Diddy‘s continues to make clear that he “invented the remix.”

For, the superstar has unlocked several new incarnations of his current single ‘Gotta Move On (ft. Bryson Tiller).’

Lifted from his forthcoming new studio album (which will arrive via the mogul’s freshly minted label imprint Love Records), the song now boasts a ‘Kings Remix.’

Following on from the Queens Remix (which added Ashanti and Yung Miami into the mix), the latest take on the track features Fabolous and Tory Lanez (…).

Lil Baby is back and aiming to blaze with his long-awaited new album ‘It’s Only Me.’

Serving as the follow-up to 2020’s ‘My Turn,’ the 23-track set sees the Atlanta native fire from all cylinders on what is unquestionably one of Hip-Hop’s most hotly anticipated offerings of the year.

Arriving on the heels of the MC’s Prime Video documentary ‘Untrapped: The Lil Baby Story,’ the LP features guest spots from many a heavy-hitter including Future and Young Thug, as well as Nardo Wick, Jeremih, and Pooh Shiesty.

The project is preceded by the single ‘In A Minute,’ which reached #1 on Urban and Rhythmic radio.

Diddy‘s latest single may be titled ‘Gotta Move On,’ but that’s the opposite of what the mogul is doing with the track.

Instead, the star – who has long reminded that he invented the remix – has delivered a refreshed take on the song; one that sees Ashanti and City Girls member Yung Miami feature alongside him and Bryson Tiller.

Billed the Queens Remix, the Ron Browz production is touted as reflecting the energy of New York.

Miami makes a splash with her unique flow, while Ashanti reflects on her past relationship with Irv Gotti.

Release via Diddy’s new label, Love Records, the ‘Gotta Move On (Queens Remix)’ has been paired with an all-new video directed by Kid Art.

Nicki Minaj has had quite the year with female rappers.

While the likes of JT, Akbar V, BIA, and more have praised the Rap Queen for her support of the genre’s up-and-coming femcees, others – like Latto most recently – have suggested she’s hell-bent on sabotaging their careers.

And while Nicki and Latto continue their Twitter fisticuffs stemming from the Thursday announcement (October 13) about the potential GRAMMY miscategorization of the former’s #1 hit, ‘Super Freaky Girl,’ another critically acclaimed rapstress – CHIKA – has entered the chat.

Look inside to see how her weigh-in caused a fiery clap back from Minaj’s dedicated fans, affectionately called #BARBZ.

Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Blink-182, Louis Tomlinson, Tove Lo, and Jordy.

Nearly 3 years ago Nicki Minaj joined a chorus of hitmakers who called out The Recording Academy for snubbing The Weeknd‘s 2020 album, ‘After Hours,’ when it was reported the blockbuster project didn’t get any nominations for the GRAMMYs’ 2021 ceremony.

Minaj is no stranger to being overlooked by the voting committee as she – despite being attached to some of the biggest Hip-Hop hits over the last 12 years – has only been nominated 10 times and boasts no wins (as of the time of this report).

The remedy to that seemed poised to finally come thanks to the commercial and critical response to ‘Super Freaky Girl’ – her first solo Hot 100 chart-topper and one of the biggest songs of 2022. Yet, once again, the diva has found herself at odds with the Academy’s voting committee after it was announced Thursday (October 13) the Rap song would not be considered in any Rap categories.

And while the Rap Queen’s discussion on the matter may have turned into a controversial royal rumble (as we reported here), her initial grievance should not be disregarded:  ‘Super Freaky Girl’ does NOT belong in GRAMMY Pop categories.

Look inside for That Grape Juice‘s top 6 reasons why.

Stormzy has unwrapped the video for ‘Hide & Seek’ – the lead single from his hotly anticipated third studio album ‘This Is What I Mean’ (due November 25).

Produced by P2J AND PGRSHN, the melodic number boasts additional vocal contributions from Brit-bred singer Ayanna as well as Nigerian stars Oxlade and Teni. 

Its accompanying video, directed by Meji Alabi, depicts Stormzy in a relationship with a lover (played by Saffron Hocking) – with all the rollercoaster of romance unpacked in earnest.

The clip arrives on the heels of the Rap royal’s ‘Mel Made Me Do It,’ which signaled his return.

Latto just poured fuel on the flames of her fiery feud with Nicki Minaj. 

As reported, the femcees have been locked in a public spat after Minaj bemoaned her placement in the Pop category of GRAMMY nomination consideration with ‘Super Freaky Girl’ while the rising rapper’s smash ‘Big Energy’ was allowed to remain in the Rap pool.

Insults have flown aplenty, with many of the jabs veering beyond the professional onto personal terrain.

Now, Latto has lit a fresh match but sharing audio from a call between her and Onika – in which she stresses: “you’re subtweeting me for no reason.” A war of words that was, private until now, ensued.

Nicki Minaj and Latto have been at loggerheads for hours on social media and the flames have intensified with fresh discourse on the topic of…rapists.

As reported, a fiery war of words ignited online between the femcees after Minaj bemoaned her song ‘Super Freaky Girl’ being shifted to the Pop category pool for GRAMMY nomination consideration – while highlighting that Latto’s ‘Big Energy’ is being allowed to remain in the Rap sphere.

More jabs have been thrown than a Mike Tyson fight, with the ladies branding each other “Scratch Off,’ “Super Freaky Grandma,” and more.

Now, “rapist” claims are being thrown – with Dr. Luke (who produced both tracks) being roped into the melee as well as Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty and brother Jelani Maraj.

It’s notable in light of the sexual assault convictions held by Petty and Jelani and the well-documented (and ongoing) legal drama hitmaker Luke is embroiled in with Kesha.

Buzz around Chris Brown‘s latest album, the June-released ‘Breezy,’ may have come and gone, but the singer’s dedicated fans (affectionately called #TeamBreezy) are still keeping other tunes from his jam-packed discography front-and-center on social media and music charts.

Three years after the ‘Indigo’ track ‘Under the Influence’ first landed on digital outlets, the Kiddominant-produced bop began dominating Tik Tok reels – a feat that helped it fly up global and domestic Apple Music sales charts and eventually reach the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100.

In a bid to push it even higher on the latter tally, Brown has unveiled a sneak peek at the song’s long-awaited forthcoming music video.

Look inside to see the trailer.
