Internacional Red Bull Batalla is a freestyle rap battle held annually since 2005 between the best improvisers of Hispanic hip-hop. In a new article, Streams Charts will tell you about the results and viewership statistics of the 16th event in the series, which ended last weekend.
The participants of the Final Internacional 2022 Red Bull Batalla were the top 16 improvisers from Latin America and Spain, 12 of whom were selected based on qualification results. Another four — Aczino, Skone, Gazir and Rapder — received a direct invitation to the event, as they took 1-4 places respectively in last year's freestyle battle.
It is interesting that all of last year's winners, with the exception of Skone, were in the Top 4 of this year's event as well. In the decisive battle, Aczino defeated Gazir and became the first three-time champion of the series. It should be noted that the Mexican rapper had previously won International Red Bull in 2017 and 2021.
