watch Verzuz

New York hip-hop heavyweights Jadakiss and Fabolous will face off Monday night (June 29) for the next “Verzuz” battle.

The Verzuz TV Instagram account announced the battle featuring the best of the Big Apple last week, fittingly on a New York Knicks-colored jersey with “FAB V JADA” written on the front.

But fellow NY native Cardi B announced which local fashion staples she’d be sporting from home. “Ordering my pelle pelle and my timbs for the Fabolous & Jadakiss verzuz battle .ITS LIT,” she wrote on Twitter last Wednesday (June 24).

Alicia Keys and John Legend are honoring Juneteenth with a Verzuz piano battle. The longtime friends will be squaring off from their respective homes for a night of music, competition, and festivity. The John Legend-Alicia Keys Juneteenth Verzuz battle will celebrate the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved people in Texas in 1865, two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

Keys and Legend’s dueling piano battle is the latest battle in Verzuz’s at-home series, but if you’ve never tuned in, you probably have some questions about how to watch. What time are John Legend and Alicia Keys battling? How can I watch Verzuz TV? Here’s everything you need to know!

WILL JOHN LEGEND’S NEW CD BE PERFORMED? I WANT TO HEAR “WE WILL NEVER BREAK” AND “U MOVE I MOVE”

John Legend’s piano battle vs Alicia Keys couldn’t have come at a better time. Today, Legend released a new album, “Bigger Love,” filled with soulful love songs and ballads dedicated to his wife, Chrissy Teigen. In just a few hours, “Never Break” (which many fans have mistakenly called “We Will Never Break”) has already become one of the most popular songs, while “I Do” and “U Move, I Move” (ft. Jhené Aiko) have also captivated fans.

Considering that many of the songs on John Legend’s new CD are piano ballads — including “Never Break” — it’s likely that they’ll make an appearance during tonight’s battle. Better learn those “U Move I Move” lyrics ASAP!

VERZUZ: GLADYS KNIGHT VS PATTI LABELLE START TIME

The Verzuz: Gladys Knight vs Patti LaBelle broadcast starts at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT today (Sunday, September 13). It will be on Instagram and Apple Music. It’s almost time! If you’re not ready to watch Verzuz: Gladys Knight vs Patti LaBelle tonight, we’ll get you there. The soul legends are going to make for a lovely night of hits, and we’re eager to watch. What is Verzuz? When does the big battle go down? How can you watch online? We’ve got the answers to all these questions. We’re as excited as LaBelle, who’s admitted this matchup is putting her up against one of her personal idols. For those unfamiliar with Verzuz, these shows are like DJ battles, where each superstar plays one of their hits, and the public reacts and decides (in the comments and on social media) who won.

This duel comes a short while after Ludacris waxed Nelly and his bad internet connection in a battle that almost got called off, and the Brandi vs Monica and Snoop Dogg vs DMX battles, which were far more successful. Competitors chat during the festivities, and so far things have been cordial yet competitive, making for an entertaining night’s watch.  Here’s our look (via Apple Music) into the studio, and here’s everything you need to watch Verzuz: Gladys Knight vs Patti LaBelle.

How to watch Verzuz: Gladys Knight vs Patti LaBelle on Instagram If you’re a Spotify user, then you’ll skip Apple Music and open the Verzuz IG account and click on the LIVE button. They may direct you to the individual artists’ accounts, we’ll see then. There’s typically a short wait from the 8 p.m. ET start time before the actual festivities begin, so you have time to pour a nice beverage if you haven’t already. Want to watch on a bigger screen?
