Jagged Edge was an R&B quartet from Georgia discovered by Jermaine Dupri (JD) and signed to his label So So Def Recordings. I really dug these cats harmonies.

"Walked Outta Heaven"
"Walked Outta Heaven"
From Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite released in 1996. One of the seminal albums that ushered in the Neo Soul era.

Montell Jordan feat. Master P and Silk the Shocker "Let's Ride"
I've always maintained Montell's voice was overlooked. It would have been nice to see what he could have done on a true r&b/soul LP, not the club produced stuff he put out.

And finally we'll leave off with 16 year old Usher's debut circa 1994. This is my hands down favorite song from him. And he's got many bops in the discog.
