The group is made up of twin lead singers Brian Casey (nicknamed Brasco) and Brandon Casey (Case Dinero) (both born October 13, 1975), Kyle Norman (Quick), and Richard Wingo (Wingo).

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

No, I'm done cheating
