A “How High 4/20” Verzuz battle between Method Man and Redman longtime friends, collaborators and well-known cannabis advocates is slated for 7 p.m. Tuesday via Instagram and the Triller app.
Outside of standout tracks and past collaborations from the duo over the years, expect some sort of tribute to their former Def Jam Recordings labelmate and occasional collaborator, DMX, who died earlier this month. The trio rhymed on the hit 1997 track “4, 3, 2,1” with LL Cool J and the recently deceased rapper known for his gritty lyrics.
Method Man, the only rapper to appear on Notorious B.I.G. and 2 Pac albums while the two artists were alive, is primarily known for his music as a member of the Wu-Tang Clan (“Method Man”). In 1994, Method Man released the first of his six solo albums including “Tical,” a RIAA-certified platinum album, and “Tical 2000: Judgement Day.”
