Jagged Edge

A contemporary R&B vocal group adept at ballads and uptempo songs alike, Jagged Edge are an enduring factor in Atlanta's status as a musical hot spot. Following Xscape, Da Brat, and Kriss Kross, they became one of the key acts on Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label in 1997 with the sophisticated slow jam "I Gotta Be," their first of six Top 40 pop hits. From 1999 through 2007, brothers and songwriting partners Brandon and Brian Casey, along with fellow founding members Kyle Norman and Richard Wingo, put five consecutive albums in the Top Ten of the Billboard 200. These included the multi-platinum J.E. Heartbreak and the platinum Jagged Little Thrill, and featured some of the era's biggest R&B crossover hits, including "Let's Get Married," the Grammy-nominated Nelly collaboration "Where the Party At," and "Walked Outta Heaven." They scored two more Top Ten R&B/hip-hop albums with 2011's The Remedy and 2014's J.E. Heartbreak II, then launched their HardCase label in 2017 with Layover. J.E. have since followed the 2020 double album A Jagged Love Story with 2025's All Original Parts, Vol. 1, titled in acknowledgment of their 30th year together without a change in membership -- a very rare accomplishment.
