Ever keen on keeping the masses abreast of fresh and/or often underrated talent, That Grape Juice presents ‘The Spill’ – a renewed look at not-so-new, yet active, acts.  Much like its ‘Freshly Squeezed’ sister segment, this assay aims to put the magnifying glass on talents who may not appeal to the buying public on a broad scale yet are still serving material that could easily spin side-by-side with some of today’s top hits.

Covering a kaleidoscope of genres, ‘The Spill’ is set to feature some names you probably know and love as well as some you’ll (soon) be glad to know.

Our tertiary entry comes in with the jams of Jon B.  Before Robin Thicke ruled the airwaves as the king of blue eyed soul, another crooner was the face of R&B’s melanin-deprived divos.  Taking a mentor in the very man many claimed his voice was identical to (Babyface), B.’s 90s career skyrocketed with hits like ‘Are You Still Down’ (featuring Tupac), ‘I Do‘, and of course, fan favorite, ‘They Don’t Know’.  Take a listen below:

While B. has yet to equal or surpass the success of his 1997 sophomore album ‘Cool Relax’ (parent album of ‘They Don’t Know’), he has since released 5.  His most recent album ‘Comfortable Swagg’ (February 14th), found the crooner reminding listeners that while not dominating charts, there are still some hopelessly devoted to the genre.

With Rowland being a surprise guest at the Fox Theatre show, naturally fans were whipped into a frenzy as she emerged. And you will too when you peep the performance!

‘Formal Invite’ singer Ray J invited many-a-major media outlet to be the first to hear his broken silence over the mourning of Whitney Houston.  As fans know, the ‘I Will Always Love You’ hitmaker and Ray were long rumored to be in on-and-off again relationship.  And, as a close friend to the Norwood family, Ray and sister Brandy were undoubtedly shaken by the loss, which came on the latter’s birthday.

BET should have thought twice before opening up their doors to Lil Kim again.

For, after turning a blind eye to a jab she poked at them last summer, today saw the network invite the Queen Bee on their ‘106&Park,‘ to promote her new single and discuss the 15th anniversary of Biggie Smalls‘ death.

However, in what has dampened in what should have been a ‘picture perfect’ promo stint, Kim has hit out at the show’s host, Rocsi Diaz– labeling her ‘disrespectful’.

Sources close to The Real Housewives of Atlanta camp are buzzing with news that Lil Wayne‘s ex-wife Toya Carter Wright is in talks to join the cast for season 5. Kandi is currently edging herself out of “Atlanta”‘s door with her brand new series and Kim’s spin-off is currently filming–so rumors of new cast members come at no surprise. While there has been whispers of Marlo Hampton and even Keisha “Rudy” Knight Pulliam joining the fold, Wright is allegedly the first to seal the deal.

We here at ‘TGJ’ are all for Bravo’s newest addition to the family! As seen from her previous dabbles in reality TV, Toya is a beautiful woman with an incredibly infectious personality that makes for great TV. Besides being the former wife and c0-parent with Lil Wayne, the 28-year-old entrepreneur is the spokeswoman for Ampro hair gel, a New York Times bestselling author and the former star of her own BET reality show. Get it, girl.

Savagely honest, in your face, and insanely funny, ‘The Boondocks’ rocked the Urban arena upon launching in 2005. And for three seasons served up laughs and critical reflection in earnest.

However, 2009 saw the hit series wrap with a bang – after its most stinging season yet (see: Tyler Perry).

And though that was purported to be its final curtain call, speculation has mounted in the years following about a Boondocks revival.

Indeed, cast-members and those affiliated with the Sony Pictures production have routinely teased a comeback. A comeback which is growing increasingly likely, as per the words actress Regina King recently.
