Rico Nasty: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
Sidney Madden | September 3, 2021
"I like having a band," Rico Nasty says with a giggle midway through her Tiny Desk (home) concert. "Especially when it's all girls."
As an artist known to mash up the genres of rap, rock and pop - and create a safe space for women to do the same - Rico has rarely gotten the chance to put this full artistic collision on display. For her Tiny Desk debut, Rico takes every opportunity to flex her rage and range.
Dressed as if she's the main character out of a Tim Burton adaptation of Candyland, Rico bounces around her varied discography, never letting the audience get too comfortable with one sound. Starting off with one of her most recent cuts, the soft, surf rock-inspired "Magic," the magnetic performer pulls a switch-up on viewers by jumping into some of her more raucous bangers, the type that would normally incite a sweaty mosh pit at her concerts. Of course, she closes the set with a shredding version of her breakout single, the primal scream mantra of "Smack A Bitch." The high-energy display evokes childlike joy and confection just as much as it does unapologetic savagery. "I don't know where you at, where you watching this," Rico smirks at one point. "You better break some s***."
Since her early mixtape days all the way up to her 2020 debut album, Nightmare Vacation, Rico has waded in sonic dichotomy to blend her signature sound, deemed "sugar trap," and in the process, became a beacon for women in rap to eloquently express their anger. As one of the DMV's most formidable forces, Rico always compels her fans to jump up, take charge and never apologize for what they feel.

How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.
You gotta tour with this band right tf now 😭
I said the same thing 😭 The vibe was amazing 😭
The guitarist is currently doing Gwen Steffani's residency
Exactly!!!!
fr!!!!
I neeeeeed it!
Clearly a woman who refuses to be defined by one style, she reaches and grabs them all quite well!
This the one! She really does. 💯💯💯 We gotta keep showing love. She been dat! Female rap shouldn’t be in such a box. ‘Hip Hop Runs The World!’ 🔥💪🏾
You hit the nail on the head. She switches styles smoother than a train switches tracks. She is a whole baddie too. She overcame brutal situations with the death of her fella awhile back. She really overcame.
Oh okay👀
Rico reminds me of my mum's p!nk era 😩💜
Sugar trap!!!
The 2 first songs shows perfectly her incredible vocal range... So impressed!!!!!!!
Thanks!
The duality is why she’s my fave
@HUUUUUURRRR listen to taco Bella lol
@HUUUUUURRRR everybody hears things definitely..
Trust, I understand where you’re coming from..
She sound like Kali on the first one
Trust Rico to have an all girl POC band!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Your welcome! 😁
@@SSingh-nc8hb wdym? …. .
@@SSingh-nc8hb you really thought you did something there huh. Just say you don’t support women / BIPOC and move along. Or don’t, bc you in the wrong place for that 😇
@@SSingh-nc8hb huh
Ok you see her drummer🔥🔥🔥
Rico Nasty is a creative masterpiece. Only thing I was waiting for was a “WHOA KENNY” on the beat
Yeahhhh! Woah kenny up in this piece
Saaame 🥲
YASSSSSSSS 🤣
This is proof that she doesn’t need to perform with the backing song tracks at concerts and festivals! Her voice is naturally clear and great live!! 🔥
i feel like she has work her voice alot since
She's usually jumping around a lot at concerts, maybe thats it? Or maybe it's a lack of confidence
@@tedros6917 singing for a whole show require alot of practice.
Its not the same as recording where you can pause whenever you want.
I feel like i heard an itw where she talk about it but not sure
@@tedros6917 To be honest, I like Rico but the way she performs at concerts and festivals is no different than what she was doing here! But at the same time, I understand what you’re saying
Mark of a true artist and musician- performs better without the backing tracks and beats. Sounds better with live instruments.
The lead guitarist gon have to take my number the way they KILLED this set
Me looking respectfully at their 💪👀
Without question.
