Tonight (February 27), D’Angelo is leading a VERZUZ battle against an unannounced slate of competitors live from the Apollo Theater. Take a look via Instagram or Apple Music.
VERZUZ events have so far been one-on-one battles with occasional surprise guests, like Dionne Warwick dropping in on Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle last year. D’Angelo’s approach will differ as he faces off against multiple surprise opponents. The singer’s most recent album was 2014’s Black Messiah, and the 2019 documentary Devil’s Pie claimed that he’s been working on its follow-up.
