Gucci Mane Takes T.I.’s Spot For His Upcoming ‘Verzuz’ Battle With Jeezy
Getty Image In just a few days, Gucci and Jeezy will put aside their longstanding beef to go head-to-head for the season premiere of ‘Verzuz.’ …

Verzuz is just days away from making its return for the second season of 20-song battles between a number of the music industry’s biggest names. The platform was set to kick things off with a head-to-head matchup with T.I. and Jeezy but late Saturday night the platform made an announcement that surprised all hip-hop lovers on social media. Verzuz announced that Gucci Mane would replace T.I. for the upcoming battle and the Atlanta rap legend would go against Jeezy on November 19. The news was a shock, as the two rappers have not seen eye to eye in nearly two decades.
Gucci Mane made the announcement on his Instagram page with a post that was captioned, “Tell buddy Get ready Thursday Nov 19 @verzuztv Trap God vs Snowcone.” The caption proves that while two rappers will sit down for the matchup, it doesn’t entirely mean that things are happy and peachy between them. T.I. also posted the flyer for Gucci and Jeezy’s battle and said, “Now THIS… Is what the people wants to see!!” He added, “Trap Muzik salutes y’all.”
The exact details of what took place to make this a matchup between Gucci and Jeezy a reality are unknown at the moment. It should be noted, however, that T.I. sat down with the Thug Motivation 101 rapper back in July and urged him to dispel his beef with the fellow ATL trap star. Throughout the conversation on T.I.’s ExpediTIously podcast, Jeezy showed respect for Gucci “decades” of bad blood.
You can check out the flyer above. Tune in 11/19 at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST to watch Gucci Mane and Jeezy battle it out.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
