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.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”
Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.
“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.
Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”
Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.
“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.
The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.
“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
