We look forward to honoring these multi-talented artists collectively on R&B’s biggest stage, Soul Train Awards.”As a collective, the women amassed six top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 including “Who Can I Run To?,” “The Arms of the One Who Loves You,” and “My Little Secret” with their biggest one being “Just Kickin’ It,” that peaked No. 2 in 1993.Xscape reunited earlier this year at Mary J. Blige’s Strength of a Woman Festival and Summit. They’re also working on a new series with SWV following their 2021 Verzuz battle.
