Did You Miss It? Ne-Yo & Johnta Austin Go Head-to-Head in Live Songwriter Battle

Published: Monday 30th Mar 2020 by Rashad

The wake of social distancing has encouraged a number of recording artists to take to social media to showcase their talents and brigade of hits via virtual concerts.

As the acts getting in on that gig increases, so is the number of behind-the-scenes craftsmen doing the same – but upping the ante to a friendly competitive manner.  Over the past couple of days music lovers have been treated to the likes of Hitboy vs. Boi-1da, Sean Garrett vs. The Dream (as we reported here), and more of Urban music’s biggest producers battling for the public to judge who has the best catalog.

The latest to step into the digital ring to duke it out? Ne-Yo vs. Johnta Austin. More inside:

    I gotta give it to Johnta juuuust by a little.
    I think Ne-Yo overdid it w his songs haha

    • Soooo Tru March 30, 2020

      My thoughts exactly. Y so many of your songs and most that weren’t big hits?! Lol

      Other NeYo Options:
      LeToya Luckett- Not Anymore (ladies love that)
      Rihanna- Hate That I Love You
      50 Cent- Baby By Me
      Keri Hilson- Pretty Girl Rock

    These men have written, and some cases co-written some great songs that have defined pop music.

  3. ??‍♀️Jazzy Da Bi Asian ??‍♀️Not ? TROLLmine ??‍♀️Nor ? TRASHmine March 30, 2020

    The fact that Johnta has We Belong Together, Dont forget about us and Shake It Off under his belt speaks volumes to the legendary songwriting these two share between them. Good battle guys.
