TOP 5
5. SMOKE BREAK
Ever need a “SMOKE BREAK” … even when you don’t smoke?
Okay, so who was going to tell me this was suddenly a rock album? This song is so different from the others—it had to make it into my top 5. “SMOKE BREAK” blends Rico Nasty’s usual intense vibe with that late ’90s to early 2000s teenage angst energy (which I’m a big fan of, by the way). This song is pure rage embodied. Catch me blasting “SMOKE BREAK” anytime I feel like screaming, breaking things, fighting someone, or being wildly dramatic. This one’s for the expressive kings, queens, and everyone in between.
4. CRASH
“CRASH” into you or “CRASH” out?
Rico Nasty continues her cool rock-inspired vibe with “CRASH,” a track that stands out for its softer, more emotional sound. I really enjoyed this one because it goes deeper—it’s more vulnerable and introspective. Lyrics like “When you crash into me, I forgive all the pain / and I’m begging you, this time you can stay” reveal a different side of Rico. Instead of her usual “I don’t need anyone” energy, she leans into being open and even a little needy. It’s beautiful to see her duality on display.
3. TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x)
YEA! YEA! YEA!
“TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x)” is a blast to listen to. It brings that high-energy, party vibe that makes you want to turn the volume all the way up. Rico Nasty doesn’t let you forget how lavish her life is—diamonds, confidence, and all. Between the infectious beat, bold production, and braggadocious lyrics, she’s easily delivered a hit with this one.
2. YOU COULD NEVER
This is Rico Nasty’s reminder that “YOU COULD NEVER” be like her.
“YOU COULD NEVER” is more grounded than I expected. While Rico Nasty keeps her signature confidence and continues to flex her lifestyle, she also opens up about doing it all for the people she loves. It’s a track that adds a layer of humanity to her usual bravado—showing that even when she’s on top, she’s still rooted in loyalty and love.
1. PINK
Sometimes “PINK” feels like a state of mind.
I love the beat of this song—like, seriously love it. How are you supposed to stay still when the flow is this infectious? I caught myself dancing without even realizing it. On “PINK,” Rico Nasty brings a softer tone vocally, but her rapping remains as fiery and passionate as ever. The track gives off Doja Cat vibes—but let’s be clear, Rico doesn’t need to be compared to anyone. Her clever wordplay, sharp lyricism, and signature bragging bars deliver pure intensity, sass, and “I am that b—” energy. She walks that perfect line between confidence and cockiness—and totally owns it.
SONG-BY-SONG RATING
RGM RATING
(B-) (83%)
Rico Nasty has always been a genre-defying force—part rap queen, part punk-rock star, all powerhouse. Known for her explosive rage-rap energy and in-your-face charisma, Rico returns after a three-year hiatus with her seventh studio album, LETHAL.
This isn’t just another record—it’s a reinvention. LETHAL marks the beginning of a bold new era for Rico Nasty, where she fuses her signature aggression with experimental rock sounds, proving she’s not just evolving—she’s dominating. With razor-sharp bars, fierce production, and unapologetic attitude, LETHAL is Rico’s declaration of artistic rebirth. If you’re ready for the next phase of genre-blending chaos, this is the album to press play on.
