For the first time since 2013, the Red Bull Batalla de los Gallos International Final is heading to Argentina, where, on December 9, 16 freestyle rappers from 13 different Spanish-speaking countries will serve up their fiercest and most entertaining rhymes in the hope of taking the title belt.
After winning regional and national finals in their own countries, these lyrical improvisers will be hoping to out-rap 2017's champion Aczino, and runners-up Wos and Arkano. To do that, those freestyling finalists will need to flow fiercely and imaginatively to big themselves up and put down their battle rivals.
If you want to know what kind of word wizardry these Spanish-speaking rappers will be deploying, or if you just want to arm yourself with some killer rap-battle insults in another language, watch our special freestyle lessons below.
Listen out for lyrical upper-punches when Red Bull TV live streams the Red Bull Batalla de los Gallos International Final on December 9 from 6pm ART/ 9pm GMT/ 10pm CET.
