Rico Nasty - Nightmare Vacation

Rico Nasty releases new project "Nightmare Vacation" featuring Gucci Mane, Don Toliver, Anime, Trippie Redd, Rubi Rose and more!

“This album for me was one of those experiences that helped shape me as a person,” Rico Nasty tells of the creation of her debut album, Nightmare Vacation. “I feel like I haven't gone through something like this since my son.” All the best qualities of the DMV-born and -bred rapper are perfected and blown out to make for some of her most punk yet polished work-a fully formed vision that took a bit of self-reflection and self-assurance to create. “I feel like when you're working on music and makeup and merch and all these other different avenues, you get swamped; I think that's the reason why I chose to name it Nightmare Vacation, too,” she says. “I was overwhelmed and I caught myself several times letting other people set goals for me and tell me where I should be going instead of just following the path that I was already on.” Songs like “Candy” and “No Debate” reflect a more assured Rico, confident of her abilities and her place as one of rap's most unique talents. Her willingness to experiment across Nightmare Vacation, and how, each time, she emerges with a result that fits her well, is further proof of the magic of gift meeting grit. “I didn't rush myself to complete a song or to catch a certain wave of music. I didn't try to blend into whatever was out,” she shares. “Being your own person can be scary sometimes because you don't know if people are going to love it or hate it, but I feel the way I dress prepared me for this as well. I don't care about the naysayers.”
