Today, certified icon Rico Nasty has released her first official single of the year, ‘Turn It Up’ with production from frequent collaborators, 100 Gecs. The song is accompanied by a companion visual available to watch now. Sonically, ‘Turn It Up’ is very Alt Rap but it’s the beautiful chaos and spitfire flow that fans love from Rico and proves why she is one of the most influential artists of her generation. The single comes on the heels of last month’s re-release of ‘Beat My Face’. The song is now the official ad campaign sound for Urban Decay after previously only available to stream on Soundcloud.

Earlier this month, Rico kicked off her sold-out 2023 headlining tour, Monster Energy Outbreak Tour Presents: Rico Nasty in Toronto, ON. With opening support from Omeretta The Great, the dynamic duo has already done shows in Boston, Brooklyn, Philly, D.C., and Nashville with the tour wrapping in Cincinnati on May 27th. Last year, Rico Nasty delivered LAS RUINAS, a 17-track project that she labeled a mixtape featuring singer/songwriter Bibi Bourelly (Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Usher), Electronic producer and DJ Marshmello and more. She also joined Kehlani last September on the domestic leg of her Blue Water Road Trip tour. That same year, her hit track ‘Smack a Bitch’ produced by Kenny Beats, was RIAA-certified Platinum.

About RICO NASTY

Many artists change the game. However, Rico Nasty reinvents, recharges, and reimagines it with every move. Instead, the Washington, D.C.-born and Maryland-raised sonic sorceress shapeshifts at the speed of the culture, infusing airtight rap with uncontainable punk energy, hyperpop unpredictability, industrial intensity, and just the right amount of heavy metal attitude. Back in high school, she made waves with a series of independent projects before reaching critical mass with 2017’s SUGAR TRAP 2. On its heels, she maintained this momentum with the fan favorite NASTY in 2018. The collaborative mixtape ANGER MANAGEMENT with Kenny Beats closed out 2019 on over a dozen year-end lists, including Complex, Dazed, Fact, The FADER, GQ, NME, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and Vice. During 2020, her full-length debut, NIGHTMARE VACATION, boasted the gold-certified hit ‘Smack A Bitch’. Peers sought her out for high-profile collaborations, including the platinum ‘Tia Tamera’ with Doja Cat, ‘#PROUDCATOWNERREMIX’ with the late XXXTentacion, ‘¡aquí yo mando!’ with Kali Uchis, and more. Rico’s the rare outlier who can grace the cover the XXL Freshman issue or light up Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty Show as an ambassador and ignite a mosh pit.

With an inimitable and influential signature style, she has reached multiplatinum status, posted up nearly 1 billion streams, and sold-out countless shows. Last year she unleashed unfiltered truth with the force of a tornado through a tidal wave on LAS RUINAS but from here on out Rico’s new mission is to take us back to the Sugar Trap – where it all began.
