Profile
19-year-old Gibrahimer Beomont aka LIL G is proud to represent Venezuela for a 2nd consecutive year in the RED BULL BC ONE. He explains, I am happy because they have given me another opportunity to show what I really am as a B-Boy!

LIL G began B-Boying in 2001, at the age of 11. He was inspired to learn the dance after he first saw Venezuelan B-Boys Shadow and Cannon perform. Soon Shadow became his mentor, not only teaching him to B-Boy but also the history and philosophy of the dance. Initially LIL G joined the Shining Shadow crew but later got down with the Speedy Angels. Since he was so little when he started dancing, he was naturally given the name LIL G. When he traveled with his crew, they presented themselves as his legal family, since he was underage and not permitted to travel alone.

While not initially enthused about his non-traditional career choice to be a professional B-Boy, LIL Gs family members were eventually won over as they realized the time, energy and passion that he dedicated to the art. Today, they are very proud of him and respect him for his achievements.

Power moves, style, flavor and rhythm are LIL Gs main focus when dancing. He is known for his original power moves and unique transitions. He describes his battle strategy, First be smart. Then go and bring the other B-Boy into your game! His own rules for conduct while battling include never yelling at or hitting his opponent, never biting the moves of other dancers and not getting in the middle of another B-Boys set when its not his turn.

The exchange of cultures, styles and knowledge at B-Boy battles is something LIL G enjoys the most. He considers everything that hes doing and has been through as highlights in his career including training, battling, performing and learning from other B-Boys in his crew. B-Boy Storm from Germany and Salah from France are his greatest influences. LIL G feels, They live and fight for the love of B-Boying.

B-Boying is LIL Gs job. He performs regularly with his crew, Speedy Angels in half time shows at sports events, teaches B-Boy classes and judges battles. He has also appeared in commercials. Going back to school to study language is something that he would love to do one day.

The Hip Hop scene in South America is still developing, but in Venezuela it is already pretty strong. There is a lot of graffiti and many rappers are stepping into the scene. There are also parties and underground battles every once a while. The battles are called Underground Battles because in Venezuela B-Boy battles are organized by B-Boys or crews without any support from sponsors or government. They are promoted mouth to mouth. A fee is collected from the participating B-Boys or crews and from this money, the expenses and the prize money are covered. Unfortunately that doesnt usually work well because not enough money is collected, but still there is always somebody willing to take the risk.

LIL G is honored to have competed in last years RED BULL BC ONE which took place in Paris and was even more excited that the battle aired on MTV! In 2008, he was paired up against Taisuke in the first round and lost while his opponent battled his way through to take 2nd place. To his competitors in this years battle, he affirms, In the battle, you will see who is the winner!

He trusts that the judges will be fair, professional, evaluate each dancer well, not show favoritism and select the real winner. He is so excited that the battle will take place this year in New York City, where he never thought he would he would visit. He exclaims, I want to enjoy the experience so much!

This is my life! My dream! I want to leave something for future bboys and the culture, to be respected in the world as a B-Boy and as a human, to die being happy with what I did, and to leave my children to make their dreams come true. Like me! - Lil G
