Continuing to perform over the next few years, it wasn’t until 2002 that they first gained widespread attention with their hit, Flossin’ which proved to be a major hit on local radio stations. From there, it wasn’t long until Pretty Ricky was signed to Bluestar Entertainment by their CEO, Joseph Smith. With the help of Jim Jonsin, a music producer from Unusual Suspect Productions, the boy band eventually began performing at a number of local venues. Named after a character in the comedy series, Martin (1992), the half-siblings set off on a musical career in the late 90’s, with the help of their father Joseph Blue Smith, who served as the group’s manager.

Formed in 1997, the Miami-based hip hop crew consists of four brothers, Marcus Cooper “Pleasure P”, Corey Mathis “Slick’em”, Ala Diamond Smith “Blue Baby”, and Blue Smith “Spectacular”.

American R&B group Pretty Ricky first rose to fame with the release of their debut album, Bluestars (2005).
