Rough-but-smooth male vocal quartet Jagged Edge formed in Atlanta, consisting of superposable twin brothers Brandon "Case Dinero" Casey and Brian "Brasco" Casey, wHO had stirred from their native Hartford, CT; Kyle Norman (aka "Nimble"), whom they'd met through christian church activities; and Richard Wingo (aka "Wingo Dollar"), a late improver to the group suggested by Xscape's Kandi Burruss, wHO took their demonstration to superproducer Jermaine Dupri. Jagged Edge signed to Dupri's Columbia-distributed So So Def label and in the summer of 1997 released their debut single, "The Way That You Talk," featuring appearances by Dupri and Da Brat; it reached the Top 40 of the R&B chart and was as well a pop chart submission. Early in 1998, Jagged Edge released their outset album, A Jagged Era, which went gold and spawned the Top 20 R&B, Top 40 pop come to "Gotta Be." Their succeeding individual, "He Can't Love U," appeared in the fall down of 1998 and reached the Top Five of the R&B chart and the Top 20 of the pop chart, sledding gold in the march. It prefaced the group's moment album, J.E. Heartbreak, which topped the R&B chart and hit the Top Ten of the pop chart, marketing over 2,000,000 copies and spawning the number unitary R&B hits "Let's Get Married" (besides Top 20 pop) and "Promise" (likewise Top Ten pop). By the time of the waiver of Jagged Edge's third album, Scraggy Little Thrill, in late June 2001, its leadoff single, "Where the Party At" (featuring Nelly), was nearing the R&B Top Ten and was in the pop Top 40. 2003's Strong and 2006's Jaggy Edge followed. For 2007's The Baby Makin' Project, the grouping switched to Island, merely Dupri had since taken up the post of president at the label's urban division, making the passage from Columbia a welcomed and natural one.
