About Rico Nasty: The DMV artist born Maria Kelly started putting rhymes to music in high school, when she began rappin’ over chillwave instrumentals. The fever swept her fast, and music took her over. Smart choice. From "iCarly” to “Block List” to her collabo with Lil Yachty on “Hey Arnold,” Rico, who sometimes features another side of her personality under the name Tacobella, is someone that should be on your playlist.
