Rico Nasty sounds completely unhinged on “Rituals” and it works perfectly.

Rico Nasty has long been one of the most explosive voices in hip-hop, and “Rituals” serves as another reminder of why she’s often mentioned among the pioneers of the rage movement. Teaming up once again with Kenny Beats, Rico delivers a track that feels like pure controlled chaos.

The production is absolutely insane. Powered by a frantic tempo, distorted sounds, and layers of sonic mayhem, the instrumental feels like the audio equivalent of running through an arcade game where targets are flying at you from every direction. Kenny Beats deserves major credit for crafting a beat that’s both overwhelming and addictive.

Rather than getting lost in the madness, Rico attacks the production head-on. She sounds completely unhinged in the best way possible, delivering aggressive bars about copycats stealing her style, staying ahead of her competition, and being prepared for any enemies that come her way. Her energy level never dips, making every second of the track feel urgent and exciting.

At this point, raging on a record feels second nature to Rico Nasty. “Rituals” is another high-octane anthem that proves she can still out-energy just about anyone in the game.
