Xscape is an R&B girl group that was formed in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1990s. Xscape was signed to Jermaine Dupri's So So Def Recordings and released their debut album, Hummin' Comin' at 'Cha, in 1993. The album was a commercial success, spawning the hit singles "Understanding" and "Just Kickin' It".Xscape released their second album Off the Hook in 1995 and their third and final album, Traces of My Lipstick in 1998. Despite their success, Xscape faced internal struggles, which led to their initial disbandment in 1998. The group members pursued individual endeavors, with some venturing into songwriting, producing, and reality television. The love and support from their fans prompted a reunion in 2017, and they subsequently embarked on a highly successful comeback tour.Don't confuse them with Michael Jackson's posthumous album and title track Xscape, which was recorded and released long after the group's peak in popularity. | |

A House Divided | |
| Xscape (Music) / int_21889507 | comment |
A House Divided: There has always been tension between Kandi and LaTocha, the biggest personalities of the group. The two of them can never see eye to eye to this day. Although close to Kandi, Tamika naturally sided with her sister most of the time. Tiny would often have to play peacemaker. Tamika eventually started a rumor about Kandi—one that she still can't shake—in defense of her sister that pushed her away from them completely and contributed to the group's demise. Kandi and The Scott sisters went without contact with each other for nearly fifteen years. | |

My Secret Pregnancy: Tamika was pregnant with her eldest daughter, Oshun, when the group filmed the music video for "Love On My Mind." They attempted to cover it up. Averted with Tiny in the "Can't Hang" video. | |

Put on a Bus: Kandi when the group voted her out. Invoked again by Kandi herself. She didn't want to record new music so she is absent from the Here For It EP. LaTocha as of late 2022. She decided to step away from the group following more internal conflict. | |

A Day in the Limelight | |
| Xscape (Music) / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: Kandi and LaTocha sing so many of the lead verses that Tiny and especially Tamika don't often get as much shine. Here's some of their leads: Tiny: "Do You Want To?" The chorus of "Keep It On The Real" "All I Need" "Hold On" "In The Rain" Tamika: The hook of "Love On My Mind" "Who Can I Run To?" "All I Need" | |

Only Known by Their Nickname | |
| Xscape (Music) / int_a7850fbf | comment |
Tameka "Tiny" Harris (née Cottle): The first of the two Tamekas in the group received her nickname due to her small stature, standing at a grand 4'11. Tiny is a soprano, often singing either the top note or the one just under it if LaTocha takes the top. She along with Kandi penned the hit "No Scrubs" which earned the two of them the Grammy for Best R&B Song in 2000. She married rapper T.I. in 2010. The two of them can be seen raising their seven children on their show T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle (2011-2017). Along with The Family Hustle, Tiny has also starred in Tiny & Toya, Tiny and Shekinah's Weave Trip, and T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle.note with close friends Monica, LeToya Luckett, Toya Johnson, and their families | |

Take That! | |
| Xscape (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: They were on the receiving end of a diss from The Notorious B.I.G. on "Just Playing (Dreams)"; where he called them ugly, and said he'd rather sleep with Ru Paul before considering sleeping with any of them. The group took great exception to the remark, and while Biggie did attempt to apologize in person at a Soul Train Awards afterparty, Kandi refused to talk to him. Unfortunately, Biggie was murdered later that night, and Kandi later admitted she regretted not accepting his apology. | |

Breakup Breakout | |
| Xscape (Music) / int_ca49d764 | comment |
Breakup Breakout: Kandi and Tiny moved on to reality television and other business ventures which allowed them to build notable careers outside of Xscape. The Scott sisters on the other hand are still primarily linked to their time in the group. However, they have still done things on their own. | |

Meaningful Rename: When the group released the Here For It EP, the group went by the name XSCAP3. This is because Kandi asked them not to use the name Xscape without her. Averted now that LaTocha isn't performing with the group anymore. | |
