We don't know the exact date of the international competition (a competition with Spain and South America) of Redbull "Batalla de los Gallos" (the literal traduction will be "The battle of Roosters") but we know that Arkano will participate. In 2014, 2015 and 2016 the international champions were all Spanish, maybe Arkano will enter in this streak of Spanish champions.

Conclusion

I think we should have more rappers of this kind; Arkano is responsable and he knows that he has a youth audience so he can't say what we usually heard in rap songs who are innapropriate for young people. He recently post a song on Youtube called ''Único'' for announce his new album. He say that he want to change society and break all the bias on the homosexuals. He

really encourages teenagers to accept their sexuality and body and don't let people change what you are. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9sOpsNGtUkQ/maxresdefault.jpg
