Wingo was a late addition to the group, added after Kandi Burruss of Xscape recommended he be added. Kandi was also the one who brought the group to the attention of Dupri. The group, with a style similar to New Edition, Jodeci, and Dru Hill, has had a number of hit singles, many of which are produced by Dupri.
Identical twin brothers Brian Casey and Brandon Casey, Kyle Norman, and Richard Wingo--known collectively as Jagged Edge--have built the group's career and reputation from one simple premise: make great music and make sure the music's for real.
2) A melodic rock band, Jagged Edge UK featuring guitarist Myke Gray. Released their debut EP, Trouble in early 1990, followed by the full-length Fuel For Your Soul .
3) Drum & Bass collaboration of Optical & Ryme Tyme from the United Kingdom

I know my girl think that I'd never be ready
But I'mma do all I can to let her know I'm ready
'Cause really, she is worth it!
From now on I'm takin' all it costs
From now on we won't get lost on our way home
My time is running out, I know
Somebody then her
I just wanna be the one who stands between
Anyone who don't do 'er right
I'll be there like every night
Tryina make this girl see the light
Hope that she sees a thug when she sees me
Hope that she sees all this love I'm filled with
All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is
Came up with this little plan
Put her hope back in me!
I hope that sure she sees a thug when she sees me
I hope that she sees all this love that we should be
All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is
Came up with this little plan
Put her hope back in me!
I see the pain he put in her face (Put in her face)
Show me where he's at let me put him in his place
I'm tryina ball out but girl I know
That is a gain back to put her hope in me
Girl, Valentine day will be like everyday
And birthdays will came around like everyday
By now I'm starting to built her hope (starting to build her hope)
And I just hope she sees me
Hope that she sees the thug when she sees me
Hope that she sees all this love I'm filled with (and I'm feeling)
All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is
Came up with this little plan
Put her hope back in me!
Hope she will just see a thug when she sees me
Hope that she sees all this love that we should be
All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is
Came up with this little plan
Put her hope back in me!
Tryina to love you better than you've ever been loved
Tryina touch you better than you've ever been touched
When it comes to sex you know I keep turning up
To a place you've never been, girl!
Hope she don't just see a thug now
Hope that she see all this love
Hope she don't just see a thug now
Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me
Hope that she sees all this love I'm filled with
All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is
Came up with this little plan
Put her hope back in me!
Hope she don't just see a thug when she sees me
Hope she sees all this love that we should be
All I wanna do is, all I wanna do is
Came up with this little plan
Put her hope back in me!
The song "Hope" by Jagged Edge is about a man who has been playing around the streets for a long time, but now he wants his girl to know that he is ready to give her everything she deserves. He acknowledges that she may have lost hope in him, but he wants to restore her faith in their relationship. He is willing to make any effort to make her see that he is worth loving and that there is potential for a future together.
This song talks about the pain that the girl has gone through before this moment and shows that the man believes he can be everything that the girl needs to see.
