This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk honors the anniversaries of landmark albums that have shaped the course of music and culture.

Alanté Serene | June 27, 2025

The facets of Rico Nasty’s artistry seem nearly endless. Four years after her electrifying Tiny Desk (home) concert, the rapper/rager/rockstar finally brings her full force to the actual Desk. One thing’s for sure: This concert will surprise you.

Rico performs in front of a packed house of Nasty Mob members, family, friends and hometown supporters. “There is a connection that I have with you guys,” the DMV native tells the crowd. “It just makes me feel very safe.” Fueled by that assurance, Rico powers through a set that’s as layered as her catalog.

Five years after her debut studio album, Nightmare Vacation, Rico has evolved. Her latest project, LETHAL, finds her fully confident in the lane she’s built, blending vulnerability and attitude the way only she can. At the Desk, Rico lets each side of herself shine: from explosive tracks like “SMOKE BREAK,” to a smooth, reimagined version of “ON THE LOW,” to the tender resonance of “SMILE,” a song dedicated to her son. Rico delivers a carefully curated show that highlights every corner of her musical identity while leaving her mark on the iconic space.
