Me and her were hanging out and I played the record for her because she was a friend. He was signed to my friend Ira at Notifi Records.

Pleasure P: Well because Johnny Gill is a legend and I respect him so much, I never said anything about it. What was the importance for you to put out the song as well? YouKnowIGotSoul: You can hear Static’s version online and I know Johnny Gill also put out a version a few years ago. Out of all the songs I could have, he was like “You can’t have this one. I knew that song was timeless and it was special because that was the one record that was very dear to Static before he passed.

I don’t think the music will ever be dated because “For A Long Time” was recorded ten years ago. Now I’m independent and I’m able to breathe again, so I was like “Let’s put it out”. The album never came out because of the rumors, me being on Atlantic and going through that transition into eOne. When we started working on my second album, we went to LA and he had all of those Static sessions and he was like “Let’s do it for your second album”. He produced “On The Hotline” and he’s incredibly talented. He had a producer by the name of Rudy Sandapa, he’s from Australia. Pleasure P: Before Static passed, we started recording a lot of his music. YouKnowIGotSoul: You just released the new single “For A Long Time” which is a dedication to Static Major. YouKnowIGotSoul had a chance to talk to Pleasure P about his reunion with Pretty Ricky, his new single “For A Long Time” as well his strategy to reintroduce himself to this new generation of R&B fans.

It looks like he’s putting out that behind him now as he gears up for the release of multiple projects. Most people would assume that he just fell off the face of the earth because of the lack of new music as his debut album “The Introduction Of Marcus Cooper” came out back in 2009, behind closed doors he has been dealing with a lot of issues such as rumors on the internet, transitioning from being on a major label to independent and changes within his team. Pleasure P is finally back in a major way with a new solo album, a Pretty Ricky comeback and a role on “Love & Hip Hop: Miami”.
