The Triller parent company, Proxima Media, recently struck an agreement with Swizz Beatz’ and Timbaland for the takeover of Verzuz. The acquisition of Verzuz is another step on the path to overcoming their top competitor TikTok. Although Triller’s content is significantly different from Verzuz’s, Proxima Media’s acquisition will be beneficial for expanding the audience of both applications.
We do not have access to all the terms and conditions of the acquisition, but we are aware that a prerequisite for the deal was to make the two producers and founders of Verzuz major shareholders of Triller. As a part of the agreement, all previous competitors on both season one and two of Verzuz will be receiving a portion of the value of their shares in the new Triller-Verzuz company.
During the first lockdown, Timbaland & Swizz Beats decided to host a virtual DJ battle between two prominent artists or producers. This began on the 24th of March, 2020, as an Instagram live stream. Later on, Verzuz became a brand with an official logo, website, and social media accounts. The battles were no longer held on Instagram live but rather on Apple Music and Twitter. The combination of these platforms allowed viewers to watch the battle and simultaneously talk about it on Twitter.
In a statement released to Billboard magazine, Swizz Beats and Timbaland expressed their joy concerning the acquisition. They said it was a momentous occasion for bother Triller, Verzuz, and the entire music industry. They hope that by integrating Verzuz into Triller, both will continue to flourish and evolve over time. RADIOPUSHERS and MUZIQUE Magazine are reporting on this developing story.

Thicke wowed audiences around the country with his performance of “Lucky Star,” the album opener and a “vibrant breath of fresh air” (Soul In Stereo). Sitting down digitally with Clarkson, the two discussed Thicke’s nearly seven-year journey to this new music, as well as the vision supporting many of his songs, fatherhood, and the insane bank robbery that inspired “Oh Shooter” from A Beautiful World.
Thicke’s latest album, which he returns to with flair, funk, and his trademark soulful style, is his most transformative, life-altering chapter yet, with every track dedicated to those he loves both here and beyond.
“Ultimately, On Earth, and in Heaven showcases us the same Robin Thicke that we’ve always known, but with an extra level of caring—care for his craft, care for his public persona, care for his family and the things that he’s defined as important to him,” writes American Songwriter of the new music.
Robin Thicke’s music catalog has spawned multiple platinum singles and romantic anthems over the past decade. Robin Thicke’s angelic voice and soulful lyrics create a signature sound. Robin Thicke’s impact on R&B music is universally recognized inside the music industry. Robin Thicke’s music represents his diverse and complex childhood. Growing up inside a Hollywood household, Robin Thicke was born with stardom inside his bloodline. Watching his famous dad Alan Thicke on TV laid the foundation for his future success.
Succession from America has been in the talks behind closed doors and the United States may be down a state or two within the next 10 years. Lack of unity, lack of sanction and rise of socialism due to the pandemic the formula for change has been brewing consistently. Texas one of the few states openly looking to gain its independence once again due to what they feel to be insufficient governing by the U.S. officials and congress. With on going taxes and unrewarding returns, lack of response not only with the Covid-19 take over but even with recent weather anomalies that left millions with no heat, electric and running water. Some say the weather is the governments way of tactical warfare using the alleged “HARP” program others take it as a sign from the universe to push forward.
In the context of the United States, secession primarily refers to the voluntary withdrawal of one or more states from the Union that constitutes the United States; but may loosely refer to leaving a state or territory to form a separate territory or new state, or to the severing of an area from a city or county within a state. Texas’s governor proclaimed the state “100% OPEN,” and a chorus of Democratic mayors and big-name stores responded by defiantly reasserting their own mask mandates. Just five days before the governor’s announcement, the Round Rock City Council had unanimously voted to extend its mask mandate for an additional 60 days, declaring it will remain in place until at least April 29.
“A lot of businesses and enterprises and people are attracted to Texas for the low-cost, no income tax environment, and that has fueled the growth engine without a doubt,” said Steven Pedigo, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin who studies economic and urban development. “But on the flip side, you get what you pay for.”
The latest attempts from California and Oregon have been swept under the media rug but it is all due to simple conflict in interest between parties. Two sides who don’t agree on world and economic events, foreign conflict and other developments have forced the people to search for their own land to self govern. As we hope to move towards a post pandemic world, we have many issues to tackle as people realize we have to act radically to make things change rapidly. We have had civil war on our land before and many attempts by groups and states to gain independence, but none during such a time like this.
As the world awaits word on the next stimulus package, as states see that the value of the American dollar drop world wide but rise above the morals of men, the new world is realizing both sides are embracing change in their own way. As millennials lose faith in democracy and the flaws of our government show more and more, young people want less participation in things that don’t show results. With the gap of rich and poor steadily growing its seems a drastic change is at hand. We no longer plan for the future as a whole country, we seem to hold on to the past and breeze through the present. This is no longer the way and the people have had enough. So as we wait to see if the map as we know will be changing, lets continue to remain compassionate, positive and educated on current events. The survival of this nation is at the peak of warning signs, Americas 80 year cycle never fails. To put in perspective we have not been this in danger of a failing system since the civil war, the great depression after world war 2 and now Covid-19.
A new generation redefining what governing is while forcing the powers at hand, to make their next move the best step forward, for the American people and rest of the world. We learned once in 1930 will we relearn success in America?
