Glenn Toby is More than a manager to me, hes a father figure and a big brother
Dr. Glenn has never been about himself, he's always been about the people. "The quality that he is; is perfection.
"My man Glenn, who I also know as Sweety G, basically we go back a long way in Hip hop. He’s always been somebody that was creative and instrumental in a lot of the styles and in things you see in Hip Hop. We grew up rockin’ and doing parties rhyming and as time went on he expanded and he took new steps in new directions. He’s always been an innovator and always been a guy that I had a lot of love for. He was straight up real and would tell you how he feels … and he’s an artist! He expanded what he does and he’s controlling quite a few artist and sports figures careers.”
“Out of queens you had The Twins, Sweety G, Smalls, couple of other people, Infinity Machine, the cats from Red Hook, Red Storm Forces and this is before Run and them! These were the first cats to make noise from Queens, that allowed people like Run and people from other boroughs to come on stage and that’s the TRUTH!”
“I want to talk a little bit about my man Sweety G and to mention the contribution that this guy made to hip hop early…There was some things going on in queens when he was MC'ing, and there was something’s he was doing there that shaped the future of hip hop. The most impressive thing he did was his selection of things he used to rap on, one of the first dudes that rapped on top of R&B beats. We used regular beats, but he would rap on top of Back Together Again…Like, stuff with MUSIC in it! I'll tell you what they created. I’m good with homage. I could tell you who should pay homage to Sweety G; Heavy D and the Boys, anybody that ever made a record that ended up doing that rhyming melodically thing, owes a lot to Sweety G. I’m from Brooklyn, I’ll tell the truth!
“Glenn Toby took me on as a manager. I was overzealous, and things didn’t happen as fast as I would like them to. I always wanted to do charity work, but I never knew how to get into it. He does all of these good deeds for the community. He’s a mentor, brother, and father to me. When I have problems, even if personal things come up, I call him up he embraces me with open arms and he lets me know he’s there for me. I always tell people that Glenn Toby is one in a bazillion. Foreal!”
“I’m blessed to work with Glenn Toby and I wasn’t always blessed. No one was able to do this in my neighborhood. We’re giving out new clothes, not old clothes!”
“I would like to thank Book Bank and Glenn Toby for dealing with me. This is Glenn's passion because he went through it. You were talking to two girls that lived in a Lexus, and it made you want to drop a tear. You’re the only brother that I see doing that. Going into the Hood, going to Atlanta, going to Brooklyn, the grimiest hoods and taking a risk and going in these shelters. That’s why I have so much respect for Glenn. I enjoy doing it because I come from those areas too.”
“Even though he’s one of the country’s top sports agent, Glenn Toby life was not always so rosy. Toby who represents over 30 athletes used to be homeless but is still giving back to the unfortunate during the holiday season. Toby recruited the help of some of NY’s finest, like 50 and Loyd Bank to help the cause.”
“Sweety G and I grew up together in Queens. He was a rapper and we would battle on the mic. We had crossover sounds. We were very fortunate to get out of the hood by our two arms, two legs and head. Now that we did make it, we have to give back to people in need. He is all about blessing and helping those who need help and giving a helping hand to kids and the unfortunate. This is my blessing and I'd like to thank my man G for having me.”
“Sweety G? This dude was the first to rhyme fast, my man Sweety G! A lot of y’all know him … I know him as Sweety G! The Bronx had Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five but when it came to Queens we had Sweety G spearheading the movement! You helped them (LL Cool J, Run DMC) keep moving back in the day, he used to kill it back in the day! Sweety G is one of Queens premier hip hop rappers out there.”

“Glenn Toby is my hero and I've never said that of anyone. He is my mentor and friend. When he speaks, he gives me life. He's a giver not a taker He an example of being grateful and humble. That's why he has God's favor.“
Glenn Toby is a creative force! I immediately think of Club Zanzibar, and the first time I heard "Ma Foom Bey". Glenn's music and business ideas have always been progressive! Glenn is a modern day Renaissance man and pioneer! Glenn Toby is also a great person, who is looking to help others reach their full potential!
"Ma Foom Bey was one of the first songs I've known to be a house music anthem. It was one of the songs that defined House Music for me early in my career."
“Chicago and New Jersey / New York have always had a musical connection and a mutual respect for each others music (Club Music and House Music). My best memories of Glen Toby would be in the summer of 1986, not personally, but musically, through his song, "Ma Foom Bey", which he recorded under the moniker Cultural Vibe. DJ Tony Humphries always seemed to be playing this classic at Club Zanzibar right before my group J.M. Silk would perform there, which was at least 4 times between 1986 and 1987. "Ma Foom Bey" is definitely one of my favorite New Jersey Club Classics...for me, it brings back the great memories of Club Zanzibar every time I play it!
Although our paths have crossed many times musically, Glenn Toby and I actually met for the first time some 26 years later, in 2012 at the MIDEM conference in Cannes, France. There was definitely a spiritual connection that felt like running into a childhood buddy again. I have known Glen musically for years, but now we are set to bring our life experiences together through limitless new collaborations. Neither Glen, Myself, or the World can predict what they will be.”
“Glenn Toby is a true businessman, but above all he's a true artist...not many people can do what he does, which is disconnecting and tapping into other-worldly sources. I knew Glenn's music before I knew him and then we went on to do shows and perform together. When we started performing together, is when I realized how versatile he is and how differently he sees life; its his feeling and emotions that come out of him. Ma Foom Bey did not sound like anything else that came out at the time, it stood on its own. Then you have the vocals, he has a phenomenal voice as a singer, his voice is amazing. When we performed together at Webster hall, we sang together and with our harmonies the crowd went wild. He has a unique gift of channeling his ancestors. His music bought a whole new conversation to House music; the African flavor to the vocals, no one knew what Ma Foom Bey meant or even that it was African, but he educated us, through the music. House music is normally about about love and loss and letting go and then all of a sudden he comes out with this deep voice and African tribal chanting. Glenn is an artist, an achiever, but most of all he's an amazing humanitarian.”
"What I remember about Glenn is the amazing energy he put into his shows. A true professional & crowd pleaser."
"Ma Foom Bey has to be one of the reasons every house producer makes house music. I can't put it any clearer. We all owe Glenn Toby for that one!
"Brilliant guy, fabulous singer, incredibly talented and great friend. I witnessed him on both the house and hip hop scene. Anything he wanted to do, he was able to put his mind to it and be successful. A good businessman, it's no wonder he's successful at what he does."
"Glenn Toby gave us the first sounds of our ancestors in house music. Which drives the dance floor even more today with eyes closed, moving to a barefoot rhythm screaming oh yes that's my sh*t."
“I met Glenn Toby when I was first coming up DJ'ing in clubs and on the radio and from the minute we met he has always been a very down to earth and grounded guy. Always very respectful, supportive, level headed, and fun to be around. As a producer/artist his tracks were instant get the crowd on the floor or take the party to the next level material and they are true classics. I’m very happy to consider him a friend and glad that he is doing well in his current business endeavors”
"As a DJ and a fan of house music I can say that his contributions to the genre has deeply impacted and continues to affect and influence people in all corners of the House Music community. I certainly enjoyed playing his music for the many who found a very close & spiritual connection to his sound."
