The organizers behind the popular music show ‘Verzuz‘ have announced that this Easter Sunday, two legendary groups will go head to head: The Isley Brothers and Earth Wind & Fire. It goes without saying that this is one of those must see events because of the countless hits these groups have between them.
The show will air on the Verzuz social media platforms, as well as via the Triller App (which allows for streaming in HD TV).

Legendary soul music singer, Anita Baker, is currently fighting to have all rights to her master recordings turned over to her. By law music authors and composers are entitled to have their copyrights reverted to them after thirty-five (35) years.
As such, she is asking all her fans and supporters to stop buying her music, temporarily, until she is able to take control of the masters. This would ensure that monies generated from sales, streams, downloads etc. would go to her as oppose to the music company she is going up against.
