112 has exploded onto the RNB scene with such mega hits as 'Only you' (featuring the late Notorious B.I.G.), 'Cupid', 'Come see me' and 'Anywhere' selling millions of units. This time around the lads - Mike Keith, Quinees Parker (aka Q), Marvin Scandrick III (aka Slim), and Daron Jones wanted to break away from the norm and record their 3rd album 'Part lll' away from their native Atlanta and New York instead opting for Nashville TN said member Mike Keith to Billboard.com " You're only as hot as your last record but in rock and alternative, the fans are more loyal. You have 60-year-old Rolling Stones fans. That group can still come out right now and sell out an arena. As an R&B act, what we have to show is our ability as singers, songwriters, and performers/dancers," .

'Part lll' unlike their previous work was written and produced mostly by the lads themselves and is now finished and ready for its Mar 20th release date and the new single 'It's over now' is in heavy rotation at radio stations across the country. It promises to show the lads growth and maturity as a group and artist and giving past indications will be another plaque on their walls.
