Two of the most iconic Southern rap duos of all-time, UGK and 8Ball & MJG, are finally set to face-off for the latest Verzuz.
It’s Texas versus Tennessee for the first Verzuz since Anthony Hamilton and Musiq Soulchild went head-to-head back in February. The battle is set to kick-off at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, and is available to watch on Triller, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch. Premium access will be hosted on the official Verzuz website here.
The battle was only announced this week, but UGK’s Bun B confirmed the event was set to take place all the way back in January 2021. “I know I’m doing a Verzuz, but it’s not Texas-based,” he teased in an appearance on the Donnie Houston Podcast. “I’m doing Verzuz. It’ll be UGK probably against 8Ball & MJG. … Yeah, UGK will represent Texas in Verzuz going up against [neighborhood] North Mound.”
Prior to that, Verzuz founders Timbaland and Swizz Beatz said they were open to such a match-up if “the people want it,” which prompted Bun to urge his followers to ask for it to happen.
