112 member Mike and Slim zoomed in with the Ladies of nStyleAtlanta.com to discuss their legendary career, how they’re surviving COVID19 quarantine, the new group dynamic, new album, video, and more.
About 112
Founded by group member Michael Keith and groomed by Sean “Puffy” Combs, the Atlanta based group 112, had a meteoric rise that solidified them as the hottest R&B group of their time. Their debut, album “112” (1996) went double Platinum, and gave us hit records like “Cupid” and “Only You”, which featured memorable features from the late, great Notorious B.I.G while also introducing us to then newcomer on the scene, and Bad Boy label mate, Mase. Proving that lightening can in fact be caught in the bottle, the group quickly followed up their debut with yet another double Platinum offering. “Room 112” dropped just two years later and featured records like “Come See Me” and “Anywhere”
The Grammy-winners were declared victorious on VERZUZ scorecards from both Billboard.com and Revolt.tv after the legendary group went head-to-head with Jagged Edge in a Memorial Day edition of the music battle. Playing cuts that included five number one Billboard hits to a live crowd of nearly 400 thousand fans, the group gave a teaser listen of their newest single “Spend It All” to raving responses. Garnering over 6.5 million media impressions following the battle, the pair were noted for their comedic and competitive spirit. While social distancing halted their robust 2020 concert schedule, the group has been performing to sold out crowds for the last two years, and the new releases will mark the follow up to their 2018 single, “Tonight.” The Billboard chart-topping group will release their first album since the 2018 split, 112 FOREVER EP on August 28, 2020.
The legacy continues for 112 as Mike and Slim embark on a quest to achieve their ultimate dream: receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and cementing their place in music history.
