Verzuz has hosted a wide variety of artists since launching the platform last year as a way to combat the quarantine blues. From RZA and DJ Premier to Teddy Riley and Babyface, each event has attracted thousands of Hip Hop and R&B fans eager to hear some of their favorite songs.
But there really hasn’t been an event featuring Hip Hop’s earliest pioneers. According to a recent Instagram post, Scorpio and Mele Mel of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5 are hoping to change that.
On Friday (July 2), Scorpio published a heartfelt letter to Verzuz co-founders Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, imploring them to set up a battle with The Furious 5 and fellow trailblazers The Sugarhill Gang.
