In this episode of Can We Talk R&B, we sit down with the legendary R&B group Jagged Edge for an in-depth conversation about their journey, the secret to their longevity, and why they never broke up. They discuss their hopes for 112’s reunion, selling 2 million singles for Promise, and Brandon’s near-death accident.
The group also opens up about the passing of Irv Gotti, their new independent album, and the challenges of releasing music without comparing it to past successes. Plus, they share their thoughts on Jermaine Dupri vs. Diddy’s legacy, their next tour, and the artists who still inspire them today—Chris Brown, Usher, H.E.R., SZA, and Jazmine Sullivan.
