Much to his dismay, Chance the Rapper woke up to discover that one of his songs, a numbed named ‘Living Single‘, had surfaced online.
Forced to make the most of the troublesome matter, the entertainer looked on as fans weigh in on the jam.
Their conclusion?
Will you agree?
Tuck into the Jeremih, Smino and Big Sean-assisted effort after the leap to find out…
“Dynamite” is what many have deemed newcomer MAAD. Could she be next to blow?
We, here at That Grape Juice, wholly feel so.
In a sea of sameness, the New York bred beauty stands out from the pack. Powerfully.
It’s not just her statuesque aesthetic, but her narrative too.
Her ascend began in the world of modelling and to-date she has featured in publications such as ELLE and NYLON, while also fronting campaigns for the likes of Seventeen and Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Music, however, has always been the budding diva’s divine calling.
Indeed, when not spinning hits as one of NYC’s most sought-after DJ’s, the rising star logs in studio time with the likes of Claude Kelly, Jonas Jeberg, and The Vamp – the latter of who produced her infectious new single ‘Black Ice.’
The deliciously seductive cut has been garnering plenty of play around TGJ HQ over the last few weeks, but it’s its video that has our jaws ajar.
Directed by Creative Destruction, the visual sees MAAD sassily state her claim for superstardom…with an exclamation mark.
She slips, slides, and grinds with seasoned precision and pulls from her modelling skill set to ensure almost every frame is an editorial in itself.
With too many artists chasing the minimalist trend, this young lady re-affirms the importance of performance art. And we’re oh so sold on what she’s selling – as there’s not enough of it permeating the music landscape.
Both retro and refreshing.
MAAD’s EP ‘‘Lé Funk’ lands in September.
Until then, hit PLAY on ‘Black Ice’ above…
It’s that time of year again.

If music industry analysts were hoping the successful releases of Rihanna, Drake, Kanye West, and Beyonce would be enough to save 2016 from the sales woes of 2015 (read more here), their hope was misguided.
As detailed by the mid-year Nielsen report created to reflect American music consumption trends, 2016 is off to a much worse start than last year. In fact, compared to this time last year, traditional sales are seeing a steady decline with physical numbers down 14% while digital numbers are down a whopping 18%.
However, not all is lost. For, as the releases of Drizzy, Rih, and West have proven, streaming is not the wave of the future, but it is the wave of the now (read more here).

Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, MNEK and Pink and a number of other high profile Pop purveyors have joined forces to record an original song to honour the lives of those slain in Orlando, Florida recently.
The name of the moving Justin Tranter-penned single? ‘Hands.’
He shared:
Like the rest of the world I woke up to the news that morning and was horrified and sad and scared,” says Tranter. “We assigned everybody what we thought would be the best part for their voice and we asked them all to sing an additional part, just in case. But everybody got it done in time so we ended up with extra vocals. In Los Angeles “Interscope let us use their studio,” he notes. “Mary J. Blige recorded in New Orleans. Britney Spears in Thousand Oaks, I think. Pink in Santa Barbara. MNEK recorded at home in London. Selena recorded in her studio bus. Dan Reynolds recorded in his home. Adam Lambert was in Luxembourg. Ty Herndon the country star was in Spain. Kacey Musgraves, Nashville. Everyone just got it done.

While industry analysts anticipate his reign will come to an end next week due to some stiff competition form The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Drake’s streaming numbers have continued to keep him paces above the pack.
