A Face-Off Between Hip Hop Artists
Timberland’s and Swizz-Beats VERZUZ Hip-Hop Battle is the best thing that’s come out of the novel pandemic. It brings together the best Hip-Hop artists in the industry for one epic social media showdown.
VERZUZ’s most talked-about battle to date happened between Gucci Mane and JEEZY from two weeks ago. These two delivered an intense and revolutionary showdown, putting aside their huge online feud just for that one moment. Their rap duel ultimately changed Hip-Hop culture for the better.
As a whole, the VERZUZ Hip-Hop battles have altered the entire landscape of the Hip-Hop industry, opening up a platform for both new and long-time urban artists to showcase their talent. In addition to hosting epic battles between the biggest male rap stars in the game, the webcast series has also brought on the greatest female artists. We’ve already had Brandy and Monica rally against one another, and who could forget that legendary face-off between two old-school divas Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight. VERZUZ Hip-Hop battle recently announced their next epic showdown between leading R&B songstresses Keyshia Cole and Ashanti. The upcoming battle is already getting plenty of hype from fans and we can’t wait to see what’s in store!

The announcement first came when Keyshia Cole revealed over social media that she’d be in the upcoming VERZUZ Hip-Hop battle. Though, the “Heaven Sent” singer left us a little mystery when she didn’t reveal who’d be her opponent. Fans already had a few artists in mind, such as Mary J. Blige, Fantasia and even Ashanti. Turns out those who guessed the “Good Good” were right. Adding to her case, Ashanti even expressed her interest in joining VERZUZ’s Hip-Hop Battle on Fat Joe’s Instagram show. Looks our girl got her wish.
Shortly after Cole’s Instagrams post, VERZUZ released one of their own, confirming rumors that she’d face off with the “Foolish” singer. Both are equally great singers and know how to put is in our relationship feels. Additionally, the two even performed on stage together for their 2012 track “Woman to Woman”, which already gives us a pretty gauge for how this battle will turn out. Fans can expect to catch the battle on Dec. 12 at 8pm ET.
