TUNICA, Miss. — Gold Strike Casino Resort, the Mid-South’s premier casino resort destination, will host legendary R&B group 112 at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 11, at Gold Strike Theatre inside the casino.
Founded by original member Michael Keith, the Atlanta-based quartet rose to fame in the mid-1990s and quickly became one of the most successful R&B groups of its era. The self-titled debut album, “112,” achieved double-platinum status and produced chart-topping hits, including “Cupid” and “Only You,” the latter featuring appearances by the late Notorious B.I.G. and then-emerging Bad Boy artist Mase.
The group proved its staying power with a second consecutive double-platinum release, “Room 112,” which delivered fan favorites such as “Come See Me” and “Anywhere.” Across its career, 112 has earned five No. 1 Billboard hits and multiple Grammy Awards, solidifying its place in R&B history.
The Grammy Award winners went head-to-head with Jagged Edge during a 2020 Memorial Day VERZUZ DJ battle, pitting the two groups against each other through performances of their musical catalogs. Billboard.com and Revolt.tv both declared 112 the winner, citing the quartet’s competitive spirit, humor and timeless catalog. The event drew nearly 400,000 live viewers, generated more than 6.5 million media impressions and included a preview of new music that was met with enthusiastic fan response.
Following a pause in touring during 2020, 112 has returned to the stage with sold-out performances nationwide. Core members Mike and Slim continue to carry the group’s legacy forward, releasing new music and performing for longtime fans and new audiences alike. Their ongoing mission includes honoring 112’s musical impact and achieving their ultimate goal of earning a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
