Another battle on Instagram Live took place on Saturday, courtesy Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Verzuz series.
This time, it was legendary producers DJ Premier and RZA taking us down memory lane with some of the most classic songs in Hip-Hop history. RZA and Preemo started the battle around 9 p.m. ET and both gave fans a brief history of how they met each other for the first time in 1990. RZA was having trouble with his sound in the beginning but once that was sorted, it was non stop vintage cuts playing back-to-back.
RZA played songs like Wu-Tank Clan’s ‘Maria’, Raekwon’s ‘Verbal Intercourse’, Biggie’s ‘Long Kiss Good Night’, ODB’s ‘Brooklyn Zoo’, Kanye West’s ‘Dark Fantasy’ (a big surprise to many), Wu-Tang Clan’s ‘A better Tomorrow’, Nas’ recent track ‘Tanasia’ and more while Preemo combated with Jay-Z’s ‘A Million & One Questions’ & ‘D’Evils’, Biggie’s ‘Unbelievable’, Nas’ ‘NY State of Mind’, Royce da 5’9″‘s ‘Boom’, D’Angelo’s ‘Devil’s Pie’ and more.
Below, you can watch a replay of the almost entire battle and we have created a playlist of all records played for you to stream.
