From Sean "Puffy" Combs' Bad Boy stable, 112 comprises Q Parker, Slim Seandrick, Daron Jones and Michael Keith. To media-watchers, it quickly became obvious that this Atlanta, Georgia, USA-based vocal quartet were being marketed as individual talents who could also perform collectively, based upon the model of New Edition. However, they made their bow just as the Notorious B.I.G. and Ma$e broke through commercially. Not surprisingly, their 1996 self-titled debut was somewhat overlooked as a result, though it still managed initial sales of close to a million copies. It also produced the major hit singles, "Only You" and "Come See Me". Afterwards they were awarded a Grammy, alongside Combs and Faith Evans, for their contribution to "I'll Be Missing You", a tribute to the Notorious B.I.G and a global number 1 in autumn 1997. The quartet then refined their formula, offering a second album concentrating on love and romance rather than the hustler-related lyrics of their debut. They also lifted their tempos, in an effort to become less reliant on ballads. The resulting album, Room 112, was described by label boss Combs as "one of the best R&B albums I've ever been involved in." Among the other high profile writers employed by 112 was Diane Warren. Additional production was provided by Dallas Austin, with guest artists including Ma$e (on the US Top 20 single "Love Me') and Lil' Kim. The quartet assumed most of the production and writing duties for 2001"s follow-up, Part III, which included the US Top 5 hit "Peaches & Cream".
