Lethal

Rico Nasty returns with a new studio album, Lethal, on Fueled by Ramen (Atlantic Music Group). Rico Nasty is known for her own particular brand of rage-rap and for her outrageous on-stage, online, volume-up persona.

But as she grew up, she started to feel trapped by the character she created. Lethal is a reckoning of who Rico is at 27 with the trap-pop teen persona she created more than a decade ago. Executive produced by Grammy nominated producer Imad Royal, the album still features all the hallmarks of a Rico Nasty record - female rage, heavy guitars, humor - but there are also notes of femininity, introspection and a more complex framing of all the angles of Rico - the performer, the mother, the adult.
