Monday evening, we were treated to the Verzuz folks have been talking about since the idea came to be: Monica versus Brandy. It featured all of the shade and entertainment we expected, but what it mostly did was take everybody back to the the early-to-mid 90s. For many of us, those were our teen years and the musical jaunt down memory lane was a balm. This list is dedicated to songs from the staff’s teenage years. Shout outs to Monica and Brandy!
