After an extended hiatus Verzuz returned in late October last year with a Cash Money vs No Limit Verzuz that reignited fans passion in the battle format. Here we are 3 months later and we get another battle, this time, returning to the original concept completely with two producers going at each other. The Mike Will Made-It vs Hit-Boy Verzuz may not have been on anyone’s bingo card, but its a great pairing and pits two of the most talented producers of the last decade against each other.

Round by Round of the Omarion vs Mario Verzuz Battle
Round 3: Hit-Boy: Drake – “Trophies” vs Mike Will Made It: Future – “Itchin”
Winner: Hit-Boy – “Trophies”
Round 4: Hit-Boy: Nicki Minaj featuring Beyonce – “Feeling Myself” vs Mike Will Made-It: Rae Sremmurd – “Throw Sum Mo”
Winner: Hit-Boy – “Feeling Myself”
We’re not going to act like this Nicki Minaj record didn’t go off.
Round 5: Hit-Boy: A$AP Rocky featuring Brent Faiyaz – “Stay Here 4 Life” | A$AP Rocky – “Goldie” | “1 Train” vs Mike Will Made-It: Ciara – “Body Party”
Winner: Hit-Boy
“1 Train” is the strongest record of all these.
This was probably one song too late for Mike Will Made-It. But also feels like Mike Will came with his one song and Hit-Boy is just outpacing him and messed up his order.
Round 6: Hit-Boy: “Sorry”
I’m going to give this to Hit-Boy and allow Mike to reset because his next pick couldn’t have gone up against “Sorry.”
Winner: Hit-Boy – “Sorry”
Round 7: Mike Will Made-It: 2 Chainz featuring Drake – “No Lie” vs. Hit-Boy: Kanye West featuring DJ Khaled – “Cold”
Winner: Mike Will Made-It – “No Lie”
Round 8: Mike Will Made-It: Lil Wayne featuring Drake and Future – “Love Me” vs. Hit-Boy: Nipsey Hussle featuring Roddy Ricch – “Racks In The Middle”
Even though they were in Los Angeles the crowd didn’t go crazy for the Nipsey record. Grammy award or not…
Winner: Mike Will Made-It – “Love Me”
Round 9: Mike Will Made-It: Rihanna – “Pour It Up” vs Hit-Boy: Travis Scott featuring Drake – “Sicko Mode”
Thought about giving it to Hit-Boy, but he cut the track off early for some reason. I’ma have to go with Rihanna.
Winner: Mike Will Made-It – “Pour It Up”
Round 10: Mike Will Made-It: Rae Sremmurd featuring Gucci Mane – “Black Beattles” vs Hit-Boy: Kanye West featuring Jay-Z & Big Sean – “Clique”
The special guests came out this round. Rae Sremmurd performed and then Big Sean did his verse on “Clique:” Big Sean also premiered a brand new record.
Winner: Hit-Boy – “Clique”
Round 11: Mike Will Made-It: Juicy J featuring Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz – “Bandz A Make Her Dance” vs Hit-Boy: Nas featuring Fivio Foreign & A$AP Rocky – “Spicy”
This is a Grammy Award winning album for Nas and Hit-Boy, but literally never heard anyone say, hey, play that Nas “Spicy” record. I have heard requests for that Juicy though.
Winner: Mike Will Made-It: “Bandz A Make Her Dance”
Round 12: Mike Will Made-It: Jay Rock featuring Kendrick Lamar, Future & James Blake – “Kings Dead” vs Hit-Boy: The Game featuring Kanye West – “Eazy”
I really like this song, but the only Verzuz I thought I would ever see it in is one for The Game. Hit-Boy is relaxing in these middle rounds, playing some personal favorites… but the crowd is out of it.
Winner: Mike Will Made-It – “Kings Dead”
Round 13: Mike Will Made-It: Future featuring Pharrell – “Move That Dope” vs Hit-Boy: Beyonce – “Bow Down”
Hit-Boy throwing another wrench in things. But guess it goes to Hit.
Winner: Hit-Boy – “Bow Down”
Round 14: Mike Will Made-It: Beyonce – “Formation” vs. Hit-Boy: Beyonce – “Flawless”
Could easily be a tie. But for now, I’m going “Flawless.”
Winner: Hit-Boy – “Flawless”
Round 15: Mike Will Made-It: Ace Hood featuring Future – “Bugatti” vs Hit-Boy: Travis Scott featuring Frank Ocean – “Carousel”
A massive single verses an album cut…
Winner: Mike Will Made-It – “Bugatti”
Round 16: Mike Will Made-It: Rae Sremmurd – “No Type” vs. Hit-Boy: Lil Wayne featuring Eminem – “Drop The World”
Another record I didn’t expect to hear from Hit-Boy. Great production, but it wasn’t a hit when it dropped.
Winner: Mike Will Made-It – “No Type”
Round 17: Mike Will Made-It: Future – “Turn On The Lights” vs Hit-Boy: Rihanna – “For Me”
Wow.
Winner: Mike Will Made it: “Turn On The Lights”
Round 18: Mike Will Made-It: Yo Gotti – “Rake It Up” | Kanye West featuring 2 Chainz, Big Sean – “Mercy” vs Hit-Boy – “N*ggas In Paris”
I was ready to give this round to Hit-Boy, but Mike Will surprised with the second track. Was hoping Hit-Boy did 2 tracks as well to make up for it. 2 hit songs verses 1 hit. Gotta go…
Winner: Mike Will Made-It – “Rake It Up” & “Mercy”
Mike Will Made-It wins 10 – 8.
