Why the two Pop Stars should battle in a Verzuz event.
If you’ve never seen a Verzuz battle, you’ve been missing out. Created by legendary music producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, Verzuz is an online event that was first held on Instagram Live birthed during the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s where two music figures would face off against each other. The first battle was Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. Since then, we’ve had other Producers like RZA and Dj Premier, Rappers like Ludacris and Nelly, Snoop and DMX, Soul royalty Earth Wind and Fire and The Isley Brothers, Gladys Knight, and Patti LaBelle, Gospel greats Fred Hammond and Kirk Franklin, and even Reggae icons Bounty Killer and Beenie Man.
Whether it’s Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae, or Gospel, the battle lasts 20 rounds. Each artist plays a song, the chorus, and the first verse every round, going back and forth, playing hits and songs from their discographies while telling backstories.
Verzuz has been an enormous success, and it has only made fans dream pitch which artists should participate next. Artists like Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Usher. Which artist should they battle?
