Clipse Rolls the Dice With Stove God Cooks in Gritty ‘F.I.C.O.’ Video: Watch

Clipse took it back to the trenches for the “F.I.C.O.” visual featuring a lift from Stove God Cooks. Directed by Hannan Hussain, who previously helmed the Virginia-bred duo’s “So Be It” visual, the clip arrived on Wednesday (Nov. 12).

Pusha T sets the tone, rapping in the stairwells of the projects before heading upstairs to a barren apartment living room. The scene pivots to a rainy drive through the city while he reflects on his days of wheeling and dealing.

“I remember late nights, pissy hallways/ Driving me psycho/ The money wouldn’t come fast enough,” he recalls.

Stove God Cooks invades the scene while barring up from outside the driver’s window POV. There are plenty of black-and-white visuals adding a grittiness to the video. Malice bats third to effortlessly deliver some of his best lyrical work from Let God Sort Em Out.

“When it come down to it, every Stringer Bell just needs an Avon/ Who won’t sweep it under the rug,” he raps with a reference to The Wire.

2025 has been a banner comeback year for Clipse, who released their Let God Sort Em Out album in July. The Thornton brothers picked up five Grammy nominations last week and they’re looking to hoist some hardware on the Grammy stage come Feb. 1, 2026.

“We have already been validated with our art form and the music that we put out. So to be able to walk it into a Grammy nomination, you got to first have the product, then you connect to the plug,” Malice told GQ. “You know what I’m saying?”

Pusha T added: “Bringing home that hardware would mean everything. We going for it. We made the album, we looked at it, like, this is that strong. We need to take something home for this.”
