In late 2003, Clipse began recording material for their second album, Hell Hath No Fury. Fueled by two successful singles, Clipse released their commercial debut album Lord Willin' on August 20, 2002, debuting at #1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-hop Album chart and #4 on the Billboard 200, eventually being certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 1, 2002.
Similar success followed with their second single, When the Last Time, which peaked at #19. Their debut single, Grindin' was released on May 14, 2002, and became a summer Top 40 hit, reaching number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 30, 2002. Clipse began working on their major label debut, executively produced by The Neptunes.
In early 2001, Pharrell Williams signed the duo to Arista Records through his recently established Star Trak imprint. After being dropped, Terrar changed his name to Pusha T, and despite not being signed to a major label, he made numerous appearances on other artists' songs, appearing on Kelis' 1999 single " Good Stuff" and Nivea's 2001 single " Run Away (I Wanna Be with U)", respectively, thanks to his relationship with The Neptunes, who produced both songs. After recording the entire album, they released one single, "The Funeral", which was commercially unsuccessful and eventually led to the release of the album being cancelled and Clipse being dropped from the label shortly after. After being signed to Elektra, they began working on their debut album, Exclusive Audio Footage. Terrence initially took the stage name Terrar. Shortly after forming Clipse, the brothers were introduced to record producer and fellow Virginian Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes, who helped them secure a recording contract with Elektra Records in 1997.
