Pretty Ricky Brings a Feast for the Senses to BMI NY

Atlantic Records recording artists Pretty Ricky stopped by the BMI New York office recently to meet up with executives in the Writer/Publisher Relations department. The Miami-bred quartet, made up of brothers Pleasure, Slick 'Em, Baby Blue and Spectacular, has just picked up an American Music Awards nomination for Favorite R&B/Soul Band Duo or Group.

Their debut album, Bluestars, effortlessly blends rap and r&b together to produce a fresh new urban sound. With two singles in the top 50 of the Billboard Pop 100 chart -- "Grind with Me" and "Your Body" -- Pretty Ricky is on the fast track to stardom, having already opened for some of hip-hop's heavyweights, including Run-DMC, Lil Jon, Trick Daddy, Trina and Pitbull.
