About

Pretty Ricky are suave, sexy and tender. Following in the steps of similar R&B boy groups such as B2K, the boys -- Corey "Slick'em" Mathis, Diamond Blue "Baby Blue" Smith, "Spectacular" Blue Smith, and Marcus "Pleasure" Cooper -- hit the big time in 2005 with their contagious single "Grind With Me." The single, incidentally, was produced by famed Miami Bass DJ Jim Jonsin. The subsequent album, Bluestars, was a hit, and produced follow-up singles "Your Body" and "Juicy." Their sophomore disk, Late Nite Special, was largely more of the same.
