It hasn’t officially been announced yet, but it looks like Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One will face off in the next Verzuz matchup
The next Verzuz will be going down on Sunday October 17th in Brooklyn, New York, at the Barclays Center. The question remains — who will be facing off?
Strong indication seems to be that the matchup will be Big Daddy Kane vs. KRS-One. On Friday, October 1st, Verzuz sent out the poster for the battle, asking fans to guess who the matchup will be — despite the fact that the poster makes it pretty obvious that it will be the two legendary rappers.
Thousands of fans guessed correctly— including Snoop Dogg and DJ Premier. (Or maybe they saw the Seat Geek landing page?) And on Twitter, rap fans have been already debating the match.
Kane and KRS are both incredible live performers. But half of the fun of a Kris show are his freestyled interludes, which don’t fit the Verzuz format. Whereas Kane is all hits, with dancing. Curious to see how it plays out.