So themz some nice tones. What effects and pedals u use? I use rose petals. *Pulls out a bouquet.*
😎😎😎😎😎😎
One of the best alternative artist, if you get the chance to see her live take it.
I saw the beginning of one of her sets and the energy omg…
@@queenshayh I escorted/chaperone my 'play neice' and loved every part of her set.
saw her at lolla and she did so good!! i was so proud of her
Yeah her live sets are dope
I will since she add europeans dates
Rage is definitely an instant pit opener. Somebodies getting bodied with this version.
Rage literally gave me chills..... alt girl band ftw y'all.....
This band HAS to tour. Oh my god this was godly
Badu on the drums. Whole band = blessed. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@incomeinvestingwithchristi3972 she plays piano not drums
Her singing voice is amazing! The range! Versatility! Pure talent ofc
I freaking LOVE her voice. So raspy, so full of FIRE.
rico needs a full band 24/7, this is so much better than the backtracks
This version of Rage is hype
miss nasty was just YELLING and then the song ends and she’s like “🥺🥺thanks for having me guys👉🏻👈🏻👉🏻👈🏻”
She turns it on and off so quick 🤣🤣
She cute afffff
Love this about her
Snapped my mf head off then said “thanks” so sweetly.. this woman serves
She was born to perform i swear. Her energy is so contagious
Rico Nasty is such a unique artist. She’s in her own bracket when it comes to style, music, sound, etc.
I think I just fell in love with the bassist
(Rico and all the other members of the band killed it as well tho, looooved this performance)
I really want Rico to record a whole album with this band.
crying cause why is this my first time seeing this. I-
At least it was 5 months earlier than when I found it! And Rico was my biggest artist last year 😭
RICO, HER STYLE, HER MUSIC, HER PERSONALITY EVERYTHING IS JUS PERFECT
why did she BODY magic like that 😭
I am for the live band👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Rico sounds in her element with the live band. Plus her voice sounds extremely clear. If she tours, I encourage her to have a band💕💕💕
I truly hope she does 💜
The way I've been obsessed with this woman for years. This was so good, I'm basing my halloween on this performance. Also imma need her to do a cover of all of her songs with this band.
magic sounded gorgeous, and rage was iconic with the live band🥵i raged for the whole set !!! so iconic rico
I love this woman’s music. I could listen to her until I’m old and gray.
Same here
Facts
I’m gray. Co sign.
@@incomeinvestingwithchristi3972 word
1:40 Those vocals on “show”. Such a beautiful sound. Wish I could condense it and burn it as incense in my home.
Having grown up in the 90s it's just wonderful to see how this generation embraces hand made, honest, rock vibes.
🤟
Will smith's wife had a metal band in the 90s.
How she go from so soft and sweet (magic) the so ruff and rude (range) 💕❤️ them vocal cords was blessed
erykah badu went crazy on the drums
Stg 😂
That's not her. Unless that was a look-alike joke and in that case...ha! 🤣
Right?! She looks so much like her, i was like "i'm ready for that rimshot baby" hahah
Lol you had me tripping
I literally thought it was her at first 😂
wow rico, this was so good. so much improvement over the years and that all-girl band sound so good behind her, it rly brings her style out. they had those arrangements tight and I like that soft song she did in the beginning.
This is definitely a performance I’m gonna be replaying for the rest of my life.
rico, is very diverse. her sugartrap style is unmatched. and this banddddd
i see you everywhere fr.. 😭😭
@@heavensentslut thanks! (i think?)
This was a dope set! She's in her lane and in her bag! She deserves more!
I need all of her songs recorded live w this band on Spotify IMMEDIATELY
My day has been made😭😭😭😭😭
Yes I was like AMEN
I said the same thing before I even watched it
She is a gem 💎 💎 💎 She’s exactly where she needs to be in the music industry. Untainted & Preserved.
her breath control go super dumby loco bonkers cause how was she hitting all those SCREAM NOTES!!
She deserved a live audience that was LIT!!!!
