Thanks to the ongoing quarantine, another epic battle between two legends is taking place on Instagram Live. RZA and DJ Premier are gearing up to face off for the Verzuz series, which was launched by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland in March.
Preemo and RZA both came out swinging, with the Gang Starr member playing JAY-Z’s “A Million and One Questions” versus RZA, who wielded GZA’s “Liquid Swords.” The next round saw Premier playing M.O.P.’s “Breakin’ the Rules” against RZA’s Method Man song “Bring the Pain.” During round 3, Preemo brought out Mos Def’s “Mathematics” and RZA, Cappadonna’s “Maria.”
The competition heated up—and RZA’s sound was soon fixed—as Premier came through with Big L’s “The Enemy” and RZA played Raekwon’s “Wu Gambinos.” Preemo followed with KRS One’s “MC’s Act Like They Don’t Know” and RZA, Ghostface and Jadakiss’ “Run.”
