The countdown begins to enjoy one of the most anticipated freestyle events of the year. On November 30, the WiZink Center in Madrid will host the best freestylers in the world at the Red Bull Batalla 2024 International Finalwho will name the champion of an entire planet.
There are 16 participants who will take the stage of the capital's old Sports Palace to let their imagination fly and delight us with their improvised rhymes. one of them is Chutywho is the current world champion, who also earned a direct pass to this year's International.
The man from Madrid has become a legend within this mental sport that every year allows us to meet new talents. In the case of Chuty, has made it clear to WECB Urban that the pressure will not be present this Saturday and that he plans to enjoy every minute he spends with his teammates. He assures that by playing at home this year, he has a great advantage regarding “schedules, heights and jargon.” “A priori, this type of thing doesn't have to work against me and gives me extra peace of mind,” Urban tells WECB.

What will Chuty do if he wins and what will Chuty do if he loses? His answer may displease more than one person, but the man from Madrid has been clear and forceful. “If I win, then I will defend a title again. If I lose, I suppose it will be the end of my stage at Red Bull because I don't see myself returning to regionals”confesses the three-time national champion. But he is also clear that his work in the world of freestyle would not end definitively if he is defeated at WiZink this Saturday. “I think I still have to contribute a lot to continue professionalizing the industry as much as possible. (…) I think that now there is much more of a search for virality and trying to stand out by character. Before, the characters were given and we sought to give a good fight over visits,” he explains.
Looking back, Sergio would have “nothing to say” to the shy, but strong-willed Chuty, who faced his first battles in 2008 at the Parque Tierno Galván in Madrid. “Just keep doing what you do, it's going to do well for you,” he declares in an interview with WECB Urban.
Chuty and Sergio; Sergio and Chuty. Their talent is undeniable, as is their passion for music. In this case, your recommendation is very clear. “Listening to everything, locking yourself into a single genre limits your hearing and the more you open up, the better. I mean, listen to Estopa“he concludes.
The countdown begins to find out which Chuty we will meet in a long-awaited International in which he will face many other great beasts of improvisation. Names like Gazir, Mecha and Valles-T have also made history.
