The music series was created by record producers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz during the COVID-19 pandemic as as social media users were able to tune into virtual battles between popular artists in the same genre from the comfort of their homes.
Some of the most iconic battles included Ashanti vs Keyshia Cole, Teddy Riley vs Babyface, Erykah Badu vs Jill Scott, Brandy vs Monica, Chaka Khan vs Stephanie Mills, Patti LaBelle vs Gladys Knight, SWV vs XSCAPE, the late DMX vs Snoop Dogg, Gucci Mane vs Jeezy, Bow Wow vs Soulja Boy, just to name a few.
Who will win between Omarion and Mario?
Omarion and Mario are both iconic R&B singers and they both enjoy their own fan following. Omarion, whose real name is Omari Ishmael Grandberry, has four solo studio albums to his name along with three collaboration albums. For the Verzuz face-off, Omarion is expected to belt out his hit singles like ‘Bump, Bump, Bump’, ‘Uh Huh’, ‘Girlfriend’, and ‘Ice Box’ among other numbers.
Mario, on the other hand, will also put his best foot forward with his club bangers. The 35-year-old crooner got five solo studio albums to his name and thus he got plenty of numbers to perform on. Mario will try to win the battle with his hit singles like ‘Just a Friend 2002’, ‘Let Me Love You’, ‘How Do I Breathe’, ‘Crying Out for Me’ and ‘Music for Love’ among a few others.
