Jagged Edge with Next, Dru Hill, and more

Next, hailing from Minneapolis, became late-'90s R&B icons with hits like "Too Close" and "Wifey." Known for suggestive lyrics and gospel-influenced harmonies, they achieved multi-platinum success with "Rated Next" under Arista. The group, mentored by Reverand James Grear, and Sounds of Blackness' Ann Nesby, worked with producers like KayGee and Darren Lighty. They released three albums before splitting in 2003. They reunited in 2018 with original members RL, T-Low, and Tweet.

Dru Hill, formed in 1992 in Baltimore, is known for R&B hits like "Tell Me." Notable albums include their debut and "Enter the Dru." Despite Sisqó's solo fame, they've remained active, with hits achieving multi-million sales.

Jagged Edge, formed in 1995 in Atlanta by Hartford-born twins Brandon and Brian Casey, Kyle Norman, and Richard Wingo, rose to fame with hits like "Let's Get Married" and "Where the Party At" featuring Nelly. Renowned for blending ballads with uptempo R&B, they achieved five consecutive Billboard Top Ten albums, including multi-platinum J.E. Heartbreak. A key act for Jermaine Dupri's So So Def, they launched HardCase label in 2017. Their journey includes Grammy nominations and consistent group membership for over 30 years.
