Photo Highlights from the First Red Bull Culture Clash in Atlanta

Red Bull Culture Clash proudly presented its first installment in Atlanta on August 25, 2017, assembling the city’s front-running soundsystems for an epic battle between crews and their competing crowds, each with a different sound, style and strength.

There were special guests galore (Ludacris and Pusha-T, to name just two), but at the core of the Culture Clash were four teams, each competing over four rounds and utilizing their biggest tunes, freshly cut dubs, raucous performances and other surprises to win over the crowd and walk away as champion. First up was EarDrummers, featuring head honcho and Academy lecturer Mike Will Made-It, presenting their beat wizardry. Next up on the lineup was Disturbing London, run by their figurehead Tinie Tempah. Rounding out the teams were the Enjoylife posse, with their moving artistry led by WondaGurl, and the Jamaican dancehall crew Unruly, who emerged from the Culture Clash victorious despite a last-minute cancellation by their leader, Popcaan.

Our time in Atlanta also included a week of live broadcasts by Red Bull Radio, with both Peak Time and the local Awful Records crew hosting daily shows highlighting some of the city's best and brightest. And of course, the entirety of the main event was broadcast live on the radio, with expert commentary provided by Max Glazer and Sir Foster.
