Event First Avenue hosts Red Bull Big Tune

September 1, 2009 - 10:44 am

Red Bull Big Tune Winner Nicademus

First Avenue hosted the first Red Bull Big Tune to take place in Minneapolis.   More than 400 people flocked to First Avenue to hear these Minnesotan producers battle it out.  One participating producer was a repeat contender….he competed in Chicago last month! Unfortunately, he lost in the first round.

Home of Rhymesayers Records, a new generation of Minnesotans are becoming entranced by the sounds of Freeway, the featured artist of the evening.  The crowd went wild when Freeway started performing and adding the “Red Bull” touch even further,  Brother Ali joined him on stage and brought the house down.

An unusually mean crowd (Minnesotans are usually so nice….) they picked their favorite from the beginning and booed away the competition until only Nicademus was left standing.
