Tonight is “the” night for Kelly Rowland.

The Grammy winner’s new talent search ‘Chasing Destiny’ airs tonight at 10.30pm ET on BET.

Rowland, who has sold over 90 million records in her career, has been pounding the promotional pavement hard in support of the show – which she fronts with renown creative director Frank Gatson.

Stopping by The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 on her latest stop, Ms. Kelly spilled on the show (which certainly seems to have its host network very excited). She also spoke on motherhood, marriage, and new music.

Much like his ‘FourFiveSeconds’ co-star Rihanna, the campaign surrounding Kanye West‘s latest opus, ‘The Life Of Pablo,’ has been a rollercoaster to say the least.

Despite being greeted by critical acclaim from music industry insiders to fans alike, the album’s sales have been…umm…interesting considering it’s only been available for stream via Tidal and for purchase via his own official web site.

Well, that was, until last week.

Now with spins being earned on Spotify, Apple Music, and more, West may very well be ready to see that “rollercoaster” ride him right to the top of the Billboard 200.  Challenging next week’s top contenders for the spot – Zayn Malik, Jhene Aiko/Big Sean, and Rih, ‘Pablo’ is set to see new life breathed into it.  The feat, if accomplished, will be accompanied by some history-making news:

As club cuts go, few pack as potent a punch as Yo Gotti‘s ‘Down In The DM.’

A radio and Billboard smash, the track – love or loathe it – has been cited as a cultural reflector of today’s social media climate.

Already a respected entity in Hip-Hop circles, the song has catapulted the Epic Records rapper onto an international stage – especially when paired with the buzz about the Nicki Minaj assisted remix.

That Grape Juice sat down with the Memphis native to chat about the song’s success, its housing album ‘The Art Of Hustle,’ signing with LA Reid and more.

Cop a gander of Beyonce!

The dominating diva appears a-front of the May 2016 issue of Elle France.

Last week That Grape Juice revealed that the singer will, as part of an epic deal with the publication, cover 45-editions of the magazine.

At the time, it was unknown whether different covers to the US and UK ones would be serviced. Yet, just days later, the answer appears to be “yes!”

As reported, the features are part of an unprecedented promotional push for the 34-year-old’s new Topshop clothing live Ivy Park – a joint-ownership venture between King Bey and the fashion giant.
