Protect Your Neck - Time to Watch Verzuz: Raekwon vs Ghostface Killah on Instagram and Apple Music. Today we expect better action in this showdown between good friends. But you don't need a degree in criminology to know how to watch with the rest of the Wu Family.

Many will think this matchup favors Ghostface, but I have a feeling everyone will be a winner on Saturday night. Not familiar with this format, what is Verzuz? From start times to how to watch Verzuz online, here are the details.

For those unfamiliar with Verzuz, these shows are informal competitions between artists. Each superstar performs one hit song and then volley against each other like a tennis match. And it's the public (who express their opinions in the comments and on social media) who decides who wins.

Verzuz has gained great popularity, and Swizz Beatz (co-creator of the event) announced that the last battle (Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy) broke the "all-time live stream audience record" with 9.1 million streamers watching. This is a huge multiple of the most popular verses before it, which topped out at an estimated 1.2 million viewers for Brandi vs. Monica.

In a phone call shared on social media, Raekwon told Ghost, "Bring my knife, I'll bring my knife. To which Ghost replied, "I have the mighty Thor's hammer," and stated, "Mouth is a curse, see you Saturday."

If you are a Spotify user, skip Apple Music, open a Verzuz IG account, and click the LIVE button. You may be directed to individual artist accounts, but that's when.

There's usually a bit of a wait between the 8 p.m. ET start and the actual festivities, so there's time to pour yourself a nice drink if you haven't already.
