NEW YORK, NY, Oct 08 (MARKET WIRE) --
Swagga Entertainment/Atlantic recording artist Pleasure P has revealed
plans to join R. Kelly on his hugely anticipated "Ladies Make Some
Noise!" tour of North America. The dates begin Thursday, October 8th, at
Foxwoods Resort Casino's MGM Grand Theater in Mashantucket, Connecticut,
and then continue through early November (see itinerary below).
Additional dates will be announced shortly.
October 8th will also see the launch of Pleasure's official webstore,
located at http://store.pleasurepmusic.com. The site offers a range of
exclusive merchandise, alongside digital downloads of the LA-based
singer's chart-topping debut album, "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER."
Named one of XXL Magazine's "Ten For '10," Pleasure P has only just
returned from this summer's hugely successful "Young Money Presents:
America's Most Wanted Music Festival" tour alongside Lil' Wayne, Young
Jeezy, Drake, and Soulja Boy. "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER," was a
#1 R&B smash on the iTunes Store upon its June release. The collection
includes the hit singles "Did You Wrong," "Under," and the #1 smash,
"Boyfriend #2." The latter track was a #1 Urban radio sensation earlier
this spring, while also reaching the top 10 at Rhythmic outlets
nationwide. In addition, the song's companion video clip scored major
rotation at MTV, MTV Jams, MTV Hits, and VH1 Soul. "Boyfriend #2" also
reached the #2 spot on BET's "106 & Park," where Pleasure has made a
series of electrifying live appearances.
"Under," the latest single from "THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER," is
shaping up as yet another blockbuster for Pleasure P. The track is
currently #7 with-a-bullet on Billboard's "R&B/Hip-Hop Songs" chart, while
its companion video -- directed by Erik White (Diddy, T.I., Chris Brown)
-- recently hit #1 on BET's "106 & Park." The clip is streaming now on
Pleasure's MySpace page, located at www.myspace.com/pleasurepmyspace.
The success of "Boyfriend #2" and "Under" 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,
reaching the top 5 on BET's "106 & Park" countdown.
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 year's Hot 97 Summer Jam 2009 at New Jersey's Giants
Stadium. "The New Bad-Boy of R&B" has also been praised in a wide array of
publications and online outlets, including a cover profile in the
June/July issue of Right On! and features in Vibe, XXL, Sister 2 Sister,
Black Men, Vibe, Hip Hop Weekly, DJBooth.net, ConcreteLoop.com,
UrbanStreetz.com, and BallerStatus.com, which ranked him as one of the
"Top 10 R&B Singers in the Game Right Now."
