The critically acclaimed West Coast-based experimental hip-hop trio, "clipping" is frontedby Tony and Grammy winning actor, rapper and writer, Daveed Diggs along with producersJonathan Snipes and William Hutson. They initially rose to prominence with their debutalbum 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 thesecond time ever a music album was nominated for a Hugo Award, putting them up againstthe likes of GAME OF THRONES and BLACK MIRROR. Their follow up, THE DEEP, garneredsimilar 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 ANADDITION TO BLOOD and VISIONS OF BODIES BEING BURNED. Line of Best Fit's JackBray hailed it as "sonically intriguing" and "another successful experiment for the groupand one of the eeriest examples of modern hip- hop to date."
