Rising Rap Star Cowrites Her First Ever Comic Book Set in the Fictional Lead Up to Her Debut Album On Sale Now!
NEW YORK, NY—Z2 Comics reveal the latest in a string of anticipated comic debuts, this time from the DMV’s punk rock princess, currently stacking glowing reviews for her latest album like presents under a tree, each one better than the last. The album – which includes features from such luminaries as Trippie Redd and Aminé and production also by Take A Daytrip (Lil Nas X, Sheck Wes, Kid Cudi), Avedon (Roddy Ricch, Chloe x Halle), GRAMMY® Award-nominee Tay Keith (Travis Scott, BlocBoy JB, Drake) and longtime collaborator Kenny Beats – is highlighted by the singles, “IPHONE,” “Own It,” “Don’t Like Me (Feat. Don Toliver & Gucci Mane),” and “OHFR?,” all available now for streaming and download. To celebrate the release of NIGHTMARE VACATION, Rico has unveiled a brand new merch line, including the original comic book co-written with Jarrett Williams (Harper Sharp, Super Pro K.O.!), with two different covers available to order now!
Rico Nasty says “I’m excited about my very own comic book. I just want my fans to come on this adventure with me. It’s Nightmare Vacation in rare form.”
Rico Nasty is deep in space recording her debut album. Unfortunately, an accidental cannabis nap sends her spaceship, CAM, crashing onto Earth! Waking up at a soulless android facility, she’ll have to survive on noodles while searching for her missing ship—but at least she has the help of her new, dope girlfriends, Taco Bella & Trap Levigne. Together, they’ll battle countless androids while trying to find CAM and finish her new album.
Indeed, Rico Nasty has been among the most prolific artists in recent memory, with a seemingly endless stream of standout singles like “Hard,” “Time Flies” (featured on EA’s hugely successful Madden NFL 20), and “Fashion Week,” the latter joined by an official video chronicling her own high profile appearances at 2019’s New York Fashion Week, streaming HERE. As if all that weren’t enough, Rico has contributed to an array of features and remixes, including an acclaimed “NastyMix” of the late Pop Smoke’s viral hit “Welcome To The Party” and 100 gecs’ hugely popular “ringtone (remix) [feat. Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, Kero Kero Bonito].”
Rico Nasty: Nightmare Vacay is released today in two versions, each individually exclusive to the Z2 website and Rico Nasty’s webstore, Nightmare Vacay is a fun companion to Rico’s brand-new album, Nightmare Vacation, which was released on December 5 through Atlantic Records/Sugar Trap!
