D'Angelo's appearance on Verzuz took place last night, and it did not disappoint. This episode broke the show's traditional rap battle format and saw the R&B star and some "friends" take over Harlem's historic Apollo Theater for a rousing 24-song set. D'Angelo started the performance off with a bang, debuting an untitled new song with trumpeter Keyon Harrold. From there, he jumped into a cover of Smokey Robinson's "Cruisin'." Red Man and Method Man came out to help with "Left & Right," before the latter took the lead on his own song, "Break Ups 2 Make Ups." The singer ran through favorites off Black Messiah, Voodoo and Brown Sugar before bringing out H.E.R. to perform her Daniel Caesar collaboration, "Best Part" and duet with D'Angelo on Lauryn Hill's "Nothing Even Matters." He closed the set with "Untitled (How Does It Feel)." D'Angelo's been hinting at a new album for a while now, but hasn't revealed a timeline. His latest, Black Messiah, came out in 2014.
