Verzuz Cheat Sheet: Jill Scott x Erykah Badu

Apple Music

The Verzuz series, presented by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, has quickly become one of the must-watch musical events of 2020. The friendly live-streamed battles have featured some of hip-hop and R&B’s most beloved songwriters and producers, digging deep into their catalogues to remind us—and each other—how much work they’ve put in. In the latest highly anticipated face-off, we have Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, two of R&B’s most celebrated singers and songwriters, who have often been compared by fans and press. They were the leading women voices in the late-1990s neo-soul explosion, and they both appear on different versions of The Roots’ 1999 hit “You Got Me” (a then-unknown Scott wrote and originally sang the hook, only to have her vocals replaced by Badu on the single). Brush up on the legendary catalogues of both of these queens of soul with the Verzuz Cheat Sheet playlist, curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.
