Their name has been ringing bells for years, and with their new hit show on Bravo, “The Queens of R&B,” the ladies of XSCAPE are continuing their legacy.

R&B quartet XSCAPE features Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, and siblings Tamika Scott and LaTocha Scott-Bivens. The group has sold more than 9 million records worldwide and notched six Top 10 hits on the Billboard 100. The singers have joined forces with Cheryl “Coko” Gamble, Tamara “Taj” George and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons, known as SWV (Sisters With Voices). The sisters have earned more than 30 million records sold worldwide and three Grammy Awards.

“SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B” is a six-part limited series that gives fans backstage access to SWV and XSCAPE’s personal and professional lives as they prepare to hit the stage together for a one-of-a-kind show.

Access Atlanta got a chance to catch up with the ladies of XSCAPE, and they did not hold back!

“Everybody was hesitant (about filming the show) on our side, every last one of us,” Tiny told Access Atlanta.

Despite their hesitation, all group members agreed.

While they probably hoped for a show simply about coming together for an epic collaboration, a major storyline has taken over the show since episode one has been the issues with XSCAPE’s fourth group member, LaTocha. In one of the first few episodes, sisters Tamika and LaTocha try to come together at their mom’s house to find some kind of resolution for their issues, but things, unfortunately, take a left turn.

“When I walked in, my sister, she did not want to work anything out. I walked into ‘you think you’re better than everybody else. You don’t know how to treat people.’ I was sitting there like, this is our first conversation and you’re doing this in front of cameras?” Tamika told Access Atlanta.

You can watch “SWV & XSCAPE: The Queens of R&B” Sundays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
