Dr. Dre is back.

Though the legendary MC has been omnipresent with his entrepreneurial endeavours, musically he hasn’t released new material in over 13 years.

That’s all set to change next Friday (August 7th), when the Beats mogul blazes back onto the scene with ‘Compton: A Soundtrack By Dr. Dre.’ 

More details on the project’s unique concept below…

Ciara and Russell Wilson are officially a power couple.

As reported this week, the R&B chanteuse’s new beau signed a lucrative deal with the Seattle Seahawks which will see him net a colossal $84 million over four years.

And while there’s plenty to celebrate, there’s also ample work to do.

The 26-year-old was snapped doing exactly that at an NFL Training Camp this weekend and was cheered on by his girl and her one year old son Future Zahir (whose biological father is rapper Future).

Little man really does seem to have taken to Russell! Adorable.

Danity Kane may be dead and buried but the ladies of dumblonde find new life with the release of their new video for the song ‘Dreamsicle.’

The duo is made up of two-thirds of Kane’s latest incarnation and heads towards Top 40 ground with the Alfredo Flores-directed video as their former bandmate Dawn Richard enjoys success in her own lane with her more R&B flavoured material.

Will the video do enough to pull in commendable sales once their self-titled drops on September 25th?

In 2005 the rapper Jay-Z introduced the singers Rihanna & Teairra Mari as part of his plans to replicate Mathew Knowles’ success with his then girlfriend Beyonce.

Since then Rihanna has risen to become one of the last decade’s more prolific artists, recently seeing her global record sales cross the 150 million mark.

Unfortunately, such success evaded Ms. Mari who has seen her career reduced to a pile of Urban tabloid flavoured mess with help from an embarrassing run on VH1’s ‘Love & Hip Hop Hollywood.’

Now, her career has reportedly taken another turn for the worst.

Literally.

falling into you celine tgj replay

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ features, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest reflective segment to act as a written quest to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday. Unlike its TGJ retrospective predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.

This week, we’ll fall in love all over again with Celine Dion‘s 1996 chart-topping album ‘Falling Into You’ – one of the best selling albums of all time…
