Xscape (sometimes known as XSCAP3) is an American female R&B group from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 1992 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 7 million records worldwide.

The group went on to release their second album, Off the Hook in 1995 and 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.

On February 11, 2018, it was announced that Kandi Burruss had taken a hiatus due to being on Broadway and wouldn't be featured on new music. This caused the group to temporarily downsize and rebrand to XSCAP3 (featuring Tameka "Tiny" Harris, sisters Tamika Scott and LaTocha Scott).

XSCAP3 released singles "Wifed Up" and "Dream Killa", which spawned their release of their first EP as a trio Here for It released March 2, 2018. It was also announced that they fired their manager, Vincent Herbert.
