R&B superstars Alicia Keys and John Legend will face off in a Verzuz battle on June 19. "Let's celebrate Juneteenth with a special edition #Verzuz! @AliciaKeys vs @JohnLegend," the popular online battle series announced Saturday (June 13) on Instagram.
The Verzuz Instagram battle series -- co-helmed at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic by legendary hip-hop producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland -- has seen showdowns between such all-stars as Nelly and Ludacris, Lil Jon and T-Pain, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu and many more.
Starting as a 20-song showdown between evenly matched producers, the series has also come to encompass writers and now performers, as hip-hop and R&B fans have been glued to their IG feeds on countless weekend nights
