Few groups embodied the 90s fusion of R&B and hip-hop like 112.
In this episode of On That Note, Slim and Mike sit down with Shawn Stockman to trace their journey from Atlanta church choirs to the frontlines of Bad Boy Records — recording alongside Biggie Smalls, collaborating with Faith Evans, and finding their voice in an era that redefined both genres.
They open up about the creative chemistry that shaped classics like “Cupid” and “Peaches & Cream,” what it was really like inside Bad Boy’s golden age, and how the collision of soul, rap, and street culture built the blueprint for modern R&B.
Listen now for untold stories, nostalgic studio memories, and lessons from the label that made harmony dangerous again.
