Drake ended his relative music drought this week with the unique drop of ‘100 GIGS.’

Aptly titled due to the size of the folder (100 gigabytes), the material comprised both audio and visual content that had never been released before; ranging from new songs to rare studio moments.

Initially housed at a web destination where the 100 GIGS could be downloaded, Drizzy has rolled out the fresh tracks on streaming services.

Serving as a three-pack EP, the songs include ‘It’s Up (featuring 21 Savage and Young Thug),’ ‘Blue Green Red,’ and the Latto-assisted ‘Housekeeping Knows.’ The latter of which we’ve had on repeat here at That Grape Juice.

All arrive on the heels of Drake’s headline-grabbing feud with Kendrick Lamar; a multi-song spar that spawned K.Dot’s chart-topper ‘Not Like Us.’

After seemingly leaving the drama in the rearview, the Canadian star is driving onto pastures new.

Reignited interest in one of Pop music history’s most disgraced acts – Milli Vanilli (comprised of Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus) – hit a feverish pitch after Paramount+ unveiled a jaw-dropping, tell-all documentary film about the German-French duo last year .

Now chronicling their meteoric rise to fame (and just as accelerated downfall) in a dramatized format, the streaming network has lifted the lid on the 80’s hitmakers’ highly anticipated biopic ‘Girl You Know It’s True.’

Named after their 1989 chart-topping debut album which went on to sell over 6 million copies in the United States alone, the new film stars Tijan Njie (Pilatus) and Elan Ben Ali (Morvan) as well as familiar faces like Matthias Schweighöfer, Graham Rogers, and Bella Dayne.

After netting three Hot 100 top 40 hits over the span of nearly three months, GloRilla has proven herself to be a bona fide hitmaker.

Now, as her latest song – ‘All Dere‘ – continues to gain steam on music streaming outlets, the GRAMMY nominee is looking to keep her hot streak going by playing assistant to Real Boston Richey‘s newest release ‘Get In There.’

In late July, musician Javaughn Young-White – the father of Kehlani‘s daughter Adeya – rocked the Web when he filed for full custody of their child with shocking claims the singer was endangering the young girl’s safety due to her involvement in a cult.

Quickly taking to social media to deny the allegations, the GRAMMY-nominated star branded Young-White’s allegations “incredibly hurtful, inaccurate, inappropriate, and simply untrue.”

And while he followed by slamming the news media for sensationalizing aspects of the wording of his original filing (with some outlets even suggesting he meant “sex cult” instead of “religious cult”), the guitarist took to social media on Friday (August 9) to strum up another statement regarding the hoopla caused by the story.

Yung Miami has the internet talking with the return of her award-winning podcast, Caresha Please.

And for understandable reason, as she seized the show’s season 2 debut to dish on Diddy, falling out with JT, and the future (or lack thereof) of the City Girls.

Interestingly, during the chat – which saw Saucy Santana throw questions at her – Yung Miami intimated that she had been encountering issues releasing solo music due to internal issues with her team.

Still, that didn’t stop the star from closing out the episode with a tease of a track called ‘Fa Da Booty.’
