A second season of “Verzuz” will kick off next month with the Atlanta showdown of Jeezy vs. T.I.

The popular Instagram series created during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz has hosted friendly “battles” between artists as varied as Jill Scott and Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg and DMX and Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight.

Atlanta has been represented before with duels including 112 and Jagged Edge, 2Chainz and Rick Ross, Ludacris and Nelly and The-Dream and Sean Garrett.

The Jeezy/T.I. face-off will take place at 8 p.m. Nov. 19 on Instagram @VerzuzTV.

Jeezy returned recently with the single “Back,” featuring Yo Gotti, while T.I, released a new album, “The Libra (The Legend is Back Running Atlanta)” earlier this month.
