Batalha do Neuronio

Batalha do Neurônio is a cultural collective and an example of a Rap battle event that occurs in Brasília, where rappers must freestyle about topics and themes provided by the audience.

In addition to being a cultural leisure option for the youth, rap battles contribute to disseminating debates on essential topics, such as sustainability, citizenship, social responsibility, racism, homophobia, prejudice, among others.

[3][4] Batalha do Neurônio was created in 2012 by Emtee Beats (Marco Terada) and MC Zen (Gerson Macedo) at Vila Planalto, Brasília.

Initially, the Batalha do Neurônio event was known as Raciocínio RAPido and it was the first rap battle to use topics and themes in the freestyle sessions that occur in Brasília.

In the knowledge (battle model idealized in Rio de Janeiro by MC Marechal) the rapper rhymes about themes provided by the audience itself, taking into account topics that the spectators may suggest.

[12][13] During this period, three editions of Rap Solidarity were organized, which is a non-profit, charity event, with the aim of collecting food and clothing for public day care centers located in needy communities in the Federal District and surroundings.

There is also a partnership with the Spread Words project, which aims to access and disseminate literature and poetry, and donations of books and comics were made at these locations.
