When Total and 112 walk into a room with Angie Martinez, it is not just an interview; it is a family reunion with history, jokes, and truth. From Jamaica memories with Total to 30 years of 112 classics, the conversation snaps right back into that golden era energy; the crowd can almost hear “Kissing You,” “Trippin’,” “Cupid,” and “Peaches & Cream” floating in the background.
The Reunion; the Legacy
Both groups are back outside, touring, and leaning into what made them special in the first place; timeless songs that still crack open a room. The reaction does not surprise them; it is the same fan love they felt in the 90s, which is exactly why they made records to last 20 or 30 years. “We owe it to our fans,” 112 says; 30th year and still moving.
Group changes; moving with grace
Total is performing as a duo; Kima and Keisha explained that Pam chose a different path to focus on faith. They asked her multiple times, respected her answer, and kept the legacy alive; fans have shown up heavy for it.
112 addressed the elephant in the room head on; no negativity, no messy talk. Former members left on their own terms, also citing spiritual direction. “We respect their contributions; we keep the 112 machine going,” they say.
Culture keeps calling
The music stays in rotation because the culture will not let it go. Drake recently sang “Cupid” on camera; 21 Savage shows love too. That kind of salute is proof these records are stitched into people’s lives. It is also why keeping the brand active helps everybody; publishing, royalties, the whole ecosystem.
On complicated legacies
Angie raises the tough question about celebrating history connected to controversial figures. The groups keep it honest; they speak their truth, pray for everyone involved, and steer energy back to the fans and the music. Complicated, yes; defining, no.
Tour vibes; a full experience
This is not a run-of-show, this is theater; choreography, wardrobe changes, dancers, a live band, and pacing that feels like escalation. “We want an experience; hit the senses; hit the spirit,” 112 says. Think time machine energy; step into Room 112 and get transported. Dates include Connecticut Nov 12; Brooklyn Nov 13.
Life offstage; mothers, marriages, milestones
Kima shares life updates; long marriage, kids, even grandma status; Keisha too; motherhood, family, and balance. Kima’s daughter Kamari Mae just dropped her first single; the next generation is catching the bug. On the 112 side, kids are flourishing; one in the Navy, others chasing goals; proud parent energy all around.
Fan-favorite moments; the game that had everyone yelling
They closed with a 90s R&B Lyrically Correct showdown; Case, Jodeci, Tevin Campbell, Faith Evans, Lauryn Hill, Maxwell, Erykah Badu. It was loud, competitive, and hilarious; classic radio magic that reminds you why these voices still matter.
Why it still hits
Total changed what a girl group could look and feel like; cool, stylish, from Jersey, authentic. 112 wrote records that make strangers sing in restaurants; music that turns a regular night into a moment. They took breaks to be parents and partners, then came back sharper; they stayed true to self, and the audience stayed true to them.
Bottom line: The songs are forever, the fans are family, and the show is a love letter to both. Get your tickets; bring your crew; leave your worries at the door; step into the time machine with Total and 112.
