It debuted at #16 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 56,000 copies in the first week, and within several months, was certified Gold by RIAA. On May 17, 2005, Pretty Ricky released their debut album titled Bluestars. After auditioning with Kallman, Pretty Ricky was offered a record deal on the spot. The single made its way to popularity on WPOW-Power 96, and station Program Director Ira Wolf A/K/A/Tony the Tiger sent the single to Craig Kallman of Atlantic Records. It reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. In 2004, Pretty Ricky released their first official single " Grind With Me". However, it was not until 2002 that the group encountered their initial success as their song "Flossin'" became a huge hit on Miami radio station Power 96. With the help from producer Jim Jonsin of the Unusual Suspects production team, Pretty Ricky began to gain desirable attention through their local performances. Supported by their father, Joseph Smith, Sr., who also served as the band's manager and who is of Jamaican descent, the group developed their music under the name of "Pretty Rickie and The Maverix" before changing it to "Pretty Ricky". In 1997, while performing together in Miami, Pretty Ricky was signed to Bluestar Entertainment by CEO Joseph "Blue" Smith.

The group originally consisted of brothers Diamond Blue (Baby Blue) Smith and Spectacular Smith, plus Corey (Slick 'Em) Mathis and Marcus ( Pleasure P) Cooper. I’m here to take you back…way back….back into time.Pretty Ricky is an American R&B/ hip hop group originating from Miami, Florida. You just may have loved them once upon a time. More posts to come about artists or albums slept on. But if Pleasure P decided to some out with another album I wouldn’t be mad. When in reality, the time they came out was THEIR TIME. Singers actually sang and rappers actually rapped. There are many artist that came out in 2005 that really fell off the map or trying to still do music. It was so good! Not saying Pretty Ricky was the greatest group, but they came out at a time where music was so fun made you want to dance, well grind.

Just because it takes me back to my middle school and high school days when all I did was try to discover and download music. Now I know most of you are wondering “why in the hell did she write a blog post about Pretty Ricky.” But in reality, this is the music that makes me so happy.

Although the original group didn’t last as long as we wanted them too, (black middle school and high school teens LOL) they still have those classic hits that take you back to when you were grinding on somebody in a garage LOL. And your just singing along with the words because Pleasure P (the singer) draws you in with his singing and adlibs. They clearly painted a picture for us of their sexual escapades. Their first hit was “Grind On Me” Really in 7th grade jamming to this vulgar music. The members consisted of Baby Blue, Slick Em, Spectacular, and Pleasure P. For those who don’t know who Pretty Ricky is, they were a group of young men from Miami Florida. So I am going to take you back to 05 when Pretty Ricky took over our adolescent lives. I don’t know about you guys but when it comes to my music, I am literally stuck between the 90s and early 2000s.
