This young madrid-born 20-year maintains a philosophy calm and focused on your goal: win without getting lost along the way. “I'd rather lose going to taste that win without me like what I have done,” says rotundo while drinking a can of Red Bull at the headquarters of the brand in Madrid. However, it is very aware that the challenge is greater at this time “because it assumes that are all the champions of all countries. At the end you are representing all the participants of the national. I also in the international do not owe anything to anyone but me, but that you are with the responsibility of representing the local scene in another environment”.

Aczino by Mexico (International champion 2017), Wos from Argentina (runner-up to 2017) and Arkano on the part of Spain (third in the end of 2017 and a member of the jury at the national this year) are the three classified direct of the previous year, and the maximum match for the rest of the participants. “All the competitions that I'm going, I don't care who I touch. It gives Me the same Aczino, to me I'm not afraid of anyone”, without underestimate their rivals, Bnet is clear that to get to the end you have to be able to win any of the 15 competitors that are put forward: “That I get when they want to, if I have to choose I'll see at the time what I do, but without the fear of none, and if at first I have to pick a favorite because it's lame, I don't care”.

In the competition that organizes Red Bull 16 MC of Latin America and Spain will face off in freestyle. “A little before the start we explain what are going to be the dynamic and formats. I guess, as they have been in Spain and in the rest of countries, the pairings will be by random draw,” explains Bnet. Before the competition, take them out, one by one, the names of the participants of a bag and are placed in the quadrant that brand couples that start of the final round. This is what little I know the participants of ilbet a competition where the premium for the originality and the force in the improvisation of rhymes.

“I know that if I am at 100%, as I said before the national, I win”. This young man will not be achanta to anyone and claims that he has not changed his routine in the face of competition. You do not have a fixed schedule of training, but the rap is part of your day-to-day. With friends, at home alone, on the subway or walking down the street the rhymes don't stop ringing in his head. Bnet train almost without wanting to. Started rapping only three years ago “by pure love to this and by taste,” he says. Now, he combines freestyle with a higher degree of distance learning in Retail Management, and Commercial Spaces. The rap “today, it is feasible for a very small minority. But this depends on the evolution that has from here to the next few years,” explains the MC.

A victory unexpected

Just a week after winning the national, Bnet confesses that continues to adapt to the boom in social networks,” and to that I stand more by the street, and admits to feeling “a little confusing”. LGBTI rights, feminism or anti-racism were some of the topics to defend in the final round, a round that was marked by the removal of Blon, one of the favorites, at the hands of Errecé. It also marked prior to the semis, the elimination of this last, this time on account of the rhymes of Bnet and before the disagreement visible Errecé. “I think that was a battle called, the truth,” said Bnet, “but after, with the theme, yes I'm a little over the top. The personal interpretation can do much in this battle, but in my opinion it was a fair result”.

Force secured the end with clarity, but the surprise came with the fall of Walls, another big favorite, against Bnet. The young man has a very personal style, in that it gives equal importance to the last bar, “which is the phrase of the idea, the joke that is called, as the way in which you get to him, because in the end, this comes out of rap and rap is just that, to give the message in all the bars,” she said. A factor, he said, that makes you stand out from the rest when “a priori was not one of the options more workable”. “People didn't gamble much for me,” he acknowledged.
