Critic's Take

Rico Nasty arrives on Lethal with the same glorious racket and unapologetic fury that made her a rap-rock force, yet she softens in places to reveal real vulnerability. The review points to opener energy like “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x)” and the aggro charm of “WHO WANT IT” as the record's most intoxicating moments, while the tender closer “SMILE” proves her growth and emotional range. DeAsia Paige writes with brisk admiration - praising the chameleonic tone that lets Rico move from mosh-pit mania to dreamy bubble-trap without losing identity. For listeners asking what the best tracks on Lethal are, the review emphasizes “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x)”, “WHO WANT IT” and the intimate payoff of “SMILE” as the album's high points.

Key Points

• The best song is the high-energy opener lane exemplified by “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x),” which captures Rico’s mosh-pit fury and charm.
• The album’s core strengths are its chameleonic tone and the balance between rage-driven rap-rock and unexpected vulnerability.

Critic's Take

In a bruising, affectionate tone the reviewer argues that Rico Nasty's Lethal contains real high points - notably “On the Low”, “Can’t Win Em All” and the foot-tappy “Crash” - even as the album's tug-of-war between rap and rock keeps it from cohering. The piece relishes Rico's hell-raising energy and live guitars while faulting moments that feel like costume-play rather than catharsis. Said plainly in the review's voice: the best songs on Lethal announce a cutthroat Rico that nearly arrives, the problem is the patchwork prevents full delivery. The result is a frustratingly fun record with distinct standout tracks worth seeking out.

Key Points

• “On the Low” is the emotional centerpiece because it reveals genuine yearning beyond persona.
• Lethal’s core strength is its raw, hell-raising energy and successful rap-rock moments despite uneven execution.

Critic's Take

Hi, everyone. Hypothermia here: on Lethal, Rico Nasty serves her best songs yet, with “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x)”, “ON THE LOW” and “EAT ME!” standing out as the album's most vital moments. The record thrives when Rico leans into that trap-and-rock energy - “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3x)” is a straightforward rap-rock banger while “ON THE LOW” brings a digital, mellow trap chorus that sticks. Deeper cuts like “SON OF A GUN” and “SMOKE BREAK” push into devilish synth fury and full-on punk-metal screams, respectively. The result is a mixed bag but one with unmistakable high points that answer the question of the best tracks on Lethal with real conviction.

Critic's Take

Rico Nasty has always been a glorious, shape-shifting mess, and on Lethal that instability produces the album's best tracks - notably “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3X)” and “GRAVE”. Emma Wilkes's voice here savours the sassy trap-rock of “TEETHSUCKER (YEA3X)”, praising Rico's sharp, raspy flow and brass-knuckled putdowns, while also flagging the pitch-black grit of “GRAVE” as a compelling experiment. The review balances admiration for those standouts with a clear sense that the record's fickle polystylism leaves some songs like “ON THE LOW” and “PINK” feeling cloying or irritating. Overall, the best songs on Lethal are the ones where Rico leans into her sour edges rather than the saccharine ones.

Key Points

• TEETHSUCKER (YEA3X) is best for showcasing Rico's sharp, raspy flow and witty putdowns.
• The album's core strengths are adventurous polystylism and bold tonal experiments, though its scatterbrained execution undercuts consistency.

Critic's Take

Rico Nasty’s Lethal feels both rowdy and reflective, with the best songs balancing festival-ready rage and surprising tenderness. The review praises chest-thumping openers like “WHO WANT IT” and rock-tinged highlights such as “SON OF A GUN” and “SMOKE BREAK” as live-show staples, while quietly singling out “SMILE” as the album’s emotional center. Mark P. Braboy frames the record as lean and neat, applauding the sequencing that pairs riotous bangers with intimate closers, which helps answer which are the best tracks on Lethal. Even the critique of songs like “SAY WE DID” does not obscure that this is Rico sharpening her sound and stretching into new territory.

Key Points

• The best song is "SMILE" for its emotional clarity and soft-rock intimacy that reveals Rico’s priorities.
• The album’s core strengths are tight sequencing, lean song lengths, and successful genre-bending between rap and rock.

Critic's Take

Rico Nasty’s Lethal feels like a decisive reclaiming of territory, with the best tracks staking its claim - “Son of a Gun” and “Smoke Break” stand tallest. The reviewer's tone is admiring and incisive, noting how “Son of a Gun” shows off aggro-rap chops while “Smoke Break” shocks with a throat-slashing screamo bridge and a '90s anime pop-punk refrain. There's also praise for sweeter moments like “Butterfly Kisses” and the clear, modern pop of “On The Low”, which underline the album's range. Overall the record is called her most cohesive and signature work yet, a focused riff on rap-rock and hyperpop-trap traditions.

Key Points

• The best song moments are driven by visceral contrast - aggression in “Son of a Gun” and theatrical screamo-pop in “Smoke Break”.
• The album's core strengths are cohesive genre-melding, strong persona, and balanced shifts between hyperpop-trap sweetness and punk aggression.
