NEW YORK (Atlantic Records) - Blue Star Entertainment/Atlantic recording group
Pretty Ricky and Bad Boy recording group B5 have joined the lineup for the eagerly awaited 'BET Presents Scream Tour IV Festival: The
Heart Throbs 2005.' The cross-country trek features a number of the biggest names in modern R&B, including Bow Wow, Omarion, Marques Houston, and
Bobby Valentino. Scream Tour IV launches July 20th at Trenton, NJ's Sovereign Arena, and will spend the summer rolling through amphitheaters and arenas in close to 30 cities, including an August 24th stop at New York City's Madison
Square Garden.
Pretty Ricky will be performing tracks from their smash Blue Star Entertainment/Atlantic debut, BLUESTARS, including the massive hit single, 'Grind With Me.' The Miami-based sibling quartet - rappers Slick 'Em, Baby Blue, and Spectacular, and singer Pleasure - exploded onto the Florida music scene in late 2004, when 'Grind With Me' became the most requested song in the history of Miami radio station Power 96. Subsequently signed to Atlantic by Co-Chairman/COO Craig Kallman, Pretty Ricky quickly turned into a national sensation.
Bad Boy Entertainment's B5 are one of today's hottest new teen groups. The Atlanta-based brothers - Dustin, Kelly, Patrick, Carnell, and Bryan Breeding - merge the old school flair and finesse of the Jackson Five with the modern-day pop appeal of NSYNC and the raw energy of New Edition to create a musical phenomenon that carves a unique niche in the music industry. The resulting album - simply titled, B5 - is set for national release on July 19th!
