[edit] Biography
Born Marcus Ramone Cooper, Pleasure P was raised by a single mother with no strong male figures in his life except influences from the streets. As he recalls, “All I knew was what the older cats in the hood taught me and I had a mentality that this way of life is all you get.” As a teenager, whether he pursued trouble or trouble pursued him, the result was the same – music was in the foreground and background of his life, and he began to write songs that would one day become a part of his destiny. [1]
[edit] Career
In 2008 he released his solo debut single, "Did You Wrong," which quickly charted on the Billboard Hot 100, and though it only reached the top 90 on the US charts, it was successful for an unprecedented debut, and charted high on the R&B Chart and Airplay Chart. His solo debut album, The Introduction of Marcus Cooper, was released on June 9, 2009. The album was originally to be released in January, but was finally released after several delays. Pleasure P's career received a boost by being featured in the second single from Flo Rida's album R.O.O.T.S., gaining publicity from his presence on its guest list. Pleasure P also released a 2008 EP entitled "Boyfriend #2", including "Did You Wrong" and a promo single "Boyfriend #2", released digitally and as an LP disc. Videos for "Did You Wrong" and "Boyfriend #2" were released digitally and on MySpace. Later on in 2009 he also released the song "Under" from the album.
