Method Man and Redman went hit-by-hit at the “How High 4/20 Special” VERZUZ event tonight. The ‘fight’ was a light-hearted event in which the two employees and friends danced and joked with each other almost all the time. They ended by announcing that they are at work Black out! 3.
RZA, Inspectah Deck and Cappadonna were guest appearances and RZA announced that a new album with DJ Screw was on the way. DJ Kool showed up and performed “Let’s Get Dirty” and “Let Me Clear My Throat.” EPMD, Keith Murray and Lords of the Underground’s Dupre “Doitall” Kelly appeared. Kelly announced that he was running for office in Newark. Find a playlist of songs from the evening below.
Method Man was referring to the jury’s verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial today. “Guilty of all charges,” he said, adding later that if you put negative energy into the world, “you deserve every damn bit of it.” Method and Redman also paid tribute to the late Black Rob and DMX.
Last month, VERZUZ streamed a showdown between Wu-Tang Clan’s own Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. In early April, Steve Harvey staged a duel between soul legends The Isley Brothers and Earth, Wind & Fire. Last week, Redman shared a new song entitled “80 Barz”, released in collaboration with RIV MUSIC; watch the new video of that single below. He also announced his next studio album Muddy waters 2 will fall this summer.
