112 (pronounced 'one-twelve') is an American R&B quartet from Atlanta, Georgia. Formerly artists on Bad Boy Records, the group signed to the Def Soul roster in 2002. They had great success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits such as 'Only You', 'Anywhere' and the Grammy Award-nominated single, 'Peaches & Cream'. The group most notably won a Grammy Award in 1997 for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, for featuring in the song 'I'll Be Missing You' with Sean Combs and Faith Evans.

History[edit]

Formation and early years (1993–1997)[edit]

The group had its start when the members met while attending high school. The original group consisting of Daron Jones, Michael Keith, and Reginald Finley sang together while Jones and Keith were in middle school and Finley was in high school. Once all three were in high school, they met fellow schoolmate Aldon Lagon who was working at a local McDonald's in Atlanta and added him due to his deep bass voice. They met a high tenor vocalist Marvin Scandrick who sang with them in the school chorus.

Known as Forte, the group performed talent shows and performed at churches and schools around Atlanta. After Wales was able to secure an audition for the group outside of Atlanta's Club 112 in Buckhead, the boys sang for Combs and impressed him. Following another audition for Combs in front of Bad Boy producer Chucky Thompson, Bad Boy Records artist Faith Evans and Combs protégé Usher and a co-sign from Thompson and Evans, Combs signed the quartet of Michael Keith, Marvin Scandrick, Daron Jones, and Quinnes Parker to Bad Boy Records. The group then changed their name from Forte to 112, the name of the nightclub where they had auditioned for Combs.

Soon afterwards they found themselves living in New York City, recording their debut album, 112. Released in 1996, the album eventually went double platinum. The album which was primarily produced by Tim & Bob entered into the top 5 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, and went on to sell over two million copies. It featured the hit singles 'Only You' and 'Cupid', both of which peaked at #13 on the Hot 100 and #3 and #2 on the R&B charts respectively.^[1] The group also contributed to records by artists including The Notorious B.I.G., Sean Combs (as Puff Daddy) and Mase. The group eventually went on the road as the opening act for the Isley Brothers at Ron Isley's request, the first of four separate tours that saw the group criss-crossing the U.S. with Keith Sweat, New Edition and finally Puff Daddy and the Family, over an 18-month period. In the years that followed, they toured with other performers such as Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson.^[2]

Rise to success (1997–2001)[edit]

A series of single tracks by 112 populated the charts in 1997, beginning with the Tim & Bob produced single 'Come See Me,' which hit the top 40 in January. 'Cupid,' Produced by Arnold Hennings, released in May, made the top 10 and was certified gold in the same month. By August 'Cupid' went platinum. Another 1997 single, 'I'll Be Missing You,' hit the top 40 in June and was certified triple platinum by July. Attaining the number one chart position by August, the song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 1997. 'I'll Be Missing You' sat at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for eleven weeks and spent nine weeks at the top of the Hot Singles sales. The track also topped the R&B singles, R&B singles sales, and rap singles charts for eight weeks running. The group booked tours with the Isley Brothers, Keith Sweat, and New Edition, as well as with Puff Daddy and the Family, totaling four separate tours. The group spent 18 successive months on the road fulfilling tour commitments.

Their second album, Room 112 was released in 1998, and featured the hits, 'Love Me' featuring Mase and 'Anywhere' featuring Lil Zane. Both the album and the song 'Love Me' were certified gold. Album sales surpassed the platinum level by January 1999, and double platinum sales were recorded in 2002. To continue supporting the album further, 112 went on tour with singer Whitney Houston for her U.S. My Love Is Your Love World Tour in the summer of 1999.^[3]

A 2001 single, 'It's Over Now', charted at the top of the Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs. The group's third album, Part III was released in 2001, spun the hit Peaches & Cream, and earned the group their first and only Grammy nomination in the Best R&B Group or Duo category. While the group was in production on a new album for 2001, however, executive producer Combs was called to court repeatedly, regarding a shooting incident. Instead of taping at the usual accommodations in Combs's studio, 112 went to Nashville, Tennessee, to record the new disc. It was a move that signaled a pending split with Bad Boy Records. The album, Part III, was released on March 20, 2001, following an intensive barrage of advance radio publicity. Even in the absence of Combs, Part III took off with a running start. It raced up the charts to debut at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. Surpassing gold sales in April, the album went platinum in May. To promote the album further, 112 joined Janet Jackson that summer for her U.S. All for You Tour.^[4] Among the singles released from the album, an upbeat track called 'Peaches and Cream'—which was credited in part to Combs—scored another crossover hit for the band. Released in June, the track soared to number one on the Rhythmic Top 40 and peaked at number four on the Hot 100. The group earned two award nominations for the song that year: an MTV Best Video nomination in September, and a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group.^[2]

