Los Angeles, CA – Devilishly handsome male performer Ricky Johnson scored many 2018 awards nominations last week, but he also snagged his second interview of 2017 with hip hop mainstream magazine The Hype.

The Hype article chronicles Ricky’s journey from starting in the adult biz to winning Best Male Newcomer three times to scoring 11 nominations for the 2018 awards season, including Male Performer of the Year.
