18 Jill Scott Songs to Know Before the Erykah Badu Instagram Live Battle
In recent months, Instagram Live battles between music's biggest names have become one of the quarantine's top sources of entertainment. Targeting our nostalgia while also breaking the internet, face-offs like Teddy Riley vs. Babyface and 'Lil Jon vs. T-Pain have become instant trending Twitter topics. And next up? Jill Scott vs. Erykah Badu.
Verzuz announced that the Queens of neo soul would be the first women to go head-to-head on Saturday, May 9 at 7 p.m. EST (@missjillscott and @erykahbadu). And while both artists have more-than-enough music from their 20-plus year careers to satisfy, it's worth taking a look at their respective repertoires. And in this case, we're eyeing Jill Scott.
The Philadelphia native and three-time Grammy winner has plenty of hits worthy of warring with Badu's. Each carrying her signature sensual sound, tracks like "A Long Walk," "The Way," and "Golden" will be hard to beat. And we can't forget the tangled history of "You Got Me" that could pose the ultimate challenge between the two women. So in preparation for this epic battle, here are Jill Scott's best songs that we'll most likely hear during the epic Verzuz battle.
