After building a world of static, signals, and sonic paranoia on their 2024 album Dead Channel Sky, clipping. is back to twist the dial even further. The experimental hip-hop trio—Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes—just announced an extended edition titled Dead Channel Sky (Plus), set to drop September 19. To kick off the next wave of this mind-bending experience, they’ve released a new single, “Night of Heaven,” and it’s unlike anything they’ve done before.
The track is a slow burn that bends time. “Night of Heaven” opens with ghostly ambience and minimalist pulses, pulling listeners into what feels like a dream sequence gone wrong. Diggs delivers his verses with surgical precision, threading dense ideas through a haze of distortion and manipulated tones. It’s more than just a song—it’s a warning signal from a future too fragmented to recognize.
Where the original Dead Channel Sky felt like an exploration of post-human existence through fractured media, this deluxe version promises to push even further into abstraction and narrative disintegration. Hutson and Snipes lean heavily into sound design, building something that feels part film score, part data corruption. It’s hip-hop at its most avant-garde—and at its most fearless.
“Night of Heaven” doesn’t just promote a deluxe album. It opens a portal. Dead Channel Sky (Plus) isn’t about bonus tracks—it’s about expansion, transformation, and continuing to defy every category clipping. is expected to fit in.
Fans can pre-save the album now on Apple Music, but don’t expect to walk away the same after pressing play.
