Arguably one of the most "in" rappers right now, Future brought his "Purple Reign Tour" to Boston Friday night with special guest Ty Dolla $ign. Last time in Boston a few years back, Future struggled to sell 1,000 tickets. Now with the success of DS2 and Evol, the Epic Records artist sold out the 2,000+ person House of Blues, never mind selling out every other date on the tour. Going through hit after hit with "F*ck Up Some Commas," "March Madness" and more, the "Purple Reign Tour" will go down as one of the most hype shows Boston has ever seen.

After an eventful Grammy's, the official after-party at the Los Angeles Convention Center was no disappointment. Featuring performances from Aloe Blacc, Thelma Houston, Arturo O'Farrill, and DJ Michelle Pesce on the main stage, the spacious arena allowed thousands of Grammy attendees to socialize after the main event, right across the street. The after-party included all kinds of entertainment aside from the performing artists, including jugglers, an orchestra, and an assortment of food. The 3 hour after-party was definitely a success, and the headlining performer, Aloe Blacc, put on a very memorable show for all guests.

Fetty Wap came to the House of Blues Boston Monday night for Monster Energy's Outbreak “Welcome to the Zoo Tour.” Even though the blizzard warnings echoed through local news stations, the crowds came out in large numbers to see the budding rap star who has hit after hit on his debut album Fetty Wap. Post Malone opened for Fetty and brought up the buzzing energy in the house. There was steady rhythm of excitement throughout the whole night due to the popularity of Fetty Wap that has only continued to grow. He did not disappoint and sang hits such as “Trap Queen,” “679,” and “Again” that brought every single concertgoer into a sing-a-long due to the radio-time popularity of Fetty Wap’s hits. The next time he comes through Boston, there is a high chance it will be at an arena-size venue due to his growing fanbase. Fetty Wap has featured on so many hit singles from other huge rap stars including KCAMP’s “1Hunnid;” the expectations for his future success is high, and if he continues like the beginning of his career, Fetty Wap will make a Drake-level name for himself.

Few artists have had the lengthy and satisfying come-up that Bay-area rapper G-Eazy has had. Playing small clubs in Boston years back with barely 100 people, the "Me, Myself & I" artist played a sold out arena (with special guest A$AP Ferg) Friday night in the Boston area for almost 7,000 screaming fans.

Concert Review: Mariah Carey Brings Holiday Cheer to Beacon Theater for Christmas Residency

Mariah Carey is a force to be reckoned with.  Not only has the vocal legend had multiple platinum albums and a famed residency in Vegas, but she also holds the title of "Christmas Queen." Her 1992 holiday album "Merry Christmas" featured the timeless classic, "All I Want For Christmas," which is now a holiday music staple. Carey held a firm grasp on her title of "Christmas Queen" at Saturday night's concert in the famous Beacon Theater in NYC, part of her 8-night "All I want for Christmas" concert series.

From the second Carey appeared on stage, the roaring crowd never fell silent. Addressing fans in the front of the audience, the "All I Want For Christmas" singer commented on how she recognized many of the faces of her avid fans, many of whom had traveled from as far away as China and Austrailia. Only music royalty like Mariah Carey could draw such a diverse audience from across the globe.

Adorned with a massive Christmas tree and a variety of Christmas decor, the stage was the perfect compliment to what was happening at the moment.  A group of dancing and singing children accompanied the platinum-selling artist for several of her songs, adding an extra layer of "cuteness" to the show. “What is your favorite part of Christmas?” Carey asked the kids before breaking out into her newer Christmas hit, “Oh Santa.”

Whether the Grammy winning songstress was singing an original or a remake of another holiday song, it didn’t seem to matter to the thousands in attendance. Carey sang her most well-known cover “Christmas Time (Baby Please Come Home),” along with others such as “Silent Night,” “Santa Clause is Coming To Town” and more, all with vocal perfection.

Closing out the show with the non-holiday songs, “Hero” and “Emotions,” Carey came back out for the encore that everyone was waiting for.  “All I Want For Christmas,” arguably one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time, closed out the end of a spectacular holiday concert!

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas” concert series runs through December 18th at New York’s Beacon Theater.
