THE DUMB TOUR! isn’t just a concert run — it’s a statement. Rising dark pop and alt-pop force EMM (EMM in Real Life) is taking her album BLACK DIAMOND on the road, and she’s doing it loud, fearless, and unapologetic. Stretching across North America through 2025 and into 2026, the tour promises a collision of raw emotion, razor-sharp vocals, and striking visual intensity. This is the kind of show that doesn’t ask for your attention — it demands it.

Don’t let the acoustic guitars fool you—Country music is a high-stakes business, and the Grabba Man knows how to play the field. We’re bringing that raw, urban execution to the country stage, using our production space to demo hits that bridge the gap between the farm and the city. While the stars are in the spotlight, I’m looking for the "bridge" artists, the ones like Nobu Woods who can cross genres and pull in a fan base that votes with their wallets.

The city is buzzing with anticipation as Washington, DC’s own Shy Glizzy is officially set to take the stage at the legendary Howard Theatre. Known for his raw storytelling, melodic hooks, and unmistakable DMV energy, the platinum-selling artist’s return to such an iconic venue feels personal—like a hometown victory lap. DJ Say Say will be Djing the whole night and after party. Grabba Talks will be in the building doing interviews and taking pictures. Fans are already counting down, knowing this isn’t just another show, but a moment rooted in culture, history, and pride.

R&B is all about the feeling, but the feeling doesn't pay the light bill in a million-dollar production space. I’ve spent late nights watching the "Neuphoria" happen in real-time while calculating the licensing potential of a single vocal run. If you want to move in the R&B space around here, you need to be tapped into what Dior Brown is doing with the DC Music Summit

You see the chain, you see the car, and you hear the 808s thumping, but you don't always see the hand that balanced the scale. In this game, the "Grabba Man" is the one ensuring the production space is primed and the paperwork is as tight as a snare. The tru vets If you’re moving in the DMV, you better know the name Angie M. Gates over at Events DC—she’s the one holding the keys to the major venues where the real revenue lives. I’m the silent force bridging the gap between a demo and a meeting with someone like Lawrence Hamm to ensure our talent gets the business development they deserve.
