AdonYS Takes the Top Prize at Red Bull Batalla’s New York Regional Qualifier


Freestyler AdonYS won the Red Bull Batalla regional qualifier in New York City on Saturday (July 13). Get all the details.

The event highlighted the exceptional talent gathered from across the country, with 16 aspiring Latin MCs — including 4ases, Eckonn, El Dømi, La Eminencia, Zkart, Kingkique and others — battling through incendiary rounds. The battles were adjudicated by a panel of three judges: rappers El Dilema, Snow Qlq and Latin Grammy nominee J Noa, the latter of whom the audience got to see in action on the mic at the close of the Batalla night. With each passing year, Red Bull Batalla continues to establish itself as a cultural phenomenon, pushing the boundaries of freestyle rap and showcasing the talent that Spanish-speaking communities harbor.
