christianity. It consists of brothers Gene " No Malice" and Terrence " Pusha T" Thornton. Clipse, also known as The Clipse, is an American hip hop duo, chiefly active from 1994 to 2010.
