I appreciate iTunes because before, when an album wasn’t on the shelves anymore, you just can’t get the album any more. Or you gotta dig it up or go find it in the used bin. Now you can always get “Love” by myself or “I Changed My Mind” or “I Should’ve Cheated” or all these songs that I came out with ten years ago. I think that’s the upside to iTunes.

 Keyshia Cole showers love on Apple’s iTunes music outlet recently, weighing in on the company and its importance in the music industry during her guest spot on ‘HuffPost Live.’

Not surprising when one remembers just how well 2012’s ‘Enough of no Love‘ did on the outlet, her comments where shared as part of her conversation whipped up to promote her new LP ‘Point of No Return’, a body of work featuring songs written and produced by Elijah Blake and DJ Mustard and visuals starring ‘America’s Next Top Model’s Don Benjamin.

Watch her at work below…

Over the last seven years, That Grape Juice has established itself as one of the net’s most renowned sources for Urban Pop music. Indeed, it’s become trademark for us to shine light on artists – both known and on the rise. This week sees us spotlight the latter, as we kick off the first ever Freshly Squeezed Week.

As such, we’ll be introducing a talented new name each day of this week.

Next up is…Newella Cruella!

Nicki Minaj has presented herself as a competitive Madonna, unimpressed by the premature and illegitimate rap children that now play in her castle. However, she’s now faced with a femcee she’d be hard pressed not to claim as her own…

*Enter Newella Cruella*

Affectionally billing Minaj as the Queen of Rap and herself as the genre’s Disney Princess, the lyricist first burst onto the scene when she uploaded a cover version of Nicki’s ‘Dope Dealer’ verse to YouTube. The clip – with its unique flow, Mean Girl-derived content, and dynamite delivery – facilitated the birth of an ever-growing following that have made Newella one of the ‘net’s fasting rising stars.

Find out what the buzz is about above and below…
