Variety: Tasked with putting the larger puzzle pieces together was longtime DJ-turned-manager and business partner Adel “Future” Nur, along with Matte Babel and Anthony Gonzales, who round out the management team. The three are just a few of the brains behind DreamCrew — the all-purpose production house with one hand in visual arts, and the other, according to their website, in “Drake’s entire professional career and business portfolio.”

This article answered a lot of things I had wondered about. I often think about how professional shows go on tour and how everything manages to be loaded in and out and fully set up in such a short period of time. I've asked some theater professionals about this and have got some answers, which I find fascinating. I have often wondered if concerts do this in a similar form, and it seems like they mainly do. The one thing I was surprised about was that it was a surprise that one of the venues did not feature the rigging points they were expecting. I would have thought this was something that would have been realized significantly before the load-in even happened, so an alternate strategy could be arranged. On a separate note, I really respect Drake's decision to use his tour as a chance to tell a story, not just to perform. I think many people forget that we don't adore musical artists just because of their talent, but often because of their personality as well. Incorporating this into a concert is something I think all musicians should consider.
I may not be the biggest Drake fan, but I’ve definitely heard of his music before. I was surprised and excited to find out that Drake is exploring a lot of different types of ‘art’ and his role in the entertainment industry – from singer to producer. Everything aside, I highly admire his courage and open-mindedness in pushing himself to try new things and aiming to bring the best experience to those who come to see him. From the article, I can tell that his entire team focuses so much on having a story and then bringing the story to the audience. While this is something that we sort of go ‘duh’ when we do theatre, I think actually being able to do it is much harder. Although I don’t know much about the “It’s All a Blur” tour, I am still willing to go to the concert because there is so much creativity and originality behind the planning. The images also look absolutely incredible.
