The legendary B2K, a platinum-selling, BET Award-winning R&B powerhouse, will take center stage against fellow hitmakers Pretty Ricky in one of the year’s most highly anticipated battles.

Streaming live on Apple Music and Complex, this 20-round showdown will celebrate two of the most influential R&B groups of the 2000s. Known for their chart-topping hits, sold-out tours, and dedicated fan bases, both groups helped shape an era of music and culture that continues to resonate today.

This event also marks a significant milestone in B2K’s eagerly awaited return to the music scene. During the broadcast, B2K will debut an exclusive first listen of their new single, “Mileage,” marking their first new music in over two decades. Released through BPC Music Group, “Mileage” signals a new chapter for the group, while still delivering the signature hits and chemistry that made B2K one of the best-selling R&B acts of their generation.

Fans can look forward to the single’s official release across all major streaming platforms on Friday, July 17.
