Punk-rap artist Rico Nasty has released new single and video "Son of a Gun" from new album Lethal, and it's a caustic, glorious beast of a tune.
"Always the rap world’s biggest rock star, Rico Nasty is known for her own particular brand of rage-rap and for her outrageous on-stage, online, volume-up persona," the press release reads. "But as she grew up, she started to feel trapped by the character she created. LETHAL is a reckoning of who Rico is at 27 with the trap-pop teen persona she created more than a decade ago. Executive produced by GRAMMY nominated producer Imad Royal, the album still features all the hallmarks of a Rico Nasty record - female rage, heavy guitars, humor - but there are also notes of femininity, introspection and a more complex framing of all the angles of Rico - the performer, the mother, the adult. Purchase the album HERE."
The song starts with a metallic guitar riff, before Rico starts spitting. In the video, Nasty is all decked out in leather, dancing in an empty warehouse. It's like Flashdance meets Saw.
