When they aren’t building bops for ‘Keep On’ Lookin’ singer Ciara and the ‘Fergalicious‘ Fergie, production duo Rock City can be found hard at work on their own artistry, stepping out to release the single ‘I’m That’ this year.

Doing so with the full backing of hit making producer/collaborator Dr. Luke, the pair enlisted 2 Chainz to join them on the single, now available to spin after the jump!

Could the single be indicative of the direction they’re set to take Ciara in for her new studio album?

What Jason had to say on the matter when he touched down on ‘Hot 97’ hours ago? He denied them, revealing that he had no involvement with the young lady, whom he billed a  serial “home wrecker.”

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As this week marks the 25th anniversary of the release of ‘Rhythm Nation’ – the now legendary fourth album from pop superstar Janet Jackson, we are set to deliver our biggest ‘Replay’ yet in homage to the Queen.

It all awaits below:

For, according to fresh reports, the 39-year-old is gearing up to release new music…and soon.
