Review - Amazon.com
One-time P. Diddy protégés One Twelve (as the CD packaging spells it) take several chances to tout their current alignment with Def Jam on their fourth album, Hot & Wet. For the most part, though, the quartet sticks to business over boasts--and the job, of course, is rockin' and freakin' your body all night long. The emphasis is on romance, even when guest Ludacris promises to "make you do things you ain't even know you could do" on two mixes of the title song. A better than average seduction disc, Hot changes up its rhythms enough to allow even for casual daylight listening; check the requisite dancehall number, "Na Na Na Na" (featuring toasting by Super Cat) and the mildly electro-influenced "Give it to Me." Fine singing completes the package. --Rickey Wright

- I spoke too soon

I was blinded by my love for 112. This CD is weak. I am so disappointed that they ever bothered to release it. I can't even bring myself to put this CD into my player because I am so hurt by what they are doing. This is the group that came with ballads so amazing I could feel every emotion- now I have to listen to them sound like some old version of Dru Hill offering to "Knock U Down". What does that even mean? Where are they? This is not my favorite group. These are not the four men I have broken my neck three times to see in concert- no way! I love "Right Here For You", "You Said" and "Slip Away"- then "All My Love", "Say Yes" and "Man's World" get a little play too...but other than that I can make a frisbee out of that investment. My name comes from the third single of their debut album and I'm tempted to change it now! This is not 112 material and I hope they play it over and over then play the debut and recognize the VAST change that has taken place. Don't get this CD- it hurts me to say this.

- what happened??

Geez 112 used to be my favourite rnb group. They were the ones who brought me into liking rnb. But since Part III they have been going down. Now they left badboy it's even worse. What happened? All the beats in this album is wacked, not much originality, and mostly, they aren't being themselves. I think that they are trying to become too commercial. THis is crap don't even think of getting it.

- 112 Did Not Disappoint!!

This album is DA BOMB!! 112 should have left Bad Boy a long time ago! And yes, I already knew that 112 wrote their own songs even when they were with Bad Boy (being a die-hard fan, I know just about everything there is to know about them!).

The first time I heard this CD, I was on a plane bound for Orlando and I haven't put it down since, although every time I hear it I think about my vacation in Orlando (LOL)!

My three personal favorites are:

#7. Right Here For U

#11. Knock U Down

#15. Slip Away

I didn't really care for two of the songs (Give It To Me & Unbelievable) but hey, I haven't heard one CD where I have loved every single song! But anyway, this is their best effort since Part III (which will always be my personal favorite CD from 112). I can't wait for their 5th CD!!! Please hurry!!!

- What happened?

I've been a 112 fan before it was cool to be a fan. I'm talking all the way back to 1995 with the first song on the Money Train soundtrack. I bought this album and am really really disappointed. The previous albums, "112", "Room 112", and "Part III" are far superior to this lackluster effort. This is a-typical R&B album and as a long time fan I simply expected better than this.

"Na, Na,..." is bad. Hot & Wet is alright but again, it sounds like everything else that is out there.

Try again, fellas.

- Four Stars for 112's Fourth Album!!!

I have been a 112 fan since the release of their debut album back in 1996. I instantly fell in love with the soulful voices of Q, Mike, Slim, and Daron*(my personal favorite). So naturally I bought their next two albums. Then came the label change and also a change in 112. Now this album is not bad at all, its just that it has a lot of uptempo songs that I don't prefer personally. Hot & Wet and Na Na Na Na are ok, but for die-hard 112 fans please listen to Knock U Down, Right Here For U, All My Love (bangin), You Said, and my personal favorite Slip Away (I listen to this song everyday). Hopefully, for their future albums, 112 will use the same format that made their debut album one of the best albums ever.
