Pretty Ricky is a Miami R&B and hip-hop group known for combining sensual slow jams and melodic hooks with Southern rap verses. The classic lineup features vocalist Marcus “Pleasure P” Cooper alongside rappers Spectacular Blue Smith, Diamond “Baby Blue” Smith, and Corey “Slick’Em” Mathis. The group broke nationally with the album Bluestars and its hits “Grind With Me” and “Your Body,” then reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with Late Night Special, which produced “On the Hotline,” “Push It Baby,” and “Love Like Honey.” Their catalog also includes fan favorites such as “Nothing But a Number,” “Shorty Be Mine,” and “Puddles,” and their blend of R&B vocals and rap became a recognizable part of the mid-2000s R&B and hip-hop era.
