112 has been one of the most successful male vocal groups of the past 20 years, with all five if their albums to date having gone Gold or Platinum. Their 1996 eponymous debut album was certified double Platinum and spawned the hits “Only You” and “Cupid.” 112 toured widely with Puff Daddy & The Family, Keith Sweat, New Edition and, eventually, the likes of Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston. They also appeared on hits by the late Notorious B.I.G., Puff Daddy (his epic “I’ll Be Missing You”, which earned the group a Grammy) and more. More hits followed including “Come See Me”, “Love Me” featuring Mase and “Anywhere,” leading to the double Platinum-selling album Room 112. In 2001, their Part III album spawned the singles “It’s Over Now,” which hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs chart, and the massive Grammy-nominated hit “Peaches & Cream.” 112 then moved over to Def Jam, where they released 2003’s Hot & Wet. In 2005 they scored the hit “U Already Know,” which led to the release of their Platinum-selling fifth album Pleasure & Pain.
