Jagged Edge is an R&B vocal group whose early lineup joined brothers Brian and Brandon Casey with Kyle Norman and Richard Wingo. Work with producer Jermaine Dupri helped establish a recording career beginning with A Jagged Era. J.E. Heartbreak followed, with Promise becoming part of its ballad repertoire. Jagged Little Thrill included the more uptempo Where the Party At, and later albums included Hard and a self-titled release.
