Upcoming producer Amorphous is making a name for himself.

Case in point, his song, ‘Finally (Cannot Hide It),’ features Kelly Rowland and CeCe Peniston. The house-infused track samples Peniston’s 1991 hit ‘Finally.’ It also includes production from MNEK.

Across the track Rowland sings:

“Finally, it has happened to me / Right in front of my face / My feelings can’t describe it.“

The track is lifted from Amorphous’ debut EP ‘Things Take Shape,’ which is set to feature Kehlani and Brandy as well.

Listen to his team up with Rowland and Peniston below…

Fans of ‘Kiss Me More’ crooner Doja Cat wanted more, and more is exactly what they received courtesy of the deluxe edition of her third studio album, ‘Planet Her.’

Released June 26 (just a day after its original incarnation), the updated version expanded the set’s tracklist to 19 songs and includes appearances from fellow rappers Eve, Gunna, and others.  As Cat’s beloved fan base, affectionately called #Kittens, continue to consume the set and its re-release at a historic rate (see:  biggest album debut by a female rapper in Spotify history), their hard work has boosted its predicted first-week sale figure.

What’s more, the uptick in activity could also see its lead single – the SZA-assisted ‘Kiss Me More’ – pucker up to kiss the top of the Hot 100.

Look inside to see just how new development has become just what the Dr. Luke doctor ordered.

Consistently listed as one of her generation’s most highly regarded female rappers, Tierra Whack is no stranger to earning nods from the genre’s enthusiasts, major critics (see: XXL Freshman Class), and even peers like GRAMMY-winning stars Alicia Keys and Cardi B.

Despite the critical acclaim and mounting buzz, however, the 25-year-old took to social media this week to make clear she’s done with the music industry – an announcement that sent shock waves through her growing fan base.

A day before Phylicia Rashad is to assume the reins as dean of Howard University’s College of Fine Arts, the veteran TV actress was embroiled in backlash for posting celebratory tweets in favor of Bill Cosby‘s unexpected prison release.

The BET Awards may have posted an impressive uptick in viewership last year with its first virtual incarnation (as we reported here), but new reports reveal “Culture’s Biggest Night” was unable to continue that trajectory with their latest edition.

Despite aligning the star power of megawatt talent of Cardi B, H.E.R, Lil Nas X, DaBaby, Megan Thee Stallion, and more on its most packed performance roster to date, their combined shine – thank to steep competition from televised U.S. Olympics programming – wasn’t enough to illuminate ratings tallies.

Standing in history books as the only artist to have five Diamond songs attached to his name, Bruno Mars – already one of the best-selling acts in digital music history – is set to extend that record with a sixth.

As recently revealed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Mars (born Peter Hernandez) is the recipient of a slew of certification upgrades thanks to ongoing interest in his decade-wide catalog of hits.  Among those is his 2012 Hot 100 #1 smash, ‘Locked Out of Heaven,’ which is now just 1 million units away from unlocking Diamond status itself.

After a 13-year silence on the matter, Britney Spears set the media on fire last week with her detailed description of the restraints of her conservatorship by elaborating on the alleged abuse the legal arrangement has empowered her father to wield.

Yet while the ears and hearts of the world were extended to the 39-year-old as a result of her impassioned plea to a judge to bring the court-ordered circumstance to an end, there’s at least one person who wasn’t as moved apparently:  the judge.

It’s been days since Lil Nas X took to the BET Awards stage to perform his controversial hit ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ yet the 22-year-old’s name remains the event’s most mentioned.

While some have praised the GRAMMY winner for his brazen performance, which included a Michael Jackson tribute and same-sex smooch, others – like rapper/producer-turned-reality star Benzino – believe LNX’s showing was too hot for TV.

Taking to social media recently, the 55-year-old waxed honest about his thoughts on the spectacle – going as far as labeling it ‘satanic.’  Needless to say, his commentary ignited quite the hoopla.

Much like Sean Paul‘s hit of the same name, the Dancehall king knows how to ‘Get Busy’ and stay busy.

Indeed, for over two decades he’s delighted with his dynamic flow and flavorsome jams that continue to serve as the soundtrack to lives worldwide.

And, despite his prolific work rate, he shows no signs of slowing down.

In an exclusive interview with That Grape Juice, Paul spills on his TWO new albums (‘Live N Livin” and incoming LP ‘Scorcher’), as well as the secret sauce of his longevity, working with both Beyonce and Rihanna, and much more.
