Future just may be the hardest working man in the rap game.

Releasing four albums in five years (excluding a multitude of mixtapes), the rapper/producer has delivered his fair share of hits to the Billboard Hot 100 in his brief career.  Similarly, as his recent successes aboard the Billboard 200 show, his fans are by no means complaining about the wealth of music he’s lent.  In fact, if the commercial response to his latest project – surprise album ‘Evol’ – is any indication, they simply can’t get enough.

After two consecutive number 1 stays in 2015 (see:  ‘DS2’ and the Drake-assisted ‘What A Time To Be Alive’), it appears fans of Ciara‘s baby’s daddy should expect yet another check in atop the album charts in his near future…

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to take our readers on a journey back to TV and Film’s glorious past.

Before Disney made stars out of Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, the actress Melissa Joan Hart stood tall as one of television’s most sought after players.

Following her successful run on Nickelodeon’s ‘Clarissa Explains It All‘, the thespian was called on to lead a TV movie named ‘Sabrina the Teenage Witch.’

Produced by Viacom, the ‘Bewitched’-inspired series told the tale of a girl named Sabrina who learns that she is a witch on her sixteen birthday and moves in with her aunts and their talking cat Salem who guide her as she juggles school, romance and all the weird and wonderful of magic has to throw at her.

Its run came to an end of April 24th 2003, but not before pulling in ratings that made it one of the highest-rated shows in television (its premiere picked up 17 million viewers) and cement itself in the memories of many a 90s baby.

Ready to take a walk down memory lane?

christina milian liar video thatgrapejuice

Christina Milian delivers a stinging anti-Valentine’s Day anthem in the form of new tune ‘Liar,’ which can now boast a video treatment.

An intimate affair that details the singer’s frustration with her unfaithful lover, the timeliness of the song and clip’s release also comes on the heels of her breakup with longtime beau Lil Wayne (amidst ongoing rumors of his infidelity during their courtship).

‘Liar’ leads the latest charge for consumer interest for ‘4U’ – Milian’s first lengthy musical project in nearly 10 years (see:  2006’s ‘So Amazin’).  Following the tunes ‘Rebel’ and ‘Do It,’ will ‘Liar’ be the singer’s true return to commercial relevance?
