"New York, the birthplace of hip hop and rap, finally saw the Red Bull Batalla happening in Brooklyn for the first time since the competition began. It's been a long 20 years for New Yorkers who wish to see these battles happen in real life rather than on TV, and Friday, Sept. 26, did not disappoint whatsoever. A total of 16 MCs rapped their lives away in a chance to join other finalists in Chile."
"Seeing all of the MCs freestyle and become animated and full of energy will definitely have you thinking if they consumed a Red Bull right before they got into their flow. The show started at eight in the evening and ran until 12 a.m. A pre-show hosted by KGPonce and El Dilema interviewed some of the competitors before and during the breaks of the show. Reverse holds his trophy above his head as the champion of Batalla on September 26, 2025 in Brooklyn, USA."

Sixteen MCs competed for a spot at the World Final in Chile, navigating themed rounds and props while delivering high-energy freestyles. The show ran from 8 p.m. to midnight with a pre-show hosted by KGPonce and El Dilema. Sayonara and Rasco White Lion kept the crowd engaged and competitors waved flags representing origins from Argentina to the Dominican Republic. Judges included Tito Yang, Jay-Co, and Freites, who also performed near the finale. Reverse won the competition. Desnivela was the only woman MC to reach the finals.
