Come catch me out on the road!!! For all official ticket information visit MatthewWhitaker.net. #MatthewWhitakerMusic

Harlem made its way to D.C. as @apollotheater and @howardtheatre came together for a legendary night of music, legacy, and stars at Best of The Apollo‼️

The stage pulsed with energy as icons returned and a new generation of artists carried the culture forward. From the highly anticipated return of @Clipse (@malice & @pushaT), performing music from their 2025 comeback album Let God Sort Em Out produced by Pharrell Williams, to the masterful musicianship of Grammy-winning virtuoso and former Amateur Night champion @MatthewWhitakerOfficial, every moment reflected the enduring power of Black artistry.

The night also celebrated the next wave of Apollo stars. @we_ani, an #AmateurNightApollo alum, captivated the audience with commanding vocals and undeniable presence, while @GabbySamoneMusic returned to the Apollo fam spotlight, a full-circle moment for an artist who first graced the stage through #ApolloMusicCafé.

Repping the hometown spirit of D.C., @BlackAlley brought their signature “Hood Rock” and Go-go sound to the historic venue, igniting the crowd and reminding us why live music and community remain at the heart of what we do.

It was a celebration of excellence, and the artists shaping what’s next.
