RICO NASTY

I feel like what made 'Nasty' so fire was it was finally something that they couldn't take from me.

It's very important when you in the studio to be with a confident creative.

I like music where someone is trying to get their power back.

Shoutouts to Cardi B. She's going to be a great mom.

They're never gonna not put you in a box. It's something that they have to do, because nine times out of 10 people don't understand creativity.

I wanna be be able to take care of my mom.

I feel very open to trying new things.

When I started rapping, I was like, I'ma change my name before I become famous. And that didn't happen. I didn't have time.

I don't want to say I'm that famous, but when you see me, you see me.

I don't want to be that stereotypical black girl that's mad all the time.

The name Rico Nasty came from Instagram.

I'm a little bit scared of everything. It's kind of funny. Whenever people ask me how I'm feeling, I'm like, 'I don't know. I'm scared. I'm nervous.'

I met Yachty through Twitter early 2015.

I love when people are just naturally happy people.

You gotta be very positive. It helps. It really does.

I plan to break the barriers that people try to trap female rappers in. This isn't about 'Oh she sounds good for a female rapper,' it's about 'Yo, she sounds really good on this and can really rap!'

I shot 'Poppin' in L.A. because I love L.A. Because when I came out here, I fell in love with it.

The first time my dad ever heard my mixtape it was 'Summer's Eve,' and he was fresh out of jail. And he'd be in jail for like damn near two years.

I went with Atlantic because I got a lawyer to look at my contract and my contract was fire.

At the end of the day, you have a side of the story that needs to be heard, too.

Earl Sweatshirt is very wise.

It's a lot of women that was before me, it's a lot of women that's gonna come after me!

I stopped making music for other people.

When I wanted to become an artist I wanted to be versatile but at the same time, fans never know what to expect.

I've been imagining spikes in my head since I was 13 years old.
