As we’re sure you know, we here at That Grape Juice place a high premium on spotlighting great new talent. Naturally, then, it was only a matter of time before we discussed singing sisters Jessica and Ivana (more commonly known as VanJess). Indeed, some of you may remember when we featured the teen duo on our weekly Cover Star series two years ago (boy, does time fly!)

Since then, the the ladies have continued to amass a vast Youtube following, blessing thousands of followers this week with a special nostalgic showing. One which made this late 80’s baby remember exactly why this very site exists – great music.

Oh how the 90’s were the good ol’ days! Enjoy!

Lloyd‘s latest LP ‘King Of Hearts’ may not be ruling the charts, but that could soon be set to change with the debut of  ‘Dedication To My Ex’ – the latest visual from the album.  A critic and fan favorite, the Andre 3000-assisted cut showcases Lloyd’s often overlooked vocal ability, while (of course), allowing the R&B crooner to stay close to a topic that is near and dear to many-a-young R&B crooner’s heart.

Premiering moments ago on 106 & Park, the Brian Barber-directed clip sees Young Goldie shine with felines in a retro-50s/60s setting while being accompanied by a rapping cat (yes, you read that right) and a cameo from TV personality Wayne Brady.

Case, point, example the 4th part of her ‘Behind The Scenes: Beyonce’s 4 Intimate Nights’ webisode, which was released via Citibank moments ago.