Co-signing with Def Jam (2002–2006)[edit]

In 2002 the group members, having matured both personally and professionally, came to the realization that a split with the Bad Boy label was necessary due to the lack of interest.^[5] In search of greater creative control, 112 left Bad Boy Records in February 2002 and signed with Def Jam in July on their Def Soul-imprint, insisting that the breakup was amicable. They reiterated this no-hard-feelings attitude by going to Diddy's House to record a debut album for Def Jam. Disagreements remained over ownership rights to the 112 catalog of songs, and their fourth album Hot & Wet, the Def Jam debut disc, was waylaid as a result, while negotiations ensued between Lyor Cohen of Def Jam and Bad Boy owner Combs. With both sides ultimately in agreement, Hot & Wet appeared in November 2003, with its title song breaking into Billboard 's Hot 100 and the Rhythmic Top 40 that year. In 2004 the album charted on the Billboard 200 and peaked at number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album, however, failed to make any noticeable impression on the charts. From the album, they released 'Na, Na, Na' featuring dancehall legend Super Cat.

Pleasure & Pain, the group's fifth album, was released in 2005, eventually reaching platinum status and featuring the popular single 'U Already Know.' The album is their first to come with a parental advisory sticker, reportedly caused by a rap from Three 6 Mafia though a few songs on the album also contain profanity. Shortly after the release of the album though and amidst rumors of issues regarding money, the members separated to pursue solo careers and were subsequently dropped by Def Jam.

Controversy, hiatus and solo projects (2007–2009)[edit]

In 2007, 112 formed their own label One Twelve Music Group and were in talks with a joint venture deal with Irv Gotti's The Inc. Records-imprint to release an album in 2008.^[6] The group continued to tour nationally and worldwide, whilst they embarked on their own solo projects.

Slim, however, states that he never fell out with anyone over money and is still with 112. The group now consists of members Q, Slim, and Daron. Mike said his business partner showed him that he wasn't receiving his royalty checks. Mike released his debut solo album, Michael Keith, on September 30, 2008, as a digital download through iTunes and Amazon MP3. He also released two songs 'She's My Superstar' and 'Sexy' under the pseudonym 'Dangerus' via the internet. In 2010, Michael Keith has reconciled with the other three members of 112 and will record with the group on their sixth studio album planned for release in the near future.

In March 2010, it was announced via Q. Parker that 112 had returned to the studio and was recording new material. He broke the news via Twitter, 'In the studio with my boys Mike and Daron! New 112 album comin soon!' The news of the group's reunion was also confirmed by member Daron Jones in an interview published on Sound-Savvy.com.^[8] Jones confirmed that the reunion will include Mike and Q, and possibly Slim. He commented, 'Slim just didn't want to be a part of it' But there are rumors that Slim might have had a change of heart.

Just three years young, Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs' Bad Boy Records was taking the R&B and hip-hop charts by storm in 1996. After releasing hit albums from the likes of Craig Mack, The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans and Total, it was time to get a male R&B group on the roster. Quinnes Parker (Q), Michael Keith (Mike), Marvin Scandrick (Slim) and Daron Jones found a home at Bad Boy and carved out a niche of their own when they dropped their eponymous debut album 112 in 1996. Initially called Forte, the group was re-named after an Atlanta-based club and made a huge splash in the industry and on the charts with their debut album, which included features from labelmates The Notorious B.I.G., Ma$e Mjellma.net kuiz milioner. and Faith.

With 112, the group put their bid in to ride the Bad Boy wave in the name of R&B, and they went straight to the top. The 19-track album was ballad-heavy and produced primarily by Puff Daddy, with contributions from Stevie J, group memberJones, Al B Sure! and Boyz II Men's Wanya Morris. Perhaps by design, Tim Kelley and Bob Robinson also produced the album, giving the group songs that were initially meant for Boyz II Men's second album that Motown Records declined. Three singles were released from 112 — 'Only You,' 'Come See Me' and 'Cupid' — with both 'Only You' and 'Cupid' reaching the Top 10 of the Billboard R&B charts and Top 20 on the Hot 100.

The album eventually went double platinum, entered into the Top 5 on Billboard's Top R&B Albums chart and went on to sell over two million copies. The perfect introduction to the spotlight, the group steadily rose in the R&B ranks, touring with the likes of Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, The Isley Brothers, Keith Sweat, New Edition and more. 112 won a GRAMMY in 1997 for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for featuring in the song 'I'll Be Missing You' with Puffy and Faith. They also went on to create more albums as a group and individually, providing the perfect R&B soundtrack for the '90s and early '00s. While Puffy tried to recreate another male R&B group years later, no band could ever compare to 112.
