New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The December 2 TrillerVerz, combining first-class professional boxing with iconic VERZUZ battles, will be the launchpad for rising rap star LPB Poody's new music video "I'm The One," which will make its world premiere just prior to the highly anticipated VERZUZ battle between iconic rap groups
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia, taking place at the legendary Hollywood Palladium in front of a live audience. VERZUZ is the ground-breaking music artist "battle" platform founded by music visionaries
Swizz Beatz and Timbaland.
After the music video premiere on VERZUZ, Poody's mixtape titled "
I'm The One" will drop at 9pm PST/Midnight EST, and the music will be immediately available on VEVO. Poody will be at the December 2 VERZUZ to personally debut the music video, along with Breyon Prescot of Chameleon Group Holdings who just signed Poody (https://www.instagram.com/lpb.poody/).
With an average of more than 5 million viewers across FITE, TrillerTV and other Triller social channels, the VERZUZ slot represents one of the most widely watched and influential opportunities in popular culture to debut new material by the most exciting music artists. Referred to by music industry insiders as the "VERZUZ Effect," VERZUZ performances drive visibility, sales and chart growth for participating artists.
"We are thrilled to give Poody this special stage to debut his new video," said
Bobby Sarnevesht, Executive Chairman of VERZUZ parent company TrillerNet. "VERZUZ not only captures the cultural moment but has become an important platform that we will continue to use to support daring artists who have something to say."
The TrillerVerz series debuted on August 3 and featured the first live VERZUZ battle between East Coast rap groups THE LOX and DIPSET. With its digital broadcast viewership of more than 5 million people, TrillerVerz digital broadcasts consistently break into television's top 10 rated programs, as measured by average viewers.
Since its creation in 2020, VERZUZ has won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Variety Show (Series or Special) and landed founders
Swizz Beatz and
Timbaland on Time Magazine's list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2021.
The premiere showing of the new Poody video also occurs immediately following the latest round of head-to-head DJ battles by the 16 semi-finalists competing to land the $1 Million Triller Resident DJ Competition. At each TrillerVerz event, two round-of-16 finalists go head-to-head with audience voting determining who advances to the final battle which will take place in 2022.
