Verzuz Battle: Students Vs. Teachers 
​Tuesday, 2.23 (B-Day - 3rd Block Lunch)

Picture
VERZUZ BATTLE SIGN-UP

What is VERZUZ?

I feel like Verzuz has really solidified Black music as popular music. We drive the culture. Black music drives and influences and touches all other forms of music. When you see Michelle Obama checking in to a chat with John Legend and Alicia Keys and Jill Scott and Erykah Badu, or when you see the kind of show that Bounty Killer and Beenie Man put on…my goodness, these amazing moments in culture!" - Johnta' Austin
