Brothers Isley and Earth, Wind & Fire have clashed tonight for VERZUZ. Special guest host Steve Harvey hosted the Easter show as the two iconic groups performed their songs and told some stories. It closed with a big showdown, “That Lady” vs. “September,” before the video for the Isleys’ new song “Friends and Family” premiered, featuring Snoop Dogg. Check out this video, listen to a playlist with all the songs from tonight’s event, and see how each round is played below.
In March, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz announced that they had sold the brand to Triller, with artists who had previously performed at VERZUZ receiving a financial stake in the new partnership.
