June’s Diary are making all the right waves.

It’s been a year since the quintet were formed on hit BET series ‘Chasing Destiny’ and now they are striving to impact beyond that platform.

Currently putting the finishing touches on their debut mixtape, the ladies have served up a titillating taste of the project in the form of ‘Stay’ – a cover of the Jodeci classic.

Billed as being part of a broader homage to the male groups before them, the group unveiled the the Derek Blanks directed video for the track yesterday.

Now, That Grape Juice brings you an EXCLUSIVE behind the scenes look at how the visual was pieced together. Check it out above.

‘Scandal’ is back!

Forming a central part of the revived TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday) block of programming, the political drama promises (and is already delivering) many an explosive twist and turn for its sixth season. Election, anyone?!

The envy of many a R&B hopeful Trey Songz is back with a scorching new visual!

Jussie Smollett is perhaps most notable for his breakout role as Jamal Lyon on FOX‘s soapy drama ‘Empire.’

However, the talented singer finds himself on socially conscious terrain with new release ‘F.U.W.’

An acronym for ‘F**ked Up World,’ the song and its accompanying video sees Smollett reflect on the tense political climate the world is engulfed in.

And while Donald Trump isn’t mentioned explicitly, there are numerous overtones directed his way.

For, Smollett sings:

“Build a wall, it won’t keep us from loving each other. Rewrite the laws… you won’t keep us from loving each other.”

While elsewhere, he belts:

“Why we back in the past? It’s the same script, different cast. All these alternative facts. Catch me outside, how ’bout that?”

The acting singer says the release, which he directed, isn’t a single, but more so a statement.
