Saturday (March 20) evening’s Verzuz was something that real hip hop fans will never forget thanks to Wu-Tang members Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. The two New York MCs duked it out in the Verzuz ring, and it was everything fans could’ve imagined and more.
From the classic hits each rapper played to surprise guest appearances by fellow Wu-Tang artists like RZA and Masta Killa, Rae and Ghost did what needed to be done in order for their 100,000 plus fans who were watching to enjoy the rap festivities. However, this event wasn’t the only highlight of the night.
Almost immediately after the two MCs’ battle ended, Verzuz made multiple major announcements that left everyone in shock — and excitement. It turns out that they have a number of other Verzuz showdowns on the way in the very near future. The closest ones are The Isley Brothers vs. Earth, Wind and Fire, which is set to go down on April 4; and a special edition 4/20 event with Redman and Method Man. These are going to be lit (pun intended)!
“We’re just getting started. We got so much on the way and can’t wait to reveal the rest, but for now…” the official Verzuz account said on Instagram with a graphic for their big reveal, as well as dates for their future battles.
What makes these upcoming Verzuz even more exciting is: One, there’s also an upcoming Mother’s Day edition that is included; two, there’s a Ladies Night edition; and three — and this could be the most jaw-dropping reveal of the night — there’s a rematch in the works. Who could that one be between?!
We’re going to have to wait until we get closer to these dates to find out. But, in the meantime, we’ll have The Isley Brothers; and Earth, Wind and Fire; and Redman and Method Man’s main events to hold us over.
