RED BULL BATALLA PRESENTS:

SPANISH FREESTYLE TAKES OVER BROOKLYN

Red Bull Batalla is celebrating 20 years in the birthplace of hip-hop, NYC. Next Friday, the U.S. National Final hits Brooklyn Steel, bringing together 16 of the nation’s best Spanish-language MCs for a high-energy lyrical battle.

Each competitor must freestyle on the spot, dropping clever wordplay, sharp punchlines, and cultural references that bring the crowd to life. Plus, a special performance by Lismar. At stake? The crown, and a chance to represent the USA at the International Final in Chile.

Want in? We’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs.*
