Abstract

The investigation highlights the performance of the space circuit of the Freestyle Battles (the RAP improvised rhyme disputes) and its organizations in Mexico City, such as that of the Liga Venom collective. By simplifying organizational experiences that challenge the dominant order of the corporate metropolis, these agents can challenge socio-spatial segregation. The creation and distribution of information through ICT, which opens doors to the creation of new forms and content for space, is partly responsible for this resistance. However, the agents linked to the battles of MCs (Master of Ceremonies) in Mexico City, when it becomes evident, predominate as a synchronized polyphonic chorus resulting from the idea of belonging between producer-consumer agents who have synthesized RAP in your lifestyle.
