RED BULL BATALLA REVEALS DETAILS FOR 2024 U.S. SEASON FINALE – THE NATIONAL FINAL ON OCTOBER 12 IN MIAMI
WORLD’S LARGEST SPANISH-LANGUAGE RAP BATTLE BRINGS 16 OF THE COUNTRY’S BEST MCs TO FACTORY TOWN MIAMI
Today, Red Bull Batalla, the world’s largest Spanish-language freestyle competition, is excited to announce details for the upcoming U.S. National Final taking place Saturday, October 12 in Miami. Tickets for the event are on sale now at redbull.com/batallausa.
16 of the top freestylers from across the country will take center stage at the sprawling Factory Town Miami for a highly anticipated event that will challenge their lyricism, speed, creativity and stage presence in head-to-head knockout rounds until only one MC remains. The winner that clinches the title of 2024 National Champion will advance to the world’s largest stage for freestyle rap at the Red Bull Batalla International Final hosted in Madrid, Spain this November.
All the action will be judged by a panel of freestyle experts including Venezuelan legend and 6x Latin Grammy nominated artist, Akapellah, alongside 2x Red Bull Batalla National Champion Reverse, Snow QLQ, Dilema and more to be announced. The event will be hosted by Racso White Lion with beats by resident DJ Cesar.
The 2024 Red Bull Batalla season kicked-off with a global application phase that saw nearly 8,000 entries, followed by U.S. qualifier competitions in San Antonio and Brooklyn, the latter being Red Bull Batalla’s first-ever titled event in the Empire State.
All eyes now shift to Magic City and October 12th as the biggest night in the U.S. for freestyle battle rap. Florida has been a long-simmering hotbed of talent, and the freestyle rap scene is now on fire. For the past three years, the Red Bull Batalla U.S. championship trophy has been won by a resident of the state with the groundbreaking wins of Oner and the reigning champ Reverse who, after his win last year, became a Red Bull Batalla U.S. double champion, a feat previously only held by Puerto Rican MC, Yartzi.
