Brothers Isley and Earth, Wind & Fire clashed at VERZUZ tonight. Special guest host Steve Harvey performed the Easter show while the two iconic groups played their songs and told a few stories. He closed with a big showdown, “That Lady” versus “September,” before a video for Isleys’ new Snoop Dogg song, “Friends and Family” debuted. Find that video, listen to a playlist of all the songs from tonight’s event and see how each round played out below.
In March, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz announced that they had sold the brand to Triller, with artists who had already performed at VERZUZ receiving a financial stake in the new partnership. The next battle pits Method Man and Redman against each other for the “How High 4/20 Special” on April 20. Last month, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah clashed in a Wu-Tang family clash.
