Few talents today come as multi-dimensional as Victoria Monet. 

The singer-songwriter is a rising star in her own right, yet has also penned some of the most successful bops from some of the contemporary climate’s most notable names – such as Ariana Grande. 

Her work with the songbird – which includes ‘Thank U, Next’ – saw her nominated at the 2020 GRAMMYs – where That Grape Juice caught up with her on the red carpet.

As well as rooting for Ari, Monet also opened up about her own incoming material, which’ll serve as the follow-up to the super saucy ‘A** Like That.’

Check out her interview with TGJ above.

Dua Lipa is strutting on full steam to the April 3rd release of sophomore album ‘Future Nostalgia.’

To turbo-charge its chances of success, the two-time GRAMMY winner has unleashed its latest single ‘Physical.’

A high-octane synth-Pop bop, the track ups the ante set by lead ‘Don’t Start Now’ and makes Lipa’s sonic agenda with the project potently clear: she’s reaching into the past and fusing the funk of the 70s and 80s with contemporary sounds.

50 Cent has been immortalized on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame!

The rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, received his star on the legendary Los Angeles strip moments ago.

Joining him for the ceremony were longtime friends and collaborators Dr. Dre and Eminem, who cheered on the 44-year-old.

Since blazing onto the scene in 2003 with ‘In Da Club,’ 50 has gone on to sell over 30 million albums and has established himself as a media mogul and cultural force – helming shows such as ‘Power’ and cutting lucrative endorsement deals.

Speaking on the honor, he said:

South Side on the map, wait till they see how I run with this. Hahaha. They never seen nothing like me before.

K. Michelle gets all sorts of candid on new single ‘Just Like Jay.’

Directed by Zachary Greaton, the clip follows the visual for ‘The Rain’ – which has racked up 11 million views and performed well on the Urban Adult Contemporary format.

‘Music to be Murdered By’ has proven itself an apt title for Eminem‘s latest effort, released January 17th.

In addition to killing the competition on the Billboard 200 with a history-making open at #1 (as we reported here), some of the content housed on the project are making dents on the Hot 100.  Placing 12 of the LP’s 20 tracks on this week’s updated version of the chart, the most notable entry comes courtesy of album cut ‘Godzilla’ (which features late Rap star Juice WRLD).

Billboard reports:

“Eminem’s “Godzilla,” featuring Juice WRLD, soars in at No. 3 on the Hot 100. The collaboration also arrives at No. 3 on both Streaming Songs (41.1 million U.S. streams) and Digital Song Sales (24,000 sold).

Eminem earns his 22nd Hot 100 top 10, marking the 16th-highest total in the chart’s archives and the eighth-highest among solo males.”

As we extend our congrats to the Grammy winner, look inside to see who joins him in the top 25 on this week’s edition of ‘TGJ Chart Check.’
