From the streets to the Music Box Village in the Bywater, four fantastic brass bands showed up to see who is the true King of Brass. Kings of Brass, Big 6 Brass Band, Sporty's, and Young Pinstripe Brass Band were chosen for Red Bull's showdown, and they had local rappers Treety, Alfred Banks, Stone Cold Jzzle, and $leazyEZ helping them out on the microphone. The competition never had a dull moment as surprise performances by a rapping Mardi Gras Indian and Zulu paraders filled in the time between the band's songs.

So who was crowned Street Kings? Of course it was the Kings of Brass!
