Just in time for a hot summer, self proclaimed “Bad Boys of R&B,” Pretty Ricky will return with a new member and new album entitled “80s Babies.”
The R&B group known for their hits “Grind on Me” and “Love Like Honey” will host a live webcast Monday, May 19th introducing their new singer, 4 Play and single “Cuddle Up” (feat. Butta Creame).
80's Babies follows the group’s sophomore chart topping and gold certified album “Late Night Special” slated for release August 26th.
The introduction of the new member follows a nationwide search hosted by the group earlier this year after the departure of singer Pleasure who left the group last fall to pursue solo endeavors.
"I've been working towards this moment my whole life," says 4Play. "To see the success finally happen, to actually be making music and to be a part of the Pretty Ricky family, is like watching my dreams come true. I feel truly blessed."
"Pretty Ricky is more than just a group; it's a lifestyle, a state of mind," says co-founder Diamond Blue. "4Play is the perfect addition to the Pretty Ricky family."
Pretty Ricky has made a name for themselves as an electrifying live act and chart topping group since their 2005 debut album “Bluestars.” The Miami based group including members Spectacular, Slick em’, and Baby Blue (Diamond Blue) earned a Best R&B Album nomination at the 2nd Annual Ozone Magazine Awards and a BET Award for “Best Costume in a Video” last year.
Pretty Ricky’s 80's Babies will arrive in stores and all online retailers August 26th.
I think pretty ricky will do great but it just won't be the same without pleasure p providing pleasure for all the ladies wanting pleasure... Thats my boy n I heard three of his singles n I love them... Good luck to pretty ricky n pleasure p
