Pleasure P Gets Ready for His "Introduction"; The New Bad-Boy of R&B Heralds Solo Debut With Hot New Single, "Boyfriend #2," Video World Premiered on MySpace January 27th, "The Introduction of Marcus Cooper" Drops Everywhere in May

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 30, 2009) - Bluestar/Atlantic recording artist Pleasure P has announced early details of his hugely anticipated debut album, titled "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER." The collection -- which features the hit singles, "Boyfriend #2" and "Did You Wrong" -- will arrive in stores and at all digital retailers May 5th.

"Boyfriend #2" recently impacted at Urban and Rhythmic radio outlets nationwide. The single is shaping up as a major online sensation, having already drawn nearly 2.5 million streams on Pleasure P's official MySpace page, located at www.myspace.com/pleasurepmyspace. The track's companion video clip world premiered on MySpace Tuesday, January 27th.

The early success of "Boyfriend #2" follows Pleasure P's smash debut single, "Did You Wrong," which lit up the Rhythmic charts last fall. The track's accompanying video -- currently streaming 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.

What's more, Pleasure P -- a.k.a. "The New Bad-Boy of R&B" -- is featured on a new hip-hop hit, "Shone," Poe Boy/Atlantic recording artist Flo Rida's urban single from his eagerly awaited sophomore album, "ROUTES OF OVERCOMING THE STRUGGLE."

Pleasure P -- who can be seen in the January/February issue of XXL -- first attracted international attention as a member of Bluestar/Atlantic recording group Pretty Ricky. With "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER," the gifted singer/songwriter embarks on what is likely to be a stunning solo career. Full details -- including a complete tracklisting and updated single/video information -- will be revealed shortly.
