There is no doubt that Xscape has left an everlasting mark on the industry, and this year they will be honored for their contributions. On Friday, it was announced that the legendary R&B group is the recipients of the Lady of Soul Award at this year’s Soul Train Awards.
With more than 25 years in the game, Xscape is responsible for giving us hit records such as “Just Kickin’ It,” “Understanding,” “Who Can I Run To,” and much more.
They expressed their excitement about the honor and said,

It is truly a privilege to be given this opportunity to celebrate Don Cornelius legacy, all of the amazing Black talent that illuminated our screens on the iconic TV show, and my favorite genres of music: Soul, R&B, and Hip Hop.”
