About Xscape
Xscape is an American girl group from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 1991 by Kandi Burruss, Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, LaTocha Scott, Tamera Coggins-Wynn, and Tamika Scott. The following year Coggins-Wynn left the group and Xscape became a quartet. They were discovered by Jermaine Dupri who signed the group to his So So Def label. The group released their debut album Hummin' Comin' at 'Cha in 1993, which spawned two of their biggest hits, "Just Kickin' It" and "Understanding". The album was certified Platinum on February 1, 1994. Xscape has sold more than 9 million records worldwide.
The group's second album Off the Hook was released in 1995; it was certified Platinum on November 16, 1995. The lead single "Feels So Good" and "Who Can I Run To" were both certified Gold in the United States. Their third and final album Traces of My Lipstick was released in 1998. The lead single "The Arms of the One Who Loves You" was certified Gold on May 14, 1998, and the album was certified Platinum on June 21, 1999, in the United States. The group disbanded in 1998 to pursue solo projects and reformed in 2017.
In February 2018, because Kandi Burruss had taken a hiatus due to being on Broadway, the group temporarily downsized, calling itself XSCAP3. That group released the singles "Wifed Up" and "Dream Killa", and an EP, Here for It . As of 2024, the group consists of Tamika Scott, Kandi Burruss & Tameka ”Tiny”Hariss, following accusations of Latocha of fraud and stealing money from her sister. To date, Xscape performs as a trio with no plans of Latocha re-joining the group at this moment.
After Tamera Coggins left the group in 1993, Xscape became a quartet. They were later discovered by Jermaine Dupri, who immediately signed the group to his So So Def label and debuted the quartet at his birthday party in 1992.

The follow-up singles, "Love on My Mind" and "Tonight", were not as successful.
In 1994, Xscape was the opening act for R. Kelly and Salt-N-Pepa's Very Necessary 12 Play Tour.
