Rico Nasty has returned with a new single, Rituals. 

Fusing aggressive rap with noisy, punk-influenced production by collaborator Kenneth Blume (formerly known as Kenny Beats), the intense, high-energy track marks the Maryland-born rapper's first new music since last December's 'LETHAL-ER', the deluxe edition of her 2025 album 'LETHAL'. Nasty said:

“What inspired me to work with Kenny again was hearing the discourse. A lot of fans miss my rapping, so I wanted them to know I never forgot. I just want people to listen, and I hope it reminds them why I’m their favorite rapper."

Later this year, Nasty will join Magdalena Bay as support for Hayley Williams on the North American leg of the Paramore singer's tour, The Hayley Williams Show, in September and October. Tickets are on sale now.

Rico Nasty has also featured on several tracks released by other artists this year, most recently on a remix of HOT WHEELS by Detroit artist chase usa.
