After a three-year hiatus that ended in 2015, the group spent the rest of the 2010s touring, then in early 2020 released a new single, “Body,” that showcased their penchant for raunchy hooks and rapidfire flows. They followed up “Flossin’” with “Ride With Me,” which infiltrated dance floors and bedrooms across the country due to Pleasure P’s infectious chorus and the unrelenting energy of the group’s rap verses.

The band is fronted by Marcus Cooper―a.k.a. In their early days, the group pioneered an electric, sexified revamp of the genre, alongside a new generation of stars and acts like Usher, Omarion, and 112. Their first single, “Flossin’,” was inescapable thanks to its constant appearance on the Florida Power 96 station, and just a few years later, they leveraged that local goodwill into a national audience that became enamored with their intoxicatingly fresh play on R&B. We’ve got those comments below.Back in 2002, when regional success was the surest way of predicting superstardom, no group was bigger in Miami than the neo-R&B stars Pretty Ricky. On Twitter, the group’s name was trending with fans discussing the new drop and reminiscing over Pretty Ricky’s earlier hits. The new single was released last week while the group is currently on a nationwide tour.

With “Body,” Pretty Ricky has returned to the sound that got them some smash hits such as the forementioned drops, but also “On The Hotline” from the group’s 2007 Late Night Special album. The group dropped the singles “Puddles” and “Good Girlz” in 20 respectively as a little chatter of a new project was ongoing at the time.

Pleasure P, Baby Blue Woaaaa, Spectacular, and Slickem are back in formation, delivering their sex-tinged vocals as they did over 15 years ago. After Pleasure P split with the band in 2007, he has since rejoined and now the quartet has a new song “Body” that has R&B Twitter excited about their long-awaited reunion album. Pretty Ricky first made their major-label debut back in 2005 with the gold-selling Bluestars album, featuring the “Grind With Me” and “Your Body” singles.
