Swizz Beatz and Timbaland‘s Verzuz battles have been a bright spot for many in the dark days of COVID-19, with iconic artists facing each other to play some of their biggest hits.
The New York producer revealed the news during an Instagram Live conversation that he had with Timbaland on Saturday, May 23, after Beenie Man and Bounty Killer battled each other.
The two reggae artists squared off in Jamaica face-to-face, not virtually, like the other Verzuz battles have been.
Timbaland followed and explained that one of the benefits of the battle is reminding people — many of whom are homebound during the coronavirus pandemic — about why certain artists are iconic in the first place.
Timbaland and Beatz faced each other in the first Verzuz competition.
