The long-awaited battle of VERZUZ between Raekwon and Ghostface Killah took place Saturday night which marked the first after the newly written campaign between the series and Triller Network.
Timbaland and Swizz Beatz announced a contract with Triller Network earlier this month where the company acquired the popular live streaming music platform. The Grammy-winning multi-platinum producers and entrepreneurs will also join the VERZUZ Triller management team to help oversee the music and strategies of other companies.

The two legendary rappers went through some of their catalogs together from Discography Wu-Tang Clan as well as their solo beats over two decades ago. RZA seemed to say hello between them as Ol ‘Dirty Bastard’s son Young Dirty Bastard did. Cappadonna appeared performing his guest verse on Raekwon’s ‘Ice Cream’ while Masta Killa came up for ‘Glaciers of Ice’.
It was definitely a moment when they played the last Wu-Tang classic ‘CREAM’. In case you missed the live stream, you can watch the battle below. TIDAL has played a playlist of all the songs – check this out.
