Rico Nasty has announced her new album, RX, which will drop on July 24. It was produced by Kenneth Blume (formerly Kenny Beats) and includes the previously released single ‘Rituals’.” Today’s announcement was almost definitely timed to the release of Madonna’s CONFESSIONS II, as it’s accompanied by ‘Cupcake’, an infectious track that finds Nasty rapping: “My box heart shape, Nirvana/ Like a virgin, Madonna.” Check it out below.
RX was recorded while Nasty was filming her AppleTV+ debut on Margot’s Got Money Troubles, in which she starred alongside Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, Nick Offerman, and Lindsey Normington. She and Blume previously worked together on the Anger Management mixtape in 2019, as well as ‘SMACK A BITCH’ from 2020’s Nightmare Vacation. 100 gecs’ Dylan Brady also contributed to the new record and produced ‘Kiss N Makeup’.
“I missed someone that was honest with me,” Rico said in a statement. “And I missed someone who knew me back then, before I had any success. I felt like if I’m going to get back to doing me, I should go back to someone who can be real with me, somebody who’s not too serious or draining.”
Blume added: “From the day we met, no one has made me laugh harder or pushed me further out of my comfort zone. RX feels like homecoming. This project is a reminder of where she came from, what made us all fans; and a scary look at how much better she KEEPS getting.”
