Rhythm and blues
Rhythm and blues

112 is a Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Eric Roberson, Sean Combs, Faith Evans, Bad Boy Records and Bobby Caldwell. Those roots explain a lot about how 112 arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dru Hill, Donell Jones, Joe, Case and Tyrese, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into PARTYNEXTDOOR, Faith Evans, Sean Combs, The Notorious B.I.G. and Mase, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 59 connections around 112, reaching back through Eric Roberson and forward to PARTYNEXTDOOR.
