Thursday night here in Atlanta, Red Bull sponsored a brand new, unique event. 10 MC’s were invited to compete. Contestants were flown in from out of state to broaden the field. The idea? Have an MC competition based in freestyle that wasn’t a battle. Pushing the creative envelope in this genre, Red Bull put on a stellar event at the Masquerade in Atlanta to an overflowing capacity crowd of 1000 people.
The contestants were shown flashes of images on the many screens around the stage, then were challenged to freestyle and touch on those images. Judged by Adeem, Talib Kweli and 9th Wonder, the event was a big success.
At the end of the night, Manchild walked away with the title, $1000 in prize money and a day in the studio with 9th Wonder later this year.
Thankful for the opportunity.
peace,
MC
