My son, who is 13, and I have both been rather excited about the new album by Clipse coming out and when it finally did on July 11, Let God Sort ‘Em Out lived up to the hype. We’ve been listening to it and analyzing it so much, we decided to do a pod about it, so, please enjoy listening to a dad and his son talking about a rap record they like and some of the stories behind Let God Sort ‘Em Out.

Featuring music produced by Levon Khanna.
