On May 9, 2020, the highly anticipated Verzuz battle between Erykah Badu and Jill Scott brought together fans worldwide during the height of the global shutdown. When the final song ended, the night didn’t stop. The official afterparty transitioned to Erykah Badu’s digital platform via BaduWorldMarket.com and that’s when The Wild Tight Collective took over. Personally curated by Erykah Badu, the all-female DJ collective was assembled to carry the cultural momentum forward through live DJ sets, extending the celebration beyond the battle format.
The Wild Tight Collective featured:
DJ Sophia Rocks | DJ Rashida | DJ Leydis | Venus X | Natasha Diggs
Founded and curated by Erykah Badu
