Verzuz Cheat Sheet: Keith Sweat x Bobby Brown

Verzuz Cheat Sheet: Keith Sweat x Bobby Brown

On the heels of a Bow Wow x Soulja Boy Verzuz that’s sure to go down as one of the series’ most entertaining, the game-changing musical celebration is back with two forces of ’90s R&B who, not coincidentally, had the same effect on the women of their generation that Bow Wow and Soulja Boy did on theirs. Keith Sweat and Bobby Brown come together next to see who the real king of having panties thrown onstage is. Brown’s time as a star goes back to a childhood spent busting dance moves in lockstep with the Boston-originating boy band New Edition, but by the time new jack swing was the sound of the streets, both he and Sweat would have top billing at any given venue in America, with evenly paired discographies. For every “Don’t Be Cruel”, Sweat has a “Twisted”; for every “Rock Wit’cha” there is a “Nobody”; and for every “Roni”, there’s an “I Want Her”. Their unique vocal styles are a calling card for each of their catalogues, and in their given heyday, you’re not likely to find a woman who wouldn’t have screamed at the sight of either one of them unzipping a leather jacket during a performance. Get reacquainted with both of their catalogues by way of the official Keith Sweat x Bobby Brown Cheat Sheet playlist, as curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.
