D’Angelo has been announced as Verzuz’s next guest, although he does not yet have a single opponent. Instead, he will perform live from Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater with a number of unsuspecting friends. It happens on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m., posted on Instagram.
Verzuz reaches its second season after its release last spring. Recent battles have pitted the hits of Gucci Mane and Jeezy, Brandy and Monica, and E-40 and Too $ hort. More recently, Ashanti and Keyshia Cole had to reschedule their episode twice due to concerns about COVID-19. Other featured guests on the show have included icons such as Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight. Angelo’s most recent album is in 2014 Black Messiah, although he joined Erykah Badu on producer Slingbaum’s song “Behoove” last year.
