New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Atlantic Records) - Swagga Entertainment/Atlantic recording artist
Pleasure P has announced the release of his hugely anticipated debut album, "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER." The collection - which features the hit singles "Boyfriend No 2" and "Did You Wrong" - arrives in stores and at all digital retailers today, June 9th.
"Boyfriend No 2" was a No 1 Urban radio hit earlier this spring, while also scoring significant airplay at Rhythmic outlets nationwide. The single comes in this week at No 7 on Billboard's "Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay" chart. In addition, the "Boyfriend No 2" companion video clip is blowing up everywhere, with major rotation at MTV, MTV Jams, MTV Hits, and VH1 Soul. "Boyfriend No 2" also reached the No 2 spot on BET's "106 & Park," where Pleasure is slated to perform live today, Tuesday, June 9th (check local listings).
The success of "Boyfriend No 2" follows Pleasure P's smash debut single, "Did You Wrong," which lit up the Rhythmic charts last fall. The track's accompanying video - which can be viewed at Pleasure P's official website, www.pleasurepmusic.com - proved a blockbuster introduction for the Miami-based singer, reaching the top 5 on BET's "106 & Park" countdown.
"Under," the next single from "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER," is set to impact this week at Urban radio outlets coast to coast. A companion video - directed by Erik White (Diddy, T.I., Chris Brown) - is currently in post-production and will have its world premiere on Pleasure's popular MySpace page - located at www.myspace.com/pleasurepmyspace - later this month.
Pleasure P - who first attracted international attention as a member of Bluestar/Atlantic recording group Pretty Ricky - heralded the release of "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER" with a rapturously received live appearance at this weekend's Hot 97 Summer Jam 2009 at New Jersey's Giants Stadium. "The New Bad-Boy of R&B" has also been featured in a wide array of publications and online outlets, including XXL, Sister 2 Sister, Black Men, Vibe, Hip Hop Weekly, DJBooth.net, ConcreteLoop.com, and UrbanStreetz.com.
