Rico Nasty is known for performing hip hop music and trap music, particularly styles such as punk rap,[91][92][93][94][95] trap metal,[62][96][97][98] nu metal,[99][100][101] pop-trap,[99][102][101] SoundCloud rap,[103][104] and rap rock.[105][106] She is known for her "aggressive, cutthroat flow"[98] as well as her "spiky style and raspy delivery".[12] Rico Nasty told NME that she "resonate[s] with being a pop-punk princess."[18]

Rico Nasty coined the term "sugar trap" early in her career and has used it as the title of her independent record label as well as two of her mixtapes.[107][108] Musically, the term has simply been described as "bubbly, upbeat rap"[8] as well as "singing and trap rapping".[109] Lawrence Burney of Noisey noted that sugar trap is "markedly upbeat, bubbly, and self-loving, no matter her chosen delivery",[13] while Kyann-Sian Williams of NME described it as a blend of "hardcore, gruff vocals" and "grungy hooks with softer, computerised beats".[18] Rico Nasty has said that sugar trap has "soft, beautiful, melodic, flowy vibes" as well as elements of "trap music like Chicago drill music, Atlanta trap music, Memphis trap music, little bit of California trap music. I mix everything. If the sound catches my ear, I mix it."[110] She has also described "sugar trap" metaphorically as "a headspace", "a way of fashion" and "a way of life".[111] She also described the term as a "metaphorical place", saying "It's like when you have a really, really bad life and shit good starts happening and you don't know how to adapt to the good shit."[13] In April 2018, Rico Nasty officially trademarked the term "sugar trap".[112]

Influences

[edit]

Musically, Rico Nasty has cited Joan Jett, Avril Lavigne and Rihanna as her biggest influences.[12][9][113][114] She has been named as an influence on Flo Milli[115] and ppcocaine.[116]

Alter egos and appearance

[edit]

Rico Nasty's use of alter egos and personas in her music have varied throughout her career. These include "Tacobella" (a "vulnerable, sensitive persona"), and "Trap Lavigne", who is inspired by Avril Lavigne.[16][8][117][113] Rico Nasty told NME that her other personas are inspired by David Bowie, Tyler, the Creator, and Nicki Minaj.[18]

Rico Nasty is known for her unique style in punk fashion.[118][119][5][120][121] Kyle Munzenrieder of the American fashion magazine W has described her as a "maximalist fashion icon".[122] Kyann-Sian Williams of NME wrote, "With her androgynous nature and outlandish style, Rico has been an icon for outcasts for years."[18]

Personal life

[edit]

At age 18, Rico Nasty gave birth to a son, Cameron,[5] while in her senior year of high school.[13][18] As she began gaining attention with her music, she quit her job as a hospital receptionist and her manager, Malik Foxx, began buying production equipment.[8] Rico Nasty revealed to The Fader that Foxx is "the only father figure that Cameron has ever known."[8]
