Rita Ora and Charli XCX have been ‘Doing It’ big on the charts of late, so naturally it figures why the radio rulers have teamed up for their new single.

Lifted from Charli’s debut album ‘Sucker’, the track continues to garner spins aplenty.

In a bid to give it an added boost, the ladies took centre-stage on The Graham Norton Show tonight to perform the cut.

Watch their showing below…

Drake continues to give his rivals good cause to pause and reflect on their careers today, doing so with the release of his surprise EP ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.’

For, hours after its release, the project is now predicted to cross sales of 500,000 units by the end of this weekend and top the Billboard 200 by the time next week’s chart swings by.

Indeed, despite being sold as a mixtape, its original production has some given some industry spectators reason to believe it is actually an album, set to help the rapper cut ties with the Cash Money music group  as it faces heat from its banner act (and his mentor) Lil Wayne.

Your thoughts?

Check it out after the jump…

With a coveted Dove Award win, Grammy and Stellar Award nominations, critical acclaim, and nearly 20 years of memorable music to their credit, to say that Contemporary gospel trio Virtue have made their mark on the gospel music scene at large would be an understatement.

Introducing a fresh take on the fusion of Urban and gospel music with their 1997 self-titled debut, the group – comprised of sisters Ebony Holland, Karima Kibble, and Heather Martin – embarked on a journey of sonic excellence that would lead them from humble Southern beginnings to the top of gospel charts with signature hits like “Get Ready,” “Put Your War Clothes On,” “Til’ You Believe,” “Lord, I Lift My Hands,” and more.

Now, with a trail of gospel gems in their rearview, the sensational sister act is looking to forge a new path with their long-awaited comeback project. Led by “You Are,” their new Billboard top 30 single, the stunning ladies of Virtue sit down with That Grape Juice to discuss their re-release ‘Testimony:  Reloaded,’ the new album that’s still in the works, and more.

Incessantly pit against one another, Beyonce and Rihanna put on a united front last night in New York at Kanye West’s Adidas Originals x Yeezy Season fashion show.

Both in attendance to support the rapper’s inaugural presentation with the sports giant, the ladies were joined by Bey’s husband Jay Z and Ye’s wife Kim Kardashian (who brought along daughter North West).

Cute pic. Unfortunately for Rih, though, talent isn’t contagious.

tyga-drake-thatgrapejuice

Months after Tyga took to VIBE magazine to announce his departure from his Young Money label home and slam his fellow YMCMB labelmates Nicki Minaj & Drake (click here if you missed that), the ‘Faded’ rapper is now feeling the burn from a clapback found on ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.’

Unfamiliar with the title?

We were too until late Wednesday night when Drizzy dropped the mixtape unexpectedly to iTunes, sending his faithful fans into a frenzy.  That frenzy was heightened, however, once listeners perused the record to find a less-than-subtle jab at Tyga and 17-year-old girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, in the song ‘6pm In New York.’

See what he said below:

Drake is clearly trying to break the internet.

Sending the net aflutter with the drop of his latest project, ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late,’ similar to the rollout styles of David Bowie and Beyonce‘s latest releases, the set is soaring up Itunes as we speak from fans not knowing if it was a full length studio album or just a mixtape.

Unlike the duo above, he at least lent some form of warning when he shared a 15-minute short film ‘Jungle’ (seen below).  Have you been to iTunes to get your copy or do you need more convincing?

Tuck in below and let us know:
