Wu-Tang Clan members Raekwon and Ghostface Killah battled it out on Verzuz, Saturday night.

RZA, who headlined his own episode of Verzuz against DJ Premier last year, also appeared during the show. Cappadonna and Masta Killa both came on to perform verses from “Ice Cream,” and “Glaciers of Ice" respectively. Inspectah Deck also came on to perform Wu-Tang Clan’s classic hit  “C.R.E.A.M.”

“This is something we’re doing for culture,” RZA told Complex before his appearance with Premier, in April 2020. “People could take it as a fight, a battle, whatever they want, but it’s more about us celebrating the culture of hip-hop. I’m a big fan of DJ Premier.”
