Rico Nasty is back with “Rituals,” which features production from Kenneth Blume, the artist formerly known as Kenny Beats (he’s now working under his legal name, which apparently isn’t “Kenny Beats”). The new single follows Rico’s 2025 LP Lethal, in addition to her acting debut in the dramedy series Margo’s Got Money Troubles.

“What inspired me to work with Kenny again was hearing the discourse,” shares the artist, who worked with the producer on her 2018 mixtape Nasty and her 2020 debut album Nightmare Vacation, with the full-on collaborative tape Anger Management dropping in between. “A lot of fans miss my rapping so I wanted them to know I never forgot. I just want people to listen, and I hope it reminds them why I’m their favorite rapper.”
