Rico Nasty Announces Her ‘Long-Awaited ‘Nightmare Vacation’ Release Date

Getty Image Rico was tabbed as ‘next up’ by Cardi B in February. Now, the DMV area rebel is primed to prove her predecessor’s prediction. …

After 11 months of 2020 culminated with the first big break of the year in the 2020 election, we could all really use a vacation. Fortunately, Rico Nasty is here to offer just such an escape from the norm, with her long-awaited major-label debut album, Nightmare Vacation. While she’s been teasing the release since spring, today, she finally revealed a hard release date: December 4, which means it’s less than a month away.

After being dubbed Cardi B’s pick for “next big hip-hop star” at the beginning of the year, Rico began rolling out a string of well-received singles even without a solid release date. She kicked things off in March with the video for “Lightning,” then followed up in April with “Popstar.” Next, she released the 100 Gecs-produced “iPhone” in August after collaborating with Kali Uchis on “Aquí Yo Mando.”

Her most recent video, the bizarre and surreal “Own It,” appeared to be the biggest of the bunch, suggesting that the album might be right around the corner — a prediction “Don’t Like Me” with Don Toliver and Gucci Mane seemed to confirm. Now, with an official release date, the Sugar Trap pioneer looks primed to complete the world takeover promised by her Bronx-born predecessor.

Nightmare Vacation is due 12/4 via Atlantic Records.

Artist Spotlight

C’batch delivers love, reflections and new beginning through “Next Time (I Won’t Be Falling)” (EP)

C’batch’s latest EP, Next Time (I Won’t Be Falling), is a soulful exploration of the never-ending cycle that is love. It’s a release that combines intimacy with looking ahead, blending emotion with cinematic ambition. The EP embraces the ambiguity that follows, instead of providing a clean resolution to heartbreak. 

This EP is a sneak peek of C’batch’s upcoming album, “The Vault 4 – Cinematic,” set for release on July 10, 2026, that will go deeper into the emotional universe. The project begins with Next Time (I Won’t Be Falling), a nicely balanced, measured balance of strength and openness that captures the emotional tension between self-protection and hope for another chance. Next Time (I Won’t Be Falling) (2)gives the same emotional struggle from a more reflective perspective, letting the feelings settle with more maturity and quiet conviction.

Next Time (I Won’t Be Falling)1a tells a different story, with similar emotions reinterpreted with musical shifts, adding to the experience but still resonating with the core message of the EP. The release is completed with the cinematic version of Next Time (I Won’t Be Falling) Cinematic Version 2, a sweeping song with cinematic textures that turns the title track into an immersive sound and offers a glimpse of the creative direction behind The Vault 4 – Cinematic.

Another point of connection in C’batch’s expanding catalog, Next Time (I Won’t Be Falling), also supplies the creative inspiration for the two companion versions of Fluorescent Buzz (You Got Me Falling) on the EP of the same name. These releases represent an artist consciously creating a connected musical universe that is growing in emotional depth, storytelling, and cinematic production.

Album Review

C’batch delivers a soulful dancefloor experience with “The Vault 3 – Club / Dance / R&B-Soul / Funk / Pop / Techno / Etc.”

C'batch

C’batch is back with “The Vault 3 – Club/Dance/R&B-Soul/Funk/Pop/Techno/Etc.,” a 20-track album of unreleased archival recordings, remixed into one seamless late-night journey. The project builds a world where dancefloor rhythm meets intimate introspection, for global dance culture and late-night listening.

The album opens with raw, emotional loss of love and personal clarity in tracks such as “Breaking My Heart” and “Found What’s Right for Me.” “The Club Song” and “Too Hot to Handle” up the dancefloor ante with thick club beats and game tension. “Mystique of Love (What’s Behind Your Smile)” has an air of mystery about it and is delivered with smooth R&B vibes, while “I Just Wanna Love You Now” is all about passion and urgency.

The mid-section tracks extend the emotional palette of the record. The smooth pop and soul elements of “I Am the Right Guy” promise confident self-confidence, and the next track, “On to You,” plays on attraction and groove. “Love Give Me a Sign (Velvet Switchblade) 2” mixes openness with gritty funk textures, while “No More Lonely Nights” is introspective ambient soul. “Hit Me with Your Love” has a lot more rhythm and a lot more dance energy. “Let Me School You (Vocal Version)” is a fun, funky education, and “Turn It up-2” adds to the club vibe with techno-infused layers.

The final section of “The Vault 3 – Club/Dance/R&B-Soul/Funk/Pop/Techno/Etc.” wraps everything up with warmth, groove, and emotional closure in the remaining songs. The album’s energy is carried by “Send U My Love,” “A Funk Groove,” and “Hold on Now,” the album’s lead single, balanced with romance and dance-driven momentum. Closing the album is “Midnight Love Serenade (Honeyed Girl),” bringing late-night softness and texture. C’batch describes the project as electronic adrenaline meets deep soul groove, a late-night global dance culture, and an immersive listening experience for the modern club listener around the world today.
