The anthemic tune, which made its premiere during New York Fashion Week as Lil Kim took to the runway to strut her stuff, reportedly has already seen production on its accompanying music video wrapped.

Bebe Rexha has been riding quite the wave of late.

Having anchored herself as a Pop force – both as a songwriter and an artist, the outspoken 29-year-old broke new ground with seismic smash ‘Meant To Be.’

Armed with that momentum, the multi-talented maven is gearing up to unleash new single ‘Last Hurrah.’

Produced by Andrew Wells, the song is lifted from Rexha’s hotly anticipated sophomore album ‘BR2’ – due later this year.

Ahead of the cut’s unwrapping tomorrow (Feb 15th), That Grape Juice were privy to an early listen.

Ciara is back!

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, the R&B star has unleashed a sensual ode ‘Greatest Love.’

An unashamed love letter to husband Russell Wilson, the track sees CiCi profess all the reasons why she has the ultimate bae.

Against the backdrop of blazing production, the songbird salutes her hubby for taking her son as his own and declares that it’s them against the world.
Even more exciting for fans is that the song’s arrival came packaged with its music video.

R. Kelly‘s former tour manager Demetrius Smith has emerged as one of the villains of the ‘Surviving R. Kelly’ story.

For, like the singer Sparkle, he has been upbraided for not doing enough to protect underage girls (including the singer Aaliyah) from Robert and for forging legal documents which “allowed” him to wed the singer when she was in the 10th grade.

Now, as the backlash he is facing intensifies, he has shed more light on his time with the alleged paedophile and revealed that he is just as introduced in exploiting males as he is females…and once came onto him by  walking into his hotel room naked, putting his bare buttocks in his face and asked if he “wanted some of this.”
