JT and Yung Miami – better known as the City Girls – turned heads Friday (June 9) when they dropped the LL Cool J-sampling bop ‘I Need a Thug,‘ but to the surprise of their devoted fans (affectionately called #Citizens) even more new music was en route.

After wowing festivalgoers at Rolling Loud California with the live introduction of the tune ‘Pinata’ back in March, the Southern duo lift the lid on the official version of the Southside-produced cut.

“P-ssy make him do the cha-cha / He wanna hit it like a piñata (I’m wet like agua) / A piñata (I’m wet like agua), a piñata (I’m wet like agua) / P-ssy make him do the cha-cha,” they rap on the racy track.

Believed to be among the gems set to line their yet-titled third studio album, hear ‘Pinata’ in full inside.

As the June 23 due date of Kelly Clarkson‘s ninth traditional studio album ‘Chemistry’ nears, expect to hear more and more offerings from the highly anticipated set.

Having already whet appetites with previously released singles ‘Me,’ ‘Mine,’ and ‘Favorite Kind of High’ from the 14-track LP, the 3x GRAMMY winner follows with two more tastes of gems set to line the project: ‘I Hate Love’ and ‘Red Flag Collector.’

While the former boasts a guest appearance from EMMY and GRAMMY-winning comedy legend Steve Martin, the latter shines with production from Kelly’s longtime collaborator Jason Halbert.

Ahead of the arrival of ‘Chemistry’ to digital shelves later this month, hop inside to hear live versions of ‘Hate’ and ‘Red’ filmed at Clarkson’s one-night-only performance of the album last month at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles.

J Hus is back and bringing global heavyweight Drake with him.

The British MC and Canadian titan have teamed up for ‘Who Told You’ – which has been served up as the latest taste of Hus’ forthcoming studio album.

Arriving just weeks after his top 15 hit ‘It’s Crazy,’ the pairing has, for many, been long overdue following their on-stage moment at Drizzy’s O2 Arena extravaganza back in 2019.

Remarking on Hus, Drake went on record to say: “They need that music. They need his presence.” Hence, their collaboration is all sorts of apt.

However, unlike our other segments – Retro Rewind, TGJ Replay, and From The Vault – The Pop Stop is the most in-depth look at Pop songs that may have flown under the radar over the last week that you should know, rather they be from music’s biggest stars or those on the rise.
