Django talked about how difficult it was for MCs to make a living from concerts and that, for that reason, the FMC deciding to hold the first season in early 2021 was a blessing. “It’s been tough and difficult, but if we’re here we have to take advantage of it.”

-How is this second edition of the competition being experienced?

“The battles are being better this season. There is no longer a defined favorite and that makes it better, there are more expectations,” Django confessed to El Comercio, showing himself positive about this new season.

I no longer focus on the format, but on saying the first thing I think” The former known as New Era states that he is going through a key personal construction process, from the change of his artistic name to his form of the way in which he expresses his ideas in battle.

Jota also holds a similar idea. “I just try to go have fun, have a good time, give my best”, said the second place in the standings to date, who on this fourth day will have to face Nekross again, after having beaten him in the edition passed amid criticism from some fans, who said that he only won because of the “friendship” he had with his opponent.

Vijay, for his part, was not exempt from controversy either, since the previous day he criticized a participant for going to “have fun” in the foreign competitions and not taking it seriously. “I made him see reason so that he realized that he could do much more than have fun,” answered the freestyler who will coincidentally make his debut at the FMS Internacional 2022. “I think I’m going to do my best, I’m going one hundred percent and leave even the soul on stage”.

musical projects

Finally they talked about their independent musical projects, beyond freestyle competitions.

I am putting full effort into it as I have never put into any of my songs, ”he said, affirming that it was produced by himself together with his producer. “I’ve been studying music theory, learning to play the piano, making instrumentals to do everything alone,” he concluded by saying that this project excites him and he hopes it will be well received.

Jota also has his own way, and he maintained that the music he produces aims to make people “have fun, free themselves and not be sad.” “I brought out a song that people received very well called” Pa lante “, it was well received by children, young people, adults,” he mentioned with emotion. Although for him, the creative process is simpler. “I look for beats, if I like the beat I make it a theme”, he said summarizing his career as a composer.
