About
Jagged Edge is an American R&B group from Atlanta, Georgia. The group, initially signed to record producer Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Recordings, is best known for their string of hit singles including "Let's Get Married" and "Where the Party At" (featuring Nelly), most of which were produced by Dupri. The group's members include identical twin lead singers Brian and Brandon Casey as well as Richard Wingo and Kyle Norman. The group's debut album, A Jagged Era (1997), performed modestly at the time of its release but achieved gold status; however, their subsequent albums until 2007 all became commercial successes—debuting within the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
Wingo was a late addition to the group, added after a recommendation from Kandi Burruss of Xscape. Burruss was also the one who brought the group to the attention of Dupri, who signed them to his Columbia Records distributed imprint, So So Def Recordings. The name Jagged Edge is derived from the lyrics of the beginning of RZA's verse on the song "Snakes" on rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard's debut album Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version: "Jagged Edge, Rockhead God, hard as Stonehenge..."

Jagged Edge est un quartet de musique RnB et soul originaire d'Atlanta en Géorgie aux États-Unis. Le groupe est composé des jumeaux Brian et Brandon Casey, de Richard Wingo et de Kyle Norman.
Ils ont été découverts par Kandi Burruss du groupe Xscape dans le milieu des années 1990 qui les a présenté à son producteur de l'époque Jermaine Dupri. Ce dernier les compare aux Boyz II Men et les signe sur son label So So Def Recordings. En 1997 sors le premier album du groupe A Jagged Era chez So So Def Recordings/Columbia Records.
En 2003, le groupe se sépare de JD et So So Def pour continuer seul chez Columbia Records « pour mûrir et montrer ce dont nous sommes capables sans super producteur » dixit Richard Wingo. Finalement Jagged Edge et So So Def se retrouvent dès 2007 chez Island Records pour le 6e album du groupe intitulé Baby Making Project sorti le 25 septembre 2007 et entièrement produit par Jermaine Dupri.
Depuis 2009, ils sont officiellement signés sur le label Slip-N-Slide.
En février 2013 le groupe renoue avec Dupri et d'anciens artistes de So So Def pour fêter les 20 ans du label lors d'un grand concert à Atlanta.
