GRAMMY nominee Nao is back with the ‘Antidote.’

The revered singer-songwriter teams with Nigerian star Adekunle Gold for the shining jam.

A delicious slice of whimsical Afro-Pop, the track arrived as an unannounced surprise and follows 2020’s ‘Woman.’

It forms part of a steady return to the spotlight for the vocalist – who welcomed her first child last year and last released an album in 2018 (‘Saturn’).

We’ve had this infectious cut on replay here at That Grape Juice and it seems there is no ‘Antidote’ for its addictiveness.

Despite having a documented history of dissing Rap Queen Nicki Minaj, DJ Akademiks made headlines recently for finally “bowing down to kiss the ring” – but not without doing so at the expense of other female rappers.

No stranger for earning negative reviews for his controversial opinions, the popular Urban culture commentator expressed disappointment for the “low bar” set for femcees over the last year.  An interesting position given that female Rap hit unprecedented highs in 2020.

“The popular female rappers in 2020, the bar was this low,” said Akademiks. “Truth be told, for all the male rappers, if it was on some Juwanna Man sh*t and could f*ckin’ trick the game and just have a big f*ckin’ fat ass and people think they’re a female and just wear like, a ton of lace fronts and f*ckin’ wigs and throw on a sh*t ton of lipgloss, yeah, the skill level is here.”

Later in his rant, he homed in on Minaj’s ‘Hot Girl Summer’ co-star Megan Thee Stallion by claiming the Hot Girl Coach had ‘lazy bars’ and was succesful because she was ‘a victim.’

That’s not all he said.  Look inside to see just what got Stallion’s fans, affectionately called Hotties, blazing keyboards in defense of the Houston-born rapstress.

Last year, Bow Wow teased he was teaming with longtime friend/collaborator Omarion to create a sequel to their 2007 duet album, ‘Face Off,’ in response to the postponement of their 2020 ‘Millennium Tour’ due to the global health crisis.

Taking to Hot 97’s ‘Ebro in the Morning’ recently, the 33-year-old dished on the forthcoming effort (which he claims will be his final before retirement).

“I’ma do one more album. It’s gonna be the last one and it’s gonna be called ‘Before 30,’ and I’ma have Snoop [Dogg] narrate the whole thing,” Bow Wow said.

That’s not all he said.  Get the scoop inside:
