  <bio>Outrageously raunchy Miami-based quartet Pretty Ricky -- Spectacular, Diamond, Slick, and Pleasure -- make a bouncing hybrid of rap and R&amp;B coated in at least 30 layers of sleaze. They debuted in 2005 with Bluestars, released by Atlantic. Lead single "Grind with Me" was a significant hit with urban radio stations; the album went on to sell over 800,000 copies. Late Night Special followed in early 2007. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide</bio>
