Artists to Watch 2019: Rico Nasty

The past few years have been filled with young male rappers yelling very loudly into a microphone until someone payed attention to them. Many of these careers have not lasted more than twelve months, because no one want to hear rap the sticky, uh.

Rico Nasty is aggressive too, but in a way that we haven’t heard before, her confidence more metal than Nicki or Cardi’s swagger. She also has one of the best producers of 2018, Kenny Beats, making her albums. She’s infectious where Nicki can seem annoying.

In fact, she shouldn’t be compared to other female rappers because she is something so unique. Other rappers have meddled with metal rap in the past few years but haven’t been working with the songs to properly make it. Her studio sessions with Kenny lead to perfectly matched beats and lyrics, not the mass-produced trap beats we’ve heard try to match wannabe rap metalheads.

2019 is shaping up to be another big year, as she is already rolling out her new album. She’s already released two singles and is finished the album in a week.

Beware to live your life with one word constantly ringing in your head… KEENNNNNYYYYYY
