The #BardiGang undoubtedly rejoiced at news Cardi B was set to drop not one, but two music videos this month (click here to read more) to keep the momentum of her chart-topping debut album, ‘Invasion of Privacy,’ continuing its invasion of the Billboard 200’s top 10.

Now, just two days after dropping the long-awaited visual to ‘Be Careful’ (co-starring Keith Carlos), the hit rapper’s unveiled a sneak peek at the forthcoming accompanying video to ‘I Like It.’  The tune, which features J. Balvin and Bad Bunny, has already proven itself a fan favorite ahead of the forthcoming clip as evidenced by its top 10 debut.

Will a video help it surpass its #8 peak on the Hot 100?  Take a look at a preview and let us know what you think:

Welcome to the latest TGJ Roundtable!

Over the years, That Grape Juice has established a distinguished voice that – whether loved or loathed – sparks discussion, debate, and on occasion drama!

Though comprised of seasoned writers who share a similar outlook on Urban Pop culture, the idiosyncrasies of the TGJ team members often lend for quite heated debates “behind the scenes” about the hottest topics.

Now, we give you a front row seat to the show. In a format similar to ‘The View’ or ‘The Real’, TGJ editors – Sam, David, Rashad, and Joe – get real in a very candid way.

Today’s roundtable topic asks each anchor their thoughts on the…

Kanye West has been somewhat silent since rocking the net with a series of attention-grabbing tweets.

Explaining his absence upon his return to social media today, he revealed that he’s been locked in the lab finalizing the slate of new albums he has upcoming.

Indeed, as Yeezy announced last month, he’s on the cusp of releasing his own long-awaited solo set on June 1st, which will be followed a week later by a joint project with Kid Cudi. Thereafter, there’s Teyana Taylor‘s sophomore album (which Ye executive produced).

To whet appetites (and re-affix the focus on the music after a rollercoaster month), the rapper took to Twitter to tease the tracklist for his project and reveal the full songlist fr collabo record ‘Kids See Ghost.’

SZA is a busy belle.

For, all at once, the songbird is working on a deluxe edition of her debut ‘CTRL,’ a follow-up project, and is still churning out videos for the breakthrough album.

SZA took to Instagram to preview the visual, which co-stars her mom Audrey Rowe and Donald Glover (whose ‘This Is America’ video she made a brief cameo in).

Christina Aguilera is freeing herself from restriction, restraint, and regret on new album ‘Liberation.’

Due June 15th via RCA, the hotly anticipated set (which features production from Kanye West, MNEK, Julia Michaels, and Anderson .Paak) marks Xtina’s first body of work since 2012’s ‘Lotus.’

Rooted in soulful sounds and hard-hitting Hip-Hop beats, the LP is billed as a strip-back of the glossy varnish. Instead, it’s touted as a true return to artistic expression for the superstar songbird.

And she echoes as much in a new promotional video for the album.

Christened ‘Where’s Maria’ (the latter of which is the diva’s middle name), the digital short follows the 37-year-old as she explains the rooting of the ‘Accelerate’ led project and why it’s so important for her.

She also also features previews of new songs – including rumored “main” single ‘Fall In Line.’

The Weeknd surprised fans over the weekend when he dropped an unexpected EP, ‘My Dear Melancholy.’

The six song set, highlighted by production from the likes of Mike WILL Made-It, Skrillex, Frank Dukes, and more while only boasting one feature courtesy of French DJ Gesaffelstein, quickly shot to the top of digital sales tallies (where it currently sits as of time reported).  And, with all chart placement factors considered – sales & streaming – the project has been predicted to easily top the Billboard 200 as well (click here to read more on that).

In a bid to ensure a lengthy distance between himself and his nearest competitor, the 3-time Grammy winner has teamed with Spotify to exclusively offer the mixtape’s first two videos – ‘Call My Name’ & ‘Try Me.’  See them both inside:

Cardi B is finally ready to unwrap the video for ‘Bartier Cardi.’

Released last December as the follow-up to ‘Bodak Yellow,’ the club jam soared on streaming platforms but sat without a visual as the 25-year-old plugged Bruno Mars collaboration ‘Finesse.’

An initial video premiere date was set earlier this month, but it came and went with Cardi citing the need for additional editing as the cause for the delay.

Fans needn’t fret, though. Because it’s been confirmed that the clip will arrive in a mere matter of days.

Packaged as a three-parter, the second episode aired last night and ended with a shocking revelation from Quad‘s husband – Dr. Gregg.
