Verzuz Cheat Sheet: Tyrese x Tank

The latest installment of Verzuz—which you can watch right here on Apple Music on March 26 at 5:30 pm PT—is for the lovers. Two of the most beloved personalities in all of R&B, Tyrese and Tank, are facing off in a battle for slow-jam supremacy. Now, you might love Tyrese for his iconic acting roles in films like Baby Boy and the Fast & Furious franchise, but long before he could make a case for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Watts-hailing singer had already etched his name into the R&B history books with all-time ballads like “Sweet Lady,” “How You Gonna Act Like That,” and “Signs of Love Makin’.” Tyrese has a catalog of bangers, to be sure, but Milwaukee-born singer, actor, and beloved podcast host Tank is no slouch either, especially when it comes to crafting mood-setting hits like “Maybe I Deserve,” “Slowly,” and “When We.” With overlaps in both era and talent, the pair could have easily been rivals if they weren’t actual friends, having collaborated as part of the R&B supergroup TGT with Ginuwine. Dig deep into the undeniable catalogs of Tyrese and Tank with this Cheat Sheet playlist, curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.
