WHAT DOES ROUGH COPY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rough Copy

Rough Copy are a British boy band from Croydon, London. The group consists of Kazeem "Kaz" Ajobe, Sterling Ramsey and Joseph "Joey" James. They finished fourth on the tenth series of The X Factor in 2013. They originally auditioned for the ninth series in 2012 and got to the "judges' houses" stage, but were forced to back out as Nigerian-born Ajobe was unable to obtain a visa in time, which would have made it almost impossible for him to re-enter the UK. In 2014, Rough Copy signed a record deal with Epic Records. They will release their debut single "Street Love" in June 2014.
