Mr. Sweety G Set to Drop New EP “At The Place To Be”

Mr. Sweety G, also known as Dr. Glenn Toby, is a legendary figure in the music industry, a pioneer whose influence spans the golden era of hip-hop and the evolution of house music. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens, he emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, shaping the sound and culture of hip-hop alongside some of the most iconic artists of all time. 

With deep roots in the movement that birthed a global phenomenon, Sweety G worked with Doug E. Fresh, Biz Markie, Kool Moe Dee & The Treacherous 3, The Crash Crew, Boogie Boys, Cipher Sounds, Disco Twins, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Kurtis Blow, and Run D.M.C. His contributions helped define the rhythm, energy, and authenticity of hip hop’s early years.

As an artist, Sweety G’s rapid-fire flow, melodic delivery, and charismatic stage presence set him apart in an era of raw lyricism and innovation. Performing at legendary venues like Harlem World, he carved out a reputation as one of the scene’s most dynamic performers. Managed by Mike and Dave Productions, his journey was one of relentless ambition and artistic brilliance.

But Sweety G’s story is more than music. It’s a testament to resilience. From experiencing homelessness to managing the careers of superstar entertainers and athletes, to penning powerful hit records, his life is a symphony of struggle and success. 

His influence didn’t stop in the early days. He has collaborated with hip hop greats such as Chuck D, Ice-T, Treach of Naughty By Nature, and Saigon, producing music that continues to resonate across generations. 

In a culture often obsessed with fleeting fame, Mr. Sweety G remains a symbol of authenticity, longevity, and the soul of hip-hop, a true innovator whose rhythm extends far beyond the music, into the very fabric of culture itself.

Look out for Mr. Sweety G’s new EP, “At The Place To Be”, set to drop June 20th and make sure you pre-save it now.

Last BeNeVoLeNcE, OnTheRox, and Murphles return to continue delivering the lush jazz-hop and lo-fi textures characteristic of the original. The Mo-Fi Collective weaves thought-provoking and witty lyricism into every beat produced entirely by Last BeNeVoLeNcE.
