In 2007, Pleasure and his brothers began performing as a music group, with P being the quartet’s only singer. According to a 2005 story in the groups hometown newspaper, the Miami Herald, the brothers originally called themselves Pretty Rickie and the Maverix, until the country group the Mavericks objected, and the group shortened it’s name to Pretty Ricky. In the mid-2000s, the group began to create a buzz locally in South Florida, which led to their receiving a distribution deal with Atlantic Records. Their debut album, Bluestars, which was known for it’s sexually charged songs, was released in May 2005. It generated three singles, with the most successful being “Grind with Me,” which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

Some in his camp has said he left to focus on a solo career in R&B;, while the members of the group say he was thrown out. In June 2008, Pleasure released his debut single as a solo artist, “Did You Wrong” which reached the top 20 on the R&B; songs chart. His first album, The Introduction of Marcus Cooper was released through Atlantic Recors in June 2009, and spawned two top 10 singles, “Boyfriend #2” and “Under.”
The album was eventually nominated for two 2010 Grammys: one for Best R&B; Album and one for Best Male R&B; Vocal Performance, for “Under.” He lost to Maxwell in both categories, however. After leaving Atlantic Records for eOne (aka E1) Music, he released his sophomore album, Marcus Cooper, in October 2012.
On October 2014, Pleasure P and the rest of Pretty Ricky officialized on Instagram a reunion tour with a Bluestars 2 album for 2015. His first reunion single with Pretty Ricky is called “Puddles” and has been released during Valentine’s Day 2015.
