MC Battle
Shock result caps electric night at Red Bull Batalla de los Gallos final
Spain's Bnet arrived in Madrid for the 2019 Red Bull Batalla de los Gallos International Final as a substitute for an MC who couldn't make it and left as the World Champion.
Bnet, aka Javier Bonet González, triumphed over Colombia's Valles-T with a rap style characterised by architectural metrics and paused rhythm.
An elated Bnet, 21, talked to us right after the competition: "I came as a substitute and left as a champion! Red Bull Batalla de los Gallos has always been the competition on top of everyone's mind from the beginning. When there was no freestyle, Red Bull was the only thing. Red Bull was everything."
