Music is very much where the mind is, though and Azalea recently announced that single ‘Kream’ will serve as the first taste of ‘Summer.’

Now, she’s amplifying excitement with the EP’s cover reveal. Check it out below…

June’s Diary have issued their newest chapter – and it comes in the form of debut EP ‘All Of Us.’

It’s been quite the journey for the quintet, who first rose to prominence on BET series ‘Chasing Destiny.’
