Clipse became the first ever Hip Hop artists to perform a rap concert at The Vatican when they joined John Legend in St. Peter’s Square.<\/p>\n
Grace for the World was the first ever concert hosted at the iconic holy site and was co-directed by Pharrell Williams, featuring voices such as classical singer Andrea Bocelli, Jennifer Hudson and country star, Jelly Roll.<\/p>\n
During John Legend’s portion of the event, he brought out both members of the Clipse to perform their collaboration “The Birds Don’t Sing”.<\/p>\n
It was a fitting moment given the spiritual bent of the track and No Malice’s embrace of religion in recent years.<\/p>\n
