The Scott sisters' father, Rev. Randolf Scott, was part of the 1970s R&B group Scott Three. The sisters sang at church throughout their childhoods while being trained by their father. In 1990, they met the other two members, Burruss and Cottle, in College Park, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta.

Music career
They first sang at Jermaine Dupri's birthday party in 1991 and later signed to his label, So So Def Recordings. They released their debut album, Hummin' Comin' At 'Cha, in October of 1993. The album featured their debut single, "Just Kickin' It", which reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, along with the other singles "Tonight", "Understanding", and "Love On My Mind".
Xscape's sophomore album, Off the Hook, was released in July of 1995. It featured the #1 hit "Who Can I Run To" (a cover of the song originally recorded by The Jones Girls) along with singles "Feels So Good", "Can't Hang", and "Do You Want To". During the next few years, they collaborated with different artists such as female rapper MC Lyte on the song "Keep On Keepin' On" and pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey on the Mr. Dupri Mix of her #1 song, "Always Be My Baby", which also featured rapper Da Brat.
They released their third album, Traces of My Lipstick, in May of 1998. It featured the singles "The Arms Of The One Who Loves You", "My Little Secret", "Am I Dreamin'", and "Softest Place on Earth". After the release of this album, the group parted ways.
Then after a five year hiatus Xscape returned to the radio airwaves. With three platinum albums and a slew of top 40 singles under their belt, the sultry R&B quartet, Xscape, is ready to release yet another spicy, seductive album, currently entitled Unchained. Sisters LaTocha and Tamika Scott have reunited with Tameka “Tiny” Cottle, and have added a new member, Keisha Miles, to round out their signature sound.
Xscape has been busy booking live performances across the nation following the growing success of “What’s Up”, the first single off the new album. The group recently opened for Alicia Keys in Houston and just performed on 100.3 The Beat’s 15th Anniversary Birthday Bash at the Universal Amphitheater.

middleman ent.
Distinctive huh
Jay Washington
Tamika has such an amazing voice 🥰🥰
Only XSCAPE & EN VOGUE can pull off a group with 4 LEAD SINGERS!!!!
vatricegeorge
@JylFyl409 so I guess you think Diana Ross is an amazing singer because she was the lead on the Supremes albums. All of her contemporaries knew she didn't have the best voice in the group. Did you hear Kandi battling Shamea on rhoa? Dleeping with the boss or and or being favored by the boss gets you trh lead on songs.
JylFyl409
@vatricegeorge WRONG! Xscape can definitely out-sing brown stone any one of them! & if this is true why is Kandi’s voice leading on most of Xscape’s hits??? They definitely have 4 LEAD singers in their group! You don’t have to like Kandi’s voice but to say she can’t sing is fundamentally incorrect
Holli Coburn
Right😊❤
vatricegeorge
Only Envogue and Brownstone could pull off 4 lead singers who are equally skilled and super strong singers. Tamika and Tocha voices are superior in this group. Tiny has a good singing voice and could definitely lead a song.
Calvin S
Kandi’s voice always stands out in the chorus …..its ear candy on this song
Shelia Evans
When you don't sing lead on a song but you hear your voice everywhere in the song. You go Kandi Burrass Tucker
Nakita Whiteside
Love Kandi❤
