The latest VERZUZ face-off has been announced, and it’s a doozy: Dipset will face off against the Lox in their shared hometown of New York on August 3. This VERZUZ will be a ticketed, in-person event, scheduled for August 3 at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Like past events, the show will be streamed on the VERZUZ Instagram, as well as Triller.
Dipset released their most recent album Diplomatic Ties in 2018. The Lox released their fourth album Living Off Xperience—the follow-up to 2017’s Filthy America… It’s Beautiful—in 2020. A VERZUZ matchup last month saw Eve go head to head with Trina, with songs that spanned two decades of their careers.
