Wed (10/18) – Months of plotting and planning resulted in another legendary Red Bull event in NYC. This time it was Red Bull BC One, our global b-boy competition, which took place at Hammerstein Ballroom and sold out in 53 minutes. The 16 b-boys from around the world did not disappoint, nor did host and after party performer, KRS One, or Talib Kweli who also threw down.
A new chapter was written in the birthplace of Hip Hop, New York City. Red Bull BC One shook iconic music venue, Hammerstein ballroom, to its core. Sixteen b-boys from eleven countries battled with pride in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 1,600 enthusiastic fans. French b-boy Lilou took home the honor of being "The One" for the second time, a first in Red Bull BC One's six year history. It was no easy task for Lilou, as all the night's competitors put their best foot forward or "up". He defeated USA's Cloud, who had a comeback after a four-year hiatus touring with Madonna, in a three-round intense finals face-off. In the end, Lilou’s character, style and confidence prevailed. The night featured performances by the original b-boys Rock Steady Crew, Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek, as well as Hip-Hop’s "Teacha” KRS One.
