When asked about what to expect from the new release, Mo’ states:
I’m just fighting for the restoration of R&B. It’s not as respected and as loved as it used to be.
That’s why I call it ‘Code Red’… that’s why I dyed my hair red. I took the whole movement serious because this music really saved my life and I think it will for some other people.?? I think we need some balance.
Monica also referenced a few other talented singers who are also helping restore the genre like Fantasia and Jazmine Sullivan.

The explosive season finale of ‘Being Mary Jane‘ aired last night and I can honestly say, it was quite impressive!
The episode is appropriately titled ‘Purging and Cleansing’ as our embattled heroine Mary Jane Paul is faced with a series of events that lead to an epiphany of sorts as she rids herself of toxic energy in her life.
BET Synopsis:
Mary Jane goes on a date with GG and is put on the spot; David’s mom has a heart-to-heart with MJ; Kara finds herself in hot water at work.
For the record, that synopsis doesn’t do this episode justice AT ALL.? Between CeCe’s poetic justice and Neicy’s brush with the law, this episode was the most explosive yet!
