Monaleo shut down The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland, making her third highly animated, sold-out stop in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) one to remember. With tickets selling quickly across all three dates, the crowd reflected the demand surrounding the tour. From the opening moments to the final surprise guest, the Houston rapper curated a night rooted in confidence, community, and undeniable star power.

The night kicked off with a special moment for the home crowd when rising DMV artist Bri3 hit the stage to perform her new hit song, “Off Me,” setting the tone early with raw energy and confidence.

When Monaleo finally emerged, the energy shifted instantly. Her presence was commanding yet effortless—an artist fully comfortable in her moment. Backed by roaring crowd participation, she moved seamlessly through fan favorites “Putting Ya Dine,” “Don Who Leo”, “Sexy Soulaan,” and “Bigger Than Big,” commanding every corner of the stage. Each song landed with intention, reinforced by an audience rapping along word for word.

Midway through the set, Monaleo tapped into fan nostalgia with “Beating Down Yo Block”, igniting one of the loudest reactions of the night. The performance felt raw and celebratory, serving as a reminder of her lyrical roots while highlighting her growth as a seasoned live performer. Between tracks, Monaleo paused to connect with the crowd, expressing genuine gratitude for the DMV’s consistent support.

The night’s collaborative spirit peaked when Monaleo welcomed Foggy Raw, a standout DMV artist, to the stage. Together, they delivered their hit “Prairie View,” a moment that confirmed the power of regional unity—an energy that felt authentic.

Just as the night reached its emotional high, Monaleo offered one final surprise: the appearance of her husband and fellow artist, Stunna 4 Vegas. His performance of “Animal” sent the crowd into a full frenzy, transforming The Fillmore into a wave of raised hands and collective movement.

By the end of the night, Monaleo had done more than perform a setlist. She met expectations but also surpassed them. She crafted a moment—one that honored her journey, uplifted local talent, and reminded audiences why she continues to stand out in today’s rap scene. Her Fillmore stop wasn’t just another date on the tour calendar; it was proof that Monaleo isn’t just passing through cities—she’s leaving her mark.
