That Grape Juice LA had the pleasure of catching up with Roc Nation maestro Elijah Blake recently, meeting him on the set of his debut music for video…‘XOX’.
Featuring the lyricist that is Common, the cut is fast becoming one of the year’s most celebrated R&B hits- taken on by many a YouTube cover act and soaring to #12 on iTunes USA days after release.
So, if you’re interested in meeting the man behind Usher‘s ‘Climax’ and Rihanna‘s ‘No Love Allowed’, press play on the clip below…
In other Roc related news, today saw Pop sensation Rihanna become the first act in chart history to see 11 of her singles surpass the 3 million mark.

I have two things to say and the first is that I like this guy and I hope does well. The second is that R**** can sell 10 billion singles in the world but it won’t change the fact that she wasn’t s*** yesterday, isn’t s*** today and won’t be s*** tomorrow. Da Kween Bey has spoken.
Why are you so pressed when was the last time Beyonce sold 3 million with a ballad?
When was the last time Rihanna wrote a number one single?
You better ask that girl.

Shady ass you coulda gave Rihanna her own post for that @thatgrapejuice smh
Oh f*** off you randy w****, just be lucky they gave her a shoutout in the first place. Ain’t like she wrote any of them songs. B****.
Rihanna doesn’t deserve her own thread because she didn’t write any of the songs.
Mariah writes her own songs boo?
My husband.
When you kept on writing about him I checked out his music and I really liked it, so I have high hopes for him. He’s a little hood though.
I was indifferent at first but now I’m sold 2bh.
The Queen of the loose p**** brigade is back! Where you been girl?
Unless you want to talk to me about Elijah kindly f*** off.
Using Rihannas name to get more comments on an Elijah post lol let the war begin girls xoxo
This is where I get confused about this one. Either he’s gonna completely slay and scalp Miguel and Francine’s wig or he’s gonna flop. I checked his youtube views and he’s slaying and for his song to be doing that well on itunes people must be onto him so I’ll start using him and see where he goes.
Miguel is on the way out because nobody is here for his personality, Frank and Aubriana are the ones he has to worry about.
Miguel is on the way out? What kind of exaggeration.
Please explain how Miguel is on his way out. I’ll wait.
I love him.
My n**** Elijah on the come up.
What a nice dude.
I can’t stand R&B honestly but I can get into his stuff because a lot of it sounds like mellow rock.
How is this song doing on other charts aside from the few minutes it spent on Itunes top 100??I try to check his name on wikipedia & all i got was WOMAN TO WOMAN,ROC NATION,UNAPOLOGETIC etc…Is he slaying or what since Sam posts nothing but the #12 Itunes peak…Bubbling under?Dance chart?RnB airplay?…anything.
Remain pressed my dear, remain all the way the f*** pressed. The song is new and he hasn’t even performed it anywhere so take the stick that’s in your ass and stick it in your mouth.
Babe,My pressed self is only seeking info on how the song is doing….is that wrong?
Why are the CSquad so rude. Last I checked it WAS number 12 on itunes and i think its top 40 on R&B but only online.
I know! When Sam decides to stan, it´s just crazy.
Smart AND s***, my playlist is ready.
Overrated…. Tgj stay kissing his ass
It would be a Miguel stan that’s pressed. Everyone can see your fave for what he is and that’s a nasty egotistical little man with a gay complex. Billboard told his midget ass not to jump but he did it anyway and now that poor girl he landed may have damage of the brain.
You must not remember how TGJ treated Miguel when he first came out, they treated him like his name was Beyonce.
Deadass thought I was the only who remembered that. I didn’t know who Miguel was until i used to on him on here and then he blew the f*** up. I did lowkey feel some kind of way when he tried to shade them on twitter because I remember how much they used to go in for him before anybody cared.
Please do spill on how Miguel shaded… lol
They are on his payroll obviously. He has some nice songs but he ain’t wow me
The way your fav depends on him for album tracks though.
Where is Keyshia on the charts s***??
I didn’t know he was this charming.
Oh @ Rihanna not making any money from her singles.
Kiiii Kiii Kiiii. She’s a flop b****.
He’s not all that
You’re a Ciara stan though.
And you are a J. Ho stan. I fail to realize your point.
WHO??
Ewwww please don’t give interviews to that hood juice. Secondly Elijah Blake is so fine….he is just ridiculously good looking…damn.
UH oh….there is trouble! Rumors are speculating that Rih and chanel are working together. Peep this post:
iRio kicked off her Chanel spree today by tweeting a photo of a gift from the deisgn house, a bright yellow bag. It appears the fashion lover and Chanel have struck up quite the relationship as Rihanna thanked her “dear friends” for the pressie.
The star was so impressed with her tour and history lesson that she later took to Twitter to thank her guide and designer friend Laetitia Crahay, writing: “Me and the very lovely @laetitiacrahay You were so wonderful to us!! Thank you so much! Glad we got to
The star left the tweet at that, was it a tantalising hint as to a future colab with the designhouse?
Laetitia is the jewellery and accessories designer for Chanel, prompting speculation that Rihanna, who already has a fashion line with River Island, could be working on an accessories line.
Watch this sp
Something is brewing with rihanna. I remember when Rih went to milan to meet with folks from Miu Miu. No one knew what was brewing, it turned out that she done the deal with Armani.
Now, this meeting with the head designer at Chanel? This woman is head designer for jewels and accessories, and rih had been rocking lots of chanel accessories. They are cooking up her own Riri chanel jewel line. Yes rih get that brand money.’
POOR BEYONCE……..Fizzling out minute by minute.
Chanel / Rih joint accessoires line >>>>>>>>>>Beyonce brief turn for HnM
Armani underwar and denim line.>>>>>>>>>>> Rih summer flop for HNM, which was replaced by a victoria secrets model
Rih own line for River island>>>>>>>>> House of dereon ghetto local flop mess.
Rih for MAC, which includes her own bronzer called bajun girl>>>>>>>>>> bEYONCE being on of 50 celeb faces of Loreal.
Budweiser>>>>>>>> Pespi. Rih is going for the sports / male crowd and they drink more budwesier than crappy flop pepsi. Yes, rih get those dudes buying your s***.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Boom ! 25 rih MURKING beyonce at brand building, she is selling her lifestyle. Beyonce is just a crappy face / RIH is lifestyle.
Call me when Rihanna spends ten years representing the same company.
even supermodels do not spend 10 years with same company and they barely use bey. Right now, Doutzon Krous, Liya kebede, lea Michele and Cheryl cole are being used hard. As does Eva longoria.
So how does that mean she is working with them?
Katy,
The women she thanked is the head designer of jewels and accessories at chanel. Rih has been rocking Chanel jewels for months. She is having private tours at Coco Chanel apartment. No one knows yet, but something is brewing.
Between Beyonce and Rih, Rih is 99% more likely to get a chanel deal or collabo. Somethin is up. We will all see, either way, she is winning on the charts, tours and branding. Hollywood is waiting too. Vin diesel said teh fat furious producers are waiting to get rih on bord for the next film. She could be the sidekick of Jason staham, the new baddie and her and Michelle Rodriguez can have a b**** fight. You know is a bad b****, with potty mouth.
I have no idea what is happening to beyonce fading out career.
Hey Sybil did you hear about BEYONCE having the best selling Vogue cover of 2013?
SEEEETTTHHEEE!
He makes me squirt
Rihanna was dropped by Nivea. Beyonce has never been dropped by anything ever in life. Says a lot doesn’t it.
