'''''Hot & Wet''''' is the fourth studio album by American [[R&B]] group [[112 (band)|112]]. TheIt albumwas followedreleased theby successful[[Bad Boy Records]] and ''[[PartDef IIIJam Recordings|Def Soul]]'' albumon (whichDecember featured9, 2003 in the hitUnited singleStates. "[[PeachesThe &album Creamfollowed (112the song)|Peachessuccessful &''[[Part CreamIII]]")'' album, with the club tracks "Na Na Na Na" and "Hot & Wet" which was produced by [[Stevie J]]. It was also their first album not exclusively associated with [[Bad Boy Records]], signaling the groups' eventual departure from the label in 2004.
 
==Background==
In 2002 the group members, having matured both personally and professionally, came to the realization that a split with the Bad Boy label was necessary due to the lack of interest.<ref>{{cite web|last=Reid |first=Shaheem |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1471716/20030505/112.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040518180147/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1471716/20030505/112.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 18, 2004 |title=112 Team Up With Sean Paul, Hope To Work With Ghostface Killah - Music, Celebrity, Artist News |work=[[MTV]] |publisher=[[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]] |date=May 6, 2003 |accessdate=February 22, 2012}}</ref> In search of greater creative control, 112 left Bad Boy Records in February 2002 and signed with Def Jam in July on their [[Def Soul]]-imprint, insisting that the breakup was amicable. They reiterated this "no-hard-feelings" attitude by going to Daddy's House to record a debut album for Def Jam. Disagreements remained over ownership rights to the 112 catalog of songs, and this album - the Def Jam debut disc was waylaid as a result, while negotiations ensued between Lyor Cohen of Def Jam and Bad Boy owner Combs. With both sides ultimately in agreement, Hot & Wet would eventually appear in November 2003.

[[AllMusic]] editor Andy Kellman found that ''Hot & Wet'' offered "the same mixed bag of strong singles and inconsistent album cuts that fans have grown accustomed to since the 1996 debut [...] The overabundance of slow-tempo material weighs down the listen, which is especially problematic since the album is nearly 70 minutes in duration."<ref name="AllMusic"/> Jon Caramanica from ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' wrote that most of the "album moves at a snail's pace, though – an undifferentiated set of slooowww jams that suggest 112 are asleep at the wheel."<ref name="rollingstone"/>
Maleria Brown of ''The Stallion Online'' reviewed, "Pleasure and Pain" is one of the best albums I've heard this year. It contains a variety of musical styles, and it's by a group that's made great music in the past. This album is definitely worth giving a try. One twelve is known for creating romantic music, but in their latest album they delve into territory beyond just the romance in a relationship such as feelings of betrayal and regret. The group is also popular for their wonderful ballads, but in "Pleasure and Pain" they experiment with different styles; although, for the most part they stick with the tried and true."<ref>[http://media.www.thestalliononline.com/media/storage/paper892/news/2005/05/02/ArtsAndEntertainment/Review.R.B.Group.112.Makes.Strong.Comeback.With.Latest.Cd-1718988.shtml]{{dead link|date=August 2012}}</ref>
