Ty Dolla $ign & Friends Host The EZMNY JammJam Presented By Amazon Music & Jammcard

by Nishat Baig February 6, 2026
written by Nishat Baig

Last week Ty Dolla $ign & friends hosted the first annual EZMNY JAMMJAM presented by Amazon Music & JammCard at WePlay Studios in Inglewood, California. The night was a fun and innovative way to celebrate the grammy nominations for EZMNY Records as well as The Jammcard community. Ty Dolla $ign was celebrating a total of 11 Grammy nominations this year including: 1 for himself for Best Melodic Rap Performance for “Wholeheartedly” with J.I.D and 6LACK, 6 nominations for EZMNY’s Leon Thomas and 4 nominations for EZMNY’s Bizzy Crook. In case you missed it, the evening was livestreamed via Prime Video & Twitch and is still currently available for viewing. The performance was held in an intimate setting bringing together artists, creators and industry tastemakers all under one roof for one of the most legendary jam sessions in history.

The EZMNY JAMMJAM featured Ty’s signature line of champagne Le Bon Argent as well as a custom drink menu featuring Milagro Tequila and Monkey Shoulder Whisky with cocktails named after TY and his EZMNY artists’ hit records like the “Don’t Kill The Party,” “EZMNY” and “MUTT-INI.” There was an exclusive VIP area for close friends, executives and special guests, while floor seats provided an up-close look at the performances.  Nearly every musician from drummers to pianists to saxophone players were grammy nominated like drummer Nate Smith and sax player / producer Terrace Martin. The most awe-inspiring aspect of the star-studded event was it featured performances from legends over the last 20 years to present day. Notable performances included Rapsody, Lalah Hathaway, AJ McLean, Jojo, T.I., Wale, Black Eyed Peas, Jordan Adetunji, Kalan fr.fr, Destin Conrad, Ne-Yo, Bizzy Crook, Leon Thomas, Eboni Riley, IDK and many more. Ty’s father Tyrone Griffin Sr. even did a set with his former band Lakeside, which Ty joined in creating a beautiful moment of celebration and community across generations.

Amazon Music ’26 Lot Party Was The Highlight of Grammy Week

by Nishat Baig February 6, 2026
written by Nishat Baig

Last week we attended one of the most prolific annual events during Grammy week, Amazon Music’s 2026 Lot Party. The event took place at the iconic Culver Studios and brought together artists, creators, executives, media and tastemakers across the music industry. KittyCa$H and Más Tiempo (Skepta) were on the ones and twos and the night even included special performances by both Ne-Yo and Akon! Ne-Yo performed classics like “Miss Independent” while Akon had guests going crazy with “I Wanna Love You.” The two also performed their collaborative hit with David Guetta, “Play Hard.” This performance came the same day the two announced their Night’s Like This Global 2026 Tour.  Not only did fans get a sneak peak into their upcoming tour, but Skepta also shared an exclusive, previewing his upcoming unreleased record with Nigerian artist Asake called “Aloe Vera,” from his upcoming album Fork & Knife.

Throughout the night Amazon Music had a multitude of stations and activations set up for attendees to take home mementos. There was a merch customization station, Grammy Week prep goodies like mints & lip balm and several photo boots allowing guests to take  print and digital pics as well as videos! Lite bites and complimentary cocktails with sensory add-ons were available like infused bubbles, dry ice and flames. Amazon Music also opened their Studio 126 doors and allowed guests to tour the premises and understand what all they offer like listening lounges, screening rooms and a giftshop. Studio 126 offered gameplay demos of Courtroom Chaos—the Snoop Dogg–driven, voice-controlled party game from Amazon Games Studios and an exclusive preview of Paul McCartney’s upcoming Man on the Run documentary and the merch showroom featured exclusive tour drops.

There were many special guests in attendance including MoneyBagg Yo, Shaboozey, Tinashe, Benson Boone, HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami), Jhené Aiko, Tiffany Haddish, Chase Hudson and more.