This was my first time listening to Rico and she is fiyaaaaaaaaaa!!! Ya hear me? Every song knocks
It’s crazy to see this cus i real live went to school with her 😅proud of her and happy she’s elevating and exceeding her dreams!
Watching from DC, I love her💯😝
The number of times I watched/listened to this is outta this world.
TRUST ISSUES WILL ALWAYS BE MY SONG DAWG. SINCE HIGHSCHOOL
Always !
SAME!!!
Same it's goes so hard
I've come back to this video like 10 times now
Rico is revolutionizing rap, I can’t wait to see what she’s going to do next! A QUEEN! 😩😩😩💚💚💚💚
oh my god Rico and everyone in the band KILLED THIS!!
I don't get why the crowd booed her I really like this .. this is literally what the early 2000 kids wanted rap and punk rock ... don't sit there and tell me your playlist doesn't have a mix of rap and rock
Great screamer voice
Magic: this isn't very nasty at all.
Rage: oh nvm.
Gonna need a Rico metal album now
Rico's performances are always dope! She has her own lane.
Very happy to see you able to showcase your blatant talent and versatility on a platform like Tiny Desk. All these versions are so hard !!!!!!
Been rocking with Rico since 2015, so proud of her. Putting on for the DMV!
Bro that bandddd>>>>>
I’m not too familiar with her music so going from the 1st to the 2nd song was jarring LOL
i’m more used to her older music so the first song had me confused-
i jUMPed but then I vibed
Had to come back 5 months later this too fire
The all female band killed it! WOWOW
We love to see an all female band😝🔥.
Side note: I thought the woman on the drums was Erykah Badu for a second😩😂.
I get addicted to these tink desk versions... IMO rage live here better than the record
I want to see her collab with Willow Smith
that would be a great collab
Yess please
Wiliow can't sing live tho
Would be dope
@@danielwilliams693 lies
I love a black girl who not scared to be different 🙌🏾🔥🔥🥲
I NEED a Rico Nu Metal album
After that good first song I was tooootally not expecting the next two 😂 I liked it tho
Had between stank face and smile the whole video. Ive been not so patiently waiting for Rico Tiny desk. This some heat. They served.
Interesting performance to say the least.
Only 20 seconds in and these vocals and this instrumental is so OU
It is Anartism.
what’s OU?
@@theHoax100 IOU is letter, owe you, pay back.
@@vilijanac no like ou this song so good
@@ginthagod oh you! Mean, that is different to IOU. which is I own you. A legal document. :)
I enjoyed this Tiny Desk performance by Rico Nasty🤩 She’s an unique artist and I enjoy her artistry… Great mix of Hip Hop & Rock…🤟🏾
Rico🌊
Wat!
Nice. Who are the guitar and bass players? Oh nevermind, i see their names in the video description
So delete the comment 🤣
@@mediumChungus69 I think she's part of the band
Melanieeeee 💕
@@neneee2435 her name isn't there lol
@@mediumChungus69 yh I realized that. She is a guitarist who has been in other Tiny Desk Concerts tho.
Cyndi Lauper, Nicki Minaj, and the Beastie Boys had a baby
Rico Nasty is kinda like a female version of Nicki Minaj. Or maybe a more masculine Beastie Boys
I really hope you smooth brains can listen to artists without calling them a version or combination of another artists someday
@@nibyafternight1983 isn't nicki female...
shout out to that guitarist!! she’s crazy
I just found my new favorite jams.
Rico crosses several different genres of music, and this makes her stand out above the rest of the female rappers.
My Beautiful Bassist Cousin Kyla I love you 😘!!!
She is really goooooood!!!
The all female band!!!!!!! Congratulations Rico!!!!!
ahhh when rico smiles in the first song when she sings its so cute!!!!!
THEY CRANKED THIS WHOLE PERFORMANCE!!!!!
Rico's artistic vision is just amazing in every way! And the band was just amazing too!
