Red Bull invited me to Miami to go to their Spanish-language freestyle competition: Batalla. Whilst there at the US National Remaining, we sat down with freestylers El Poeta, Macías, Adonys, and Jordi and asked them for a quick freestyle centered on their preferred foodstuff dish.

Franciso Javier Alberto Macías has been rapping due to the fact the age of nine! Quick forward some years, he has considering the fact that received beatboxing competitions and most just lately positioned next at Crimson Bull Batalla’s 2022 LA qualifier. Macías at present resides in Colorado Springs, CO.
This is a line from his freestyle:

Off camera, it was great to study that not only was Macías anticipating a little one, but he is also a full-time youth pastor.

Jordi was born in the US, but later on moved to Torreón, Mexico when he was two. Now back again in the US, he resides in Eagle Lake, Texas — he recently gained the Dallas Regional Cup!

I remember Jordi pacing again and forth before his sit-down with me. I found him training his hand gestures as he freestyled among himself as he waited.
3.
Miguel Adonys Gomera was born in the Dominican Republic and later raised in Lengthy Island, NY. Adonys found Crimson Bull Batalla at the age of 13 but has been passionate about the arts for as lengthy as he can don’t forget. It wasn’t until finally 2021 that he initially used to Red Bull Batalla, the place he then went on to make it to the best sixteen.
Of all the MCs I achieved the weekend of Batalla, there was an power to Adonys contrary to no one particular else. He experienced a calmness to him that you would be shocked, sat a tough-doing the job educated guy with a vocabulary possible larger sized than yours and mine.

Born in Mexico but now residing in Phoenix, AZ, Victor Fabian Lopez Leon, if not recognised as El Poeta, has been rapping since the age of 16! Identified for his gritty, highly effective voice and brutal alternative of phrases, the MC recently received the 2022 Dallas qualifier.
El Poeta!! Dude, the encounter of being on a party bus driving by Miami as this guy freestyled for all of us to listen to will Never depart my brain. His voice, his starvation to be his greatest self, his politeness…love you, bro!
Hear him conclude our collection of sit-downs with this hearth outro.

At the stop of their interviews, the boys stuck all around for an impromptu freestyle…once more about food items! Additionally, Macías killed it with the beatboxing abilities.

Unfortunately, our boys didn’t get the competition but out of all the 16 Spanish-language freestylers that competed at Red Bull Batalla’s US Nationwide Closing, 19-12 months-previous Florida resident, OneR, came out on prime. It was a evening of electrifying power and rigid competitors among the 1,000-plus attendees of the event.

“I’ve been a supporter of Crimson Bull Batalla due to the fact I was 13 several years previous. I was an alternate at the LA Qualifier and right here I am. I think I bought this significantly for the reason that I stayed hyper-focused on the objective to gain and hardly ever gave up. I’m just content to signify Florida and the United states.” —OneR
With OneR’s victory, Crimson Bull Batalla now enters Planet Last territory. December 10, in Mexico Town, will be the conclusion to the lengthy journey of the nine champions representing Colombia, Peru, Spain, Mexico, and Argentina.
