After 7 is an influential American R&B group that was formed in 1987 in Indianapolis. The original line-up consisted of brothers Kevon and Melvin Edmonds, and Keith Mitchell, all of whom have strong ties to the music industry, notably through Babyface, the Edmonds' younger brother. Their music is characterized by smooth harmonies and emotive lyrical content, which was a significant factor in shaping the New Jack Swing era of the late 80s and early 90s. Notable hits such as "Ready or Not" and "Can't Stop" have solidified their place in R&B history.
