As I sit on the couch clicking away on the laptop, a video playing on the television grabs my attention. A jam fit to start the new season off caused my head to bob as Flo-Rida and from what I thought a new artist blazes the new release “Shone.” Shone" (Flo Rida The hook grabbed my attention immediately along with the face of the cutie who sang it. This voice carried a familiar sound. A week went by and an email conversation with a friend prompted me to initiate further research. Marcus Ramone Cooper aka Pleasure P Did You Wrong" is the former lead singer of Pretty Ricky. Pleasure P has gone from young and raunchy to grown and sexy. Do you recall the few seasons where a group of young boys who clearly were misguided in their career, exploded on BET, MTV, and various other pre-award shows? With Pleasure P’s second breakthrough performance and hopefully many more collaborations, we have a fresh new voice in R&B. Just check out “Boyfriend # 2 if you have not heard it yet. You will find that his music is much classier than his former group, and it appeals to grown up fan base. Be on the lookout for the rebirth of an artist. You are officially in the mix.
Marcus Ramone Cooper (born December 27, 1984), better known by his stage name Pleasure P a contemporary R&B singer who experienced success as a member of the group Pretty Ricky before embarking on a solo career in 2007.
In 2008 he released his solo debut single, "Did You Wrong," which quickly charted on the Billboard Hot 100, and though it only reached the top 90 on the US charts, it was successful for an unprecedented debut, and charted high on the R&B Charts and Airplay Charts. His solo debut album, tentatively titled The Introduction of Marcus Cooper, is scheduled for release on June 9, 2009. It was originally going to be released in January but got pushed back to March 31, then to May 5, and now is scheduled to be released June 9. Pleasure P's career received a boost by being featured in the second single from Flo Rida's upcoming album "R.O.O.T.S.", gaining much publicity from his presence on its guest list. Pleasure P also released a 2008 EP entitled "Boyfriend #2", including "Did You Wrong" and a promo single "Boyfriend #2", released digitally and as an LP disc."The reason I named it that is because Pretty Ricky introduced you all to Pleasure P, but now Pleasure P is going to introduce you to Marcus Cooper, which is my government name," says the 24-year-old, who left his post as lead singer of the group last year. "This time, I'm in my own lane musically -- I'm grown up now. I'm talking about things that average R&B guys don't talk about but that average people can relate to. Pretty Ricky was overly raunchy, young and with no direction. Now, my music is classier and I'll tell you exactly how it is."[cite this quote
