Jagged Edge are a R&B vocal group from Atlanta who formed in 1996. They comprise identical twin brothers Brandon and Brian Casey, formerly known as Case Dinero and Brasco, respectively, Kyle Norman, formerly known as Quick, and Richard Wingo, formerly known as Wingo Dollar$.
The quartet borrowed their name from the title of a 1985 movie starring Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges. "At the time we had a name that nobody liked, including us," Brandon Casey recalled to Billboard magazine. "Then another male group came out of Atlanta calling themselves A Few Good Men. That started me looking at movie titles. Jagged Edge had no significant meaning at the time. I just loved the sound of the name. And we adapted it to mean rough around the edges... that was kind of our story."
It was Kandi Burruss of Xscape who brought Jagged Edge to the attention of Jermaine Dupri. The Atlanta producer signed them to his Columbia Records distributed imprint, So So Def Recordings in 1997.
Jagged Edge are mostly famous for their marital ballads like "Let's Get Married" and "Promise." They achieved seven Top 20 Hot 100 hits in the early 2000s.
Their 2000 tune "Let's Get Married" won the Soul Train Award for Best R&B/Soul Single by a Band, Duo or Group in 2001.
Brandon and Brian Casey write the bulk of Jagged Edge's songs. The twin brothers have also penned material for the likes of Usher and Toni Braxton.
