B2K To Face Off In Verzuz Against Pretty Ricky: Who Will Win?

Millennials are gearing up for a treat on Thursday. B2K will face off against Pretty Ricky in a Verzuz and it has the socialsphere debating, who is going to win. What say you?

B2K and Pretty Ricky have always had an unspoken rivalry, but the topic grabbed headlines when the groups embarked on the ‘Boys 4 Life Tour.’ It led to direct comparisons between their music and begged the question, who has the better catalog? Is it B2K, whose debut album landed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 Charts, their Billboard chart-topping single, or their teen pop jenesequa that captivated hearts. With hits like ‘Uh-Huh,’ ‘Bump, Bump, Bump’ and ‘Girlfriend,’ can Pretty Ricky contend? Both groups have hits and deep R&B cuts fans have been wanting to hear.

The Miami-bred group have bedroom bangers for days. We already know “Love Like Honey,” “Juicy,” and “Hotline” are going to blow the roof off the place but do they have the stamina to beat B2K’s mainstream success on wax?

Thanks to Lil’ Fizz, who went on Cam Newton’s show and played up the R&B rivalry, we will now find out. Will this be another win for the culture, or will a clear winner emerge.

As a B2K stan, it’s been a pleasure to watch the group, who we once called boys, having this kind of run as grown men. And the same goes for Pretty Ricky. Though charismatic member Slick ‘Em has been missing in action, the trio have been admirably carrying the torch. They got standing ovations every night along their recent trek under the headliners B2K, proving their music is aging as well as Spectacular.

Who Is Going To Win?

There’s lots of things that go into a Verzuz battle. It’s strategic and about energy. Who has the best performance live?

Fans are polarized over which group will win and it even seems like even though B2K amassed larger fame, they might be the underdogs. A deciding factor in the musical bout will be which one of the groups front men puts on the best show. The look, the lyrics, the vocals.

B2K will surely be counting on Omarion to turn up the sexy because Omarion’s “O” is about as freaky as it gets for them. Let’s be clear, B2K and Pretty Ricky create different music so this one is really going to boil down to who has the most known b-cuts to make it through the 20 songs. The setlist is key. B2K can’t waste of their biggest hits trying to compete with fan favorites like ‘Love Like Honey.’ That’s like Pretty Ricky’s big Joker.

There’s no way to tell whose going to win because these nights always boil down to so many variables. We’ll just have to tune into Apple Music on Thursday, June 25th for the show.
