In this episode. Extended Verzuz conversation on what the next Verzuz should be. As we said in the last episode. Jermaine Dupri Verzuz Diddy only works if the artists who's songs they play actually show up on the stage; we don't need a Timbaland Verzuz Swizz Beatz repeat.  I'm ready for another R&B Verzuz. Trey Songs seems to be the topic of conversation to come to the stage but who is the appropriate opponent? Omarion? Miguel? Chris Brown? Is Chris Brown the better match up for Usher? Can we get Justin Timberlake VERZUZ Usher???  My pick is still the same for Female R&B with Ciara VERZUZ Kelly Rowland. No one has the hits for Mary J Blige except maybe R. Kelly. Mariah Carey is a different conversation.... which brings it back to why Diddy Verzuz Dr Dre might be better. Plus a variety of other random music topics. Check it out... https://www.elsv.net
