With a coveted Dove Award win, Grammy and Stellar Award nominations, critical acclaim, and nearly 20 years of memorable music to their credit, to say that Contemporary gospel trio Virtue have made their mark on the gospel music scene at large would be an understatement.

Introducing a fresh take on the fusion of Urban and gospel music with their 1997 self-titled debut, the group – comprised of sisters Ebony Holland, Karima Kibble, and Heather Martin – embarked on a journey of sonic excellence that would lead them from humble Southern beginnings to the top of gospel charts with signature hits like “Get Ready,” “Put Your War Clothes On,” “Til’ You Believe,” “Lord, I Lift My Hands,” and more.

Now, with a trail of gospel gems in their rearview, the sensational sister act is looking to forge a new path with their long-awaited comeback project. Led by “You Are,” their new Billboard top 30 single, the stunning ladies of Virtue sit down with That Grape Juice to discuss their re-release ‘Testimony:  Reloaded,’ the new album that’s still in the works, and more.

Catch it all below:

Incessantly pit against one another, Beyonce and Rihanna put on a united front last night in New York at Kanye West’s Adidas Originals x Yeezy Season fashion show.

Both in attendance to support the rapper’s inaugural presentation with the sports giant, the ladies were joined by Bey’s husband Jay Z and Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian (who brought along daughter North West).

Cute pic. Unfortunately for Rih, though, talent isn’t contagious.

Months after Tyga took to VIBE magazine to announce his departure from his Young Money label home and slam his fellow YMCMB labelmates Nicki Minaj & Drake (click here if you missed that), the ‘Faded’ rapper is now feeling the burn from a clapback found on ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.’

Unfamiliar with the title?

We were too until late Wednesday night when Drizzy dropped the mixtape unexpectedly to iTunes, sending his faithful fans into a frenzy.  That frenzy was heightened, however, once listeners perused the record to find a less-than-subtle jab at Tyga and 17-year-old girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, in the song ‘6pm In New York.’

See what he said below:

Drake is clearly trying to break the internet.

Sending the net aflutter with the drop of his latest project, ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late,’ similar to the rollout styles of David Bowie and Beyonce‘s latest releases, the set is soaring up Itunes as we speak from fans not knowing if it was a full length studio album or just a mixtape.

Unlike the duo above, he at least lent some form of warning when he shared a 15-minute short film ‘Jungle’ (seen below).  Have you been to iTunes to get your copy or do you need more convincing?

Tuck in below and let us know:

‘Candy Shop’ maker 50 Cent has some interesting thoughts on Beyonce’s current “Beck” situation, suggesting that the latter is far more talented than the ‘Sexy Daddy’ chanteuse thus more deserving of the Grammy award she lost to him.

Ending last year with four top 10 singles (more than any other artist in 2014), it seems burgeoning sex kitten Ariana Grande is looking to kick 2015 is a similar grand fashion with the apocalyptic video for her new single ‘One Last Time.’

Coming as the latest single lifted from her sophomore effort, ‘My Everything,’ the powerhouse singer took to Instagram yesterday to share the first official peek at her newest visual due by the week’s end.

As her tune ‘Love Me Harder ft. the Weeknd’ starts its descent on the Hot 100, are you ready to see Grande lift its replacement in ways like never before?  Tuck in for the preview and take a listen to the song if you haven’t heard it:

If ever the definition of irony existed, it would be in a set of recent damning quotes lent from fading pop superstar Miley Cyrus.

The ‘Wrecking Ball’ beauty, busy on the Australian leg of her ‘Bangerz’ tour, may be wrecking headlines today for lifting some NSFW photos to her Instagram page, but the photos come after a slew of NSFW-news featuring Disney’s former darling.  The most prevalent being the singer’s Quentin Jones-directed, risque short film ‘Tongue Tied’ – a bondage heavy affair topped off with nipple clamps and riding crops – being removed from this month’s New York City Porn Festival.

While rumors swirl on if she actually ever submitted the film herself, the announcement follows her statements to MAC Viva Glam (her latest endorsement gig) as she dishes on the importance of being a role model for young girls, feminism, etc:

While Sam seethes, it becomes evident yet again that the Rihanna reign simply will not let up.

For, after the Bajan beauty delivered a critically acclaimed vocal showing of her Paul McCartney & Kanye West-assisted hit ‘FourFiveSeconds’ at the 2015 Grammy Awards, she joined Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith as having the week’s top sales gains as a result of the showing.

Blasting right into the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 not even a month after the tune’s release, Ri’s latest traipse into the chart’s upper rankings not only sees her threaten another slew of legendary Hot 100 stats, but also sees her three steps away from adding her name to history books for another singles’ accomplishment.
