Over a year in the making, the VERZUZ battle between UGK and 8Ball & MJG finally has an official date--and it's soon. Fans have been clamoring for the two legendary southern rap groups to face off, in memory of fallen UGK member Pimp C. Now, it's finally happening. The two acts are set to meet this Thursday (May 26) in what's being billed as a pre-Memorial Day Weekend face-off.

“I know I’m doing a Verzuz but it’s not Texas-based,” he said during the The Donnie Houston Podcast last year. “I’m doing Verzuz, it’ll be UGK probably against 8Ball and MJG. UGK will represent Texas in Verzuz going up against Orange Mound.”

The VERZUZ battle is set for Thursday, May 26th at 8 pm ET, live from Atlanta. It has not yet been announced whether the event will feature a live audience; no ticket info has been released. Cypress Hill and Onyx faced off in the most recent VERZUZ, which was held in Los Angeles at the Forum on May 14.
