DaBaby fans may have had their eyes peeled for an early August release of his latest studio album ‘Baby on Baby 2’ (as he promised in July), but he’s hoping they’ll be patient as he puts the finishing touches on the project.

In an effort to tide them over until the new date is released, the rapper (born Jonathan Kirk) is serving ‘Waitress’ – the latest taste of new music set to line the LP.

“Yesterday, I f*cked a waitress / I came outside with my plate, she was waitin’ on me (Uh) / And y’all ain’t talkin’ ’bout sh*t / She be tellin’ me to smile when she ride my d*ck,” he raps on the J. Stacks-produced joint.

Coming just days after the controversial ‘Tough Skin’ video (which saw him reenact a crucifixion), look inside to hear ‘Waitress’ and peep its Reel Goats-directed music video.

While Ciara continues to make a mark in music, the singer is amplifying her presence as an entrepreneur too.

As reported, the GRAMMY winner on-boarded as a co-owner of Ten To One Rum last year. And last night (August 18), the star toasted to the brand’s latest touchdown.

CiCi was on-hand at the Gathering Spot in Los Angeles, CA where she joined a number of notable names to celebrate the latest investment in Ten To One. This time via Pronghorn – which has committed to 57 investments in Black-owned spirit brands over the next decade. The central goal? To champion the next generation of Black entrepreneurs, execs, and founders within the spirits sphere.

‘Jump’ performer Ciara was joined by Ten To One founder Marc Farrell, Pronghorn founders Dia Simms, Erin Harris, and Dan Sanborn, as well as Lolo Spencer, Jason Mitchell, and more.

Stefflon Don and Spice link up for flavorsome new collaboration ‘Clockwork.’

The potent pair make a splash with the Beem-produced bop, which serves as the lead release from Steff’s long-awaited album debut ‘Island 54.’ It’s been confirmed that the LP will serve as the first fruit of the star’s new global partnership with BMG (which will jointly release the project with her own imprint 54 London).

Choreographed by the incomparable Parris Goebel, the high-octane visual sees Steff and the Queen of Dancehall deliver like only they can.

Speaking on the release, Steff said:

“This track is a celebration of my Jamaican heritage and I wanted to make sure that shone through in all its elements. From the outfits I designed for the video to collaborating with the Queen of Dancehall herself, Spice. It’s a song made for Carnival; to dance to, drink to and party to. I can’t wait to hear it around London on the sound systems it was made for.”

Readers of That Grape Juice know how passionate we are about music – whether that be past or present.

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.

This week, we want to highlight cuts from Panic! At The Disco, Maren Morris and Zedd, New Hope Club, and Sara Kays.

Already serving a 30-year prison sentence after being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking, R. Kelly is currently on trial for a separate set of federal charges of child pornography and obstruction of justice.

But as he braces himself for the potential bad news to come from that courtroom showdown, one of his alleged former sex abuse victims – Joycelyn Savage – is doubling down on her news that she went half on a baby with the disgraced R&B lgend.

On the promo trail in support of her recently released memoir, ‘Love and Joy of Robert,’ Savage dropped jaws when she admitted she’s not only engaged to Kelly but that the two are expecting a child.

He quickly shut down the report via a rep (as we reported here), but – as revealed via a recent chat with ‘Entertainment Tonight’ – Savage is adamant she’s telling the truth.

As he gears up for the release of his sophomore solo project, the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Father of 4,’ former Migos star Offset has been making his presence felt as of late as a supporting act on songs like ‘Big 14’ (with Moneybagg Yo and Trippie Redd) as well as ‘New to You’ with Calvin Harris, Tinashe, and Normani.

With new song ‘54321,’ produced by Baby Keem, the 30-year-old takes center stage again.

“Thug Life on me like I’m Tupac Shakur (Thug) / Thirty-five K for the seats on the floor (Racks) / Yes, I’m the wave, you don’t gotta shore (Hah) / Starin’ at me, but I don’t want the whore (No) / Skrrt, almost had crashed the ‘Rari (Skrrt) / Jump off the top of the rope like Jeff Hardy (Go),” he raps on the braggadocious track.

Those who thought turning 64-years-old (August 16) would slow Madonna down have another thing coming.

Controversial as ever, the Queen of Pop popped, locked, and dropped inside the pages ‘Paper’ magazine in a racy shoot – lensed by famed photographer Ricardo Gomes – that saw her tongue kissing models, licking their nipples, and so much more.

Interviewed by fellow music royal Nile Rodgers (Chic leader and mastermind behind Madge’s Diamond-selling, 1984 studio album ‘Like a Virgin’), the diva dished on her new greatest hits compilation project ‘Finally Enough Love’ and strolled down memory lane with Nile to discuss their musical history and more.

When not reminscing over yesteryear, the two broached the topic of having a musical reunion – nearly 40 years after launching ‘Virgin’ to the top of the charts.

Just a day before her 30th birthday (August 20), Demi Lovato unleashes her eighth studio album:  ‘HOLY FVCK.’

Abandoning the Pop sounds that have sent her soaring to the top of Pop charts multiple times since her 2008 debut LP ‘Don’t Forget,’ Lovato is hoping her faithful fans don’t forget her first true musical love was Rock music.

Christening ‘HOLY’ as a return to form of sorts, the new project sees Demi dabble in Punk and harder Rock sounds via its lead singles ‘Substance’ and ‘Skin of My Teeth’ – both of which found homes in the top 40 of the Billboard Rock Charts.

Despite coming as her first project to hit shelves without a Hot 100-charting single to its credit, critics have already begun branding the effort her best yet.
