Ever keen to broaden our musical scope, recent months have seen That Grape Juice venture into a number of new musical landscapes including, most recently, gospel.

As a gifted rapper, Drake often finds favour around these sides. However, on occasion, the Canadian MC does some very “Drake” things which leave us scratching our heads.

Case, point, his new Ovo video which features him drinking a shot from a coveted Grammy Award.

The footage shows the Young Money star receiving a gong for Best Rap Album (2012) for his sophomore effort ‘Take Care’; unable to contain his excitement, the 26-year-old uses it in a way we doubt those vying for similar recognition would smile at.

See what we mean below…

He’s the mastermind behind some of Gospel and R&B’s recent chart winners. That’s right, we’re talking about the vocal wonder that is TC– the man behind Brandy‘s fan favorite ‘Wish Your Love Away’ and Justin Bieber‘s ‘She Don’t Like The Lights’.

Now, in lending that voice to the stellar cut, he’s released a cover of Fantasia‘s forthcoming single ‘Without Me’, so close to the original even we had trouble differentiating between this and the original.

For anyone old enough remember to release of Beyonce‘s debut album ‘Dangerously In Love’, its 10th anniversary will no doubt bring back many a fond memory.

Following the critical success of Kelly Rowland‘s Alternative R&B piece ‘Simply Deep’ and Michelle Williams’ speedy ascent to the top of Gospel, ‘Love’ came two years after its title track featured on Destiny’s Child 2001 LP ‘Survivor’, a classic in its own right.

Now, in celebrating the album’s tenth birthday and the moments it created for so many across the world, we ask…

When was the first time you heard ‘Crazy In Love’?

With Drake dropping ‘Nothing Was The Same‘ in September, Big Sean eyes the month of August for the launch of his new LP ‘Hall Of Fame‘.

While fans have been enjoying ‘Boomerang’ – the latest single from guitar wielding soul singer Lyfe Jennings, the ‘Hypothetically’ hitmaker has lifted the lid on a forthcoming reality show.

Titled ‘Our Life’, the show is set to document the daily happenings of Lyfe’s life post-3 year jail stint.  Much like rapper Shawty Lo, it is said the show’s focus will be more on Jennings’ children and “baby mamas”, but unlike Lo, the ‘Must Be Nice’ maestro promises to keep the show nice and ‘ratchet-free’.

Until we see if he keeps his promise, keep it locked to That Grape Juice for more on this story as it develops.  No premiere date or network set as of time reporting.

Believe it or not, today marks the 10th anniversary of Beyonce‘s debut album ‘Dangerously In Love’- an album that redefined Pop culture for good.

The launching pad for a career that served to birth so many after hers, the R&B project saw the entertainer rise from the comfort of Destiny’s Child, and ultimately overshadow the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Ashanti, dwarfing their run at the top with a campaign that saw Mathew Knowles exercise every tool and rule in the book to ensure its success.

Now, 11 million albums later, we celebrate the project’s greatest moment….the star’s performance of its title track at 46th Annual Grammy Awards.

As it stands, she will join Justin Timberlake, Elijah Blake, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Miguel, Chris Brown and R.Kelly as performers on three day experience- which will also open its doors to ‘Yes’ vocalist Beyonce.

Her sighting comes after reports indicated she had enlisted Pharrell Williams to produce material on her third studio album, weeks after her Pop smash ‘Va Va Voom’ edged nearer to US sales of 1 million units!!
