Rico Nasty announces details of third album ‘LETHAL’

Almost three years on from the release of her last full-length ‘Las Ruinas’, US rapped Rico Nasty has returned with news of her third studio album, the punchily-titled ‘LETHAL’.

Marking her first release via her new label home of Fueled By Ramen / Parlophone, her thirteen-track record is set for release on 7th May, and follows on from last year’s ‘Hardc0re Dr3amz’ EP.

“This album is about being confident and saying fuck everybody else,” Rico has said of her latest project, which comes executive-produced by Imad Royal (Panic! The Disco, The Chainsmokers). “It’s about getting doors slammed in your face and people telling you to try it their way again and again, and you stay true to yourself and it works. That’s what this project is. It’s an ode to yourself.”

Alongside news of her new album, Rico has also offered up a first taste in the form of the storming ‘TEETHSUCKER (YEA3X)’, a track which was “both the first song I wrote for the album, and the first song I ever wrote with Imad Royal,” she says. “We all knew this song was special from the moment we turned it in - and what’s a better way to start the new era than by popping out like a titty?!’
