The quartet's smooth harmonies and danceable grooves defined late-90s R&B radio.
For their signature blend, start with "Only You" and "Call My Name." Those tracks capture what they did best.
When 112 signed to Bad Boy in 1996, they brought a different flavor to the label's roster, less streetwise than Biggie, more polished than Faith Evans. Their debut single "Only You" announced a sound that was both romantic and rhythmic, a balance they kept through hits like "Call My Name" and "Crazy Over You." They made R&B that felt approachable, the kind of music that worked just as well at a slow dance as it did on the radio.
They formed in Atlanta in the late 1990s and released their self-titled debut on Bad Boy Records in 1996. After albums like "Room 112" and "Part III," they took a hiatus before reuniting for 2009's "Pleasure & Pain."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
