Raunchy lyrics are nothing new, but if sex sells music, then Pretty Ricky’s second album will probably be a hit on music charts everywhere.

Like “I wanna drop it in your bucket / Let me do you after school like some homework/ But please don’t give me STD’s” then “Leave it All Up to You” is probably the best song on the album. Take “Late Night Special”, if you look past the lyrics. There are one or two songs that do boast great vocal presentation and solid production. While they put together a vaguely solid, if slightly murky production, their vocal inexperience lets the album down. Unfortunately for them, they’re not as established or talented as R&B giants Jodeci, R.Kelly and Jagged Edge, so they struggle to get away with such raunchiness. In fact, with lyrics like: 'I’m right between your thighs/ Exotic positions got your orgasm multiplying/ I never go soft/ I never go raw”, this unapologetically sleazy group make R&B predecessors like Dru Hill and R.Kelly sound like blushing prudes. With the release of their sophomore album Late night special, Miami based R&B/Hip hop quartet, Pretty Ricky, present an album that certainly wouldn't be out of place as a soundtrack to a b-grade pornographic movie.įrom the opening track, “Late night special', to the last track “Your Body”, you're left under no illusion about what is on this quartet’s mind and with nicknames like Slick’em, Baby blue, Spectacular and Pleasure (real names Corey Mathis, Diamond Blue Smith, Blue Smith and Marcus Cooper respectively) it's no surprise that the core focus of this album is the group’s adolescent - and often very graphic - sexual fantasies.
