Rico Nasty returns to Portland as her career continues to rise
Rico Nasty is gearing up to set the stage on fire at the Crystal Ballroom on Wednesday, September 24th, following the launch of her tour at Riot Fest in Chicago. The 27-year-old artist’s latest studio album, Lethal, is a unique blend of rap and rock that pays homage to its roots while also pushing boundaries. Drawing inspiration from her earlier pop rap days on SoundCloud, Nasty infuses raw live metal riffs and an alternative rock vibe into her music, creating an electrifying experience that audiences in Portland will undoubtedly appreciate.
Lethal marks Rico Nasty’s third studio album, following Nightmare Vacation (2020) and Las Ruinas (2022). This latest release showcases a more multifaceted and introspective side of the artist, shedding light on her evolution from a trap-pop persona to a more mature and dynamic performer. While fans can still expect the high-energy sugar-trap sound that Rico Nasty is known for, they should also prepare to be rocked to their core. The album deviates from her usual irreverent style and leans heavily into a rap-rock aesthetic, featuring intense guitar riffs and metal influences that invite listeners to headbang and mosh.
Longtime fans of Rico Nasty’s earlier mixtapes, which include an impressive catalog of 10 releases including EPs, may find a deep connection with this latest album. The energy and passion that radiate from her music are evident in her recent Tiny Desk concert, a preview of what concertgoers can expect from her upcoming show. Additionally, Rico Nasty enthusiasts have something else to look forward to – the artist will be making her acting debut in the Apple TV+ and A24 series “Margo’s Got Money Troubles.” Based on the 2024 novel by Rupi Thorpe, the show follows the journey of a pregnant college girl who finds success on OnlyFans, and marks a significant step in Rico Nasty’s expanding career.
The performance at the Crystal Ballroom will be an opportunity for fans to experience Rico Nasty’s electrifying stage presence alongside SadBoi. The event promises to be a night filled with adrenaline-fueled music and undeniable energy, providing attendees with a memorable and exhilarating concert experience. Don’t miss out on a chance to witness Rico Nasty in her element, delivering a performance that will leave you buzzing with excitement.
