Rico Nasty Is A Destructive Force In Her Defiant ‘Oh Fr?’ Video
Rico Nasty detailed the creation of her album ‘Nightmare Vacation’ with Zane Lowe as she debuted the project’s latest single. …
Now that Rico Nasty‘s debut album Nightmare Vacation has an official release date, she and her team have turned the dial on the album’s promotion up to full. Following up “Don’t Like Me” with Don Toliver and Gucci Mane, Rico shared her latest single, “Oh Fr?,” debuting the new track on Apple Music Radio.
Of the new track, Rico told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe working with 100 Gecs again was “so natural… As soon as I heard the beat, I heard eight seconds and I just went right in there. Just like the other ones. I love it.” She also credited her A&R with introducing her to the genre-bending duo, saying, “I heard about 100 Gecs from my A&R. I’m always asking him to put me on to weird sounding sh-t. I was looking for something. I like ear orgasms. I like stuff that might be normal to another person to listen to, but it just tickles my fancy.”
She also revealed more about the process of making Nightmare Vacation while in quarantine. “I had my ego shot down a little bit by quarantine and just by growing up in general,” she said. “I just think this whole project, it was made during the time where this is probably the first time in my life where I wasn’t on ’10,’ as far as confidence. Within myself, my personal life, normally everything’s great. And making this album just started getting real tricky balancing life.”
“That’s why I named it Nightmare Vacation because all the sh*t that I was scared of at one point, scared to do and scared to say, it just became my second nature,” she elaborated. “I want to say that sh*t, I don’t care if I hurt somebody’s feelings. I’m going to wear it. I don’t care if I get dirty looks. Just et cetera, et cetera, it goes on and on. Nightmare Vacation is really just about being yourself, your truest self, going through things that people tell you you can’t get out of and getting out of them, coming out a rockstar.”
Nightmare Vacation is due 12/4 via Atlantic Recordings.
Rico Nasty is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
