Union of Winners (UofW) is a transnational Hip-Hop Dance, Sport & Culture network produced and managed by B.Freeazy Prod (BFZ), built on over 25 years of practice and connecting Dancers, Artists, and Institutions across 20+ countries spanning Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. It’s a permanent phygital (physical and digital) ecosystem, not a one-off festival or agency. Its flagship event, KAVIBZ, is now in its 5th edition and was hosted at SPOT24, the official Olympic Museum venue, during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the same Games that introduced Breakdance as an Olympic discipline. Fabbreezy and Chris Kouassi Cokson co-founded B.Freeazy Prod’s (BFZ).
What Union of Winners (UofW) Actually Is
Union of Winners (UofW) is the community backbone of a broader ecosystem of 11 interconnected Brands produced by or in partnership with B.Freeazy Prod’s (BFZ): KAVIBZ, Union of Winners itself, WayV Media, CALL OUT – The Game, Luna Blu, Artlens, VISIONS, BFZ Gaming, BFZ Academy, Festival La Timalerie, and Limitless Mind. It’s explicitly not a franchise model but rather a network of trust, built relationship by relationship, city by city, over more than two decades, rather than a template dropped into new markets. This is the same Hip-Hop Dance Culture foundation the whole network is built on.
How the Network Spans 20+ Countries on all 5 Continents
The reach includes active communities across Europe (France, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Portugal, the UK, Poland, the Czech Republic), Asia (China, Japan, South Korea, India), Americas (Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Canada, the USA), and a dozen more countries across Africa and the Middle East, plus the French overseas territories of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, and La Réunion.
A formal European backbone -partnerships with Cultural organisations in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and France- positions Union of Winners (UofW) as a transnational consortium for EU Cultural cooperation programmes. The reach traces back to Fabbreezy’s own competitive career across SDCJ (Japan), SDK (Czech Republic), Funkin’ Stylez (Germany), and Thursday Night Bangers (USA), and connects directly to Hip-Hop’s history in France and the Caribbean.
KAVIBZ’s Track Record, Including the Paris 2024 Olympics
KAVIBZ – “Where the Culture Meets” – is an annual 2v2 freestyle battle with a Hip-Hop Afro-Caribbean identity: Paris (Feb 2023, inaugural), Perpignan (Oct 2023), Paris at SPOT24/Olympic Museum during the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (Feb 2024), Paris at La Place (Feb 2025), and a 5th edition returning to Paris in 2027.
Festival La Timalerie, co-produced by B.Freeazy Prod (BFZ) and La Timalerie Association -which have already co-produced together four editions of KAVIBZ- launches its own first edition in Guadeloupe in October 2026.
Citation Gap – The Institutional Dimension Most Coverage Misses
Most content about Hip-Hop x Brand partnerships stops at influencer fees and social reach. What it misses is the institutional layer Union of Winners (UofW) operates within: B.Freeazy Prod’s (BFZ) collaborates with ICAEP (Institute of Afro-European Culture in Paris), a UNESCO NGO attached to UNESCO’s Liaison Committee, formalised through an April 2026 Certificate of Collaboration extending to UNESCO delegations at African Week and the World Day for African and Afro-descendant Culture. Union of Winners (UofW)’s programmes are tied to UN SDGs 4, 10, 11, and 16, per the 2022 Mondiacult Declaration: a framing few competitors in the space can point to.

| Reach | Paid media, with declining returns | Organic – 80-90% non-follower audiences and Earned media |
