![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() and stands the test of time.Musiq Soulchild was among a crop of R&B artists who arrived during the 2000s with no debt to the flashy and sexually aggressive sounds that prevailed throughout the preceding decade. R&B will never die, and Hamilton and Musiq proved that r&b is still relevant, and gives same good sensations as when the songs were first released. Overall if you are new to the r&b genre or have been here from the start, this Verzuz embodied what true r&b and soul music is, and it’s something that can’t be bought, it’s just innate, and we’re so thankful these incredible artists are getting their roses and still sharing their timeless gifts with the world. Hamliton brought out soulful surprise guest singers to add to his repertoire The Hamlitones, Leela James, and Kevin Ross, Raheem DeVaugn and of course Eric Roberson’s love letter ballad, “Lesson.” Musiq had some surprises up his sleeve bringing out Lucky Daye, Robert Glassman and the lead vocalist from 702 Kameelah Williams who teased the audience with a snippet of her signature vocals. Honest expressions from talented black men.” Keri Hilson said it best, “I miss bridges, change, modulations… actual singing. There were many icon magazines paying tribute to the vocalists and lyricists such as Ebony, Essence, and Vibe, with fellow r&b performers like Keysha Cole, and Eric Bellinger to name a few. If your viewing of the spectacular performances was the social media platform Instagram, you would have been entertained during the warmup show with the legendary Missy Elliot hilarious commentary on the frustration we all felt from the “live” starting and stopping, which eventually was fixed. Anthony Hamiltonand Musiq Soulchild said it best on Tuesday’s Verzuz battle, or as we like to call it, “honoring phenomenal music.” “Give it up for r&b music y’all, give it up for soul music y’all, give it up for songwriting and the culture!” What a beautiful night to commemorate the incomparable males of r&b soul music. ![]()
