    Biting and abrasive in the best kind of ways, ‘Nightmare Vacation’ finds an artist stepping up into the hype that’s been surrounding her for years, and delivering on it tenfold. It will chew you up and spit you out, and you’ll love every minute of it.

    While 2019's Anger Management showed her off as a maleficent talent with a taste for blood, Nightmare Vacation is Rico at her nastiest.

    Overall, Rico’s inaugural efforts are cathartic, ballsy and just plain fun. Nightmare Vacation solidifies the emcee as quite the furious force to be reckoned with.

    Combative, empowering and unashamedly fun.
  5. While Nasty’s catalogue has found her focused on pushing to the extremities of self-expression – baking rock, screamo and punk directly into her rap with reckless abandon – with this record she flexes her chops as an artist with mainstream appeal.

    Nightmare Vacation is an excellent look into the many cogs that make Rico’s brain work without setting up a definitive future direction. It’s this unpredictability that makes her exciting and shows how she has enjoyed longevity in this fast-paced world.

    That spluttering yet charming Rico from 2018 is still there, but overall this debut doesn’t feel like progression, but stagnation.

    Demasiado arte nos trajo Rico Nasty, bastante experiential, nada malo que decir, es un verdadero arte. Nos salvó de tanta música mediocre.

    A very strong debut from the hyper pop rap experimentalist dropping flows like they hot, industrial production and the charisma persona .

    Vamos ser honestos, Rico Nasty é uma artista boa em algumas faixas, mas em outras ela meio que arruína a sonoridade com seus gritosVamos ser honestos, Rico Nasty é uma artista boa em algumas faixas, mas em outras ela meio que arruína a sonoridade com seus gritos desnecessários, sua voz suave em algumas partes do álbum traz um ritmo agradável para a música, mas o resto é simplesmente muito ruim, não senti uma originalidade que até me lembra do alter ego da Nicki Minaj, lembram do ROMAN? Não foi dessa vez Rico, o pesadelo realmente é mostrado nesse álbum.

    Faixa favorita: IPHONE.
