T.I. “Verzuz” Jeezy: Fans React & Predict Who Will Win

T.I. has been itching to get his own Verzuz battle off the ground, although first, he needs to find a willing opponent. Tip was targeting 50 Cent for the popular live hit-against-hit series, but Fif shut down the proposal and hasn’t looked back. It was quiet for a period of time, but now the interest in T.I.’s Verzuz challenge has been renewed, thanks to a recent call to action from Busta Rhymes.

Busta Rhymes appeared on an IG Live stream with Fat Joe where he proposed going head-to-head with the ATL rapper, however, T.I. declined the match-up. According to T.I., the generational gap between the two artists would be a bit too wide for a Verzuz. Nonetheless, Tip kept the ball rolling with possible other contenders, namely, Young Jeezy. “But if Young wanted this smoke, he’d say it,” T.I. contemplated.

Well, looks like it has been said. Jeezy followed up T.I.’s video, addressing the possibility of a Verzuz battle by simply demanding: “PUT A DATE ON IT.” The Snowman took to his own Instagram to share a video clip, where he expanded on that further:

“Say bruh. You done been around the whole world on your campaign. Now you back here. I don’t know what you avoiding me for. I’ll tell you what though, since it mean that much to you, put a date on it. I ain’t gon’ meet you there, I’m gon’ beat you there. Straight up. Big Snow.”

Now that it appears the pieces are in motion for our next Verzuz battle to be a show-down between the two ATL natives, fans are taking to twitter to dissect, discuss and predict what will happen.

Take a look at some of the reactions below. Let us know what your expectations for this battle are.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
