Rico Nasty

“I don't want to say I'm that famous, but when you see me, you see me.”

“They're never gonna not put you in a box. It's something that they have to do, because nine times out of 10 people don't understand creativity.”

“Lil Yachty is opening up that lane of being a black weirdo.”

“I want to bring more structure into my shows sometimes but honestly, people have told me they like the randomness and how crazy it gets.”

“I feel like what I'm bringing to the table that's different is like not just consistency in the music but consistency in the creativity, consistency in the visuals, in the fashion, participation with the fans and things that I give them and merch and stuff like that. And I'm very active with them.”

“I love Rihanna.”

“It's hard to be dainty and la la la when you're also supposed to be strong.”

“At the end of the day, you have a side of the story that needs to be heard, too.”

“I met Yachty through Twitter early 2015.”

“Whenever I'm around Spanish people, I'm kind of like a fly on the wall.”

“A lot of times I play my music at shows based on the views and the streams.”

“I wanna be be able to take care of my mom.”

“I made 'iCarly' when I was 18 years old.”

“I don't want people to expect the hard tracks to continue my whole career. When I started making music, I wasn't making music like that.”

“I feel like I have a lot of rhythm because I'm from the DMV. Because you got so many different types of music: Baltimore Club music, Go-Go, then you got the DMV rap music scene, then you got the DMV R&B music scene. It's a lot of music and it's a lot of taste that caters to most.”

“I don't wanna be bare minimum. I wanna be successful.”

“I'm actually a true lyricist.”

“I plan to break the barriers that people try to trap female rappers in. This isn't about 'Oh she sounds good for a female rapper,' it's about 'Yo, she sounds really good on this and can really rap!'”

“I've been Rico since 10th grade.”

“Shoutouts to Cardi B. She's going to be a great mom.”
