Rico Nasty has officially announced her next studio album, LETHAL, set for release on May 16 via Fueled by Ramen. The project marks a major shift for the rapper, fully embracing rap-rock while maintaining the raw energy and defiant spirit that have defined her career.
Alongside the announcement, Rico debuted the album’s lead single, “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x),” a high-energy track co-produced by Imad Royal. “This was both the first song I wrote for the album and the first song I ever wrote with Imad,” Rico shared. “We all knew this song was special from the moment we turned it in.” The song arrives with an accompanying music video, featuring dynamic visuals that highlight her signature rebellious energy.
Describing LETHAL, Rico emphasized the project’s personal significance: “This album is about confidence—staying true to yourself even when doors are slammed in your face.” The album also serves as her first under Fueled by Ramen, marking a fresh start after parting ways with Atlantic Records.
With LETHAL, Rico Nasty asserts her creative independence, delivering a bold and unapologetic project. TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x) is out now, with LETHAL arriving May 16.
