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.

As it stands with the U.S. qualifier events behind us, only 11 of the 16 competitor slots are filled for the Miami National Final. Confirmed MCs thus far include last year’s National Final runner- up, Zazowan, Miami’s own Colombian firespitter Nico B, lyrical powerhouse and New York City regional champion AdonYS, Mexican veteran Jordi and more. Ensuring that the top MCs from every pocket of the country have a chance at the national title, to fill the remaining six slots, Red Bull Batalla in conjunction with local freestyle leagues, will host a series of regional cups in Los Angeles on 8/3 (La Liga De La Calle), Houston on 8/10 (Liga Masacure), Miami on 8/31 (Miami Freestyle League) and Chicago also on 8/31 (Midwest Freestyle & Lexico Battles) before a Ultimo Cupo battle on 9/14 in Atlanta to confirm the elusive last MC spot.
