April 21, 2021 Rico Nasty: "Female Rappers" and Being Yourself, Period
Pulling up a chair this week is rapper Rico Nasty! We aren’t lying when we say Rico Nasty is truly one of a kind. The punk rapper princess defies any label you throw at her and makes her voice known in any room she enters. She lets us in on how she got her start, the growing pains of being in the music industry, and her refusal to compromise her individuality. She gave us an honest, real look into becoming mainstream, personal expression and of course…her Rihanna stan-dom. Who wants to fit in, when Rico Nasty shows us that we were ALL born to stand out!
