ride-along-2-thatgrapejuice

After cruising to the top of the box office with ‘Ride Along’ in 2014, Kevin Hart and Ice Cube are accelerating full speed with its sequel.

Aptly titled ‘Ride Along 2,’ the buddy-comedy journey’s to Miami for its second outing and promises a host of twists and turns as the dynamic duo go about taking down a drug cartel.

The entire team behind the original are back on-board, including director Tim Story and producer Will Packer – both of whom have worked extensively with Hart on his seemingly endless output.

Co-stars include Sherri Shepherd and Tika Sumpter.

Due in theaters on January 15th 2016 (MLK Weekend, like its predecessor), the first trailer was unleashed moments ago. Check it out below…

How she marks her arrival? By announcing the release of a new EP which features the numbers ‘Blame You’ & ‘Feel Lit’ penned and produced by the singer, Kareem James, Jordan Lewis and David Asante.

For many, messy best defines the disaster that has been Rihanna‘s eighth album campaign.

Singles have been flying out left and right, with few sticking commercially and fewer making an impact (pop)culturally.

Could it be because she’s readying a major resurgence next month?

Another day, another Jordin Sparks jam.

With the August 21st release of the singer’s ‘Right Here Right Now’ album strutting nearer, the American Idol alum is allowing fans to sip on the LP’s new songs.

Next up is the bouncy ‘Boyz In The Hood.’
