We don’t get to see too many underground artists from the DMV shine and that’s why we’re here to present RicoStacxin. Representing for Washington D.C. in particular, Rico has an abundance of different flows and styles that you can definitely vibe with on any day. He just released the State of Mind EP which features 5 solo tracks and “Soulja” featuring Lil Mikey. Rico starts off the EP hot and high with “In Motion” with hard auto-tune bars. “Soulja” and “What They Gon Say” take more of a melodic approach but still slides with trap bass.
“State of Mind” serves as a turning point, where Rico is tying the songs together gradually. This song is kind of a mix of the melodic and rap components from the previous. “Clear” is a fan favorite, so much so that there’s a music video out for you to go enjoy. Wrapping up with “Troop Anthem”, he definitely has to make sure he’s stamping himself hard enough for people to remember, that he will shut down any opposition. Overall this is a very entertaining project; Rico may be young but he holds a lot of potential and has definitely caught eyes of big names. This is someone to look out for. Stream State of Mind now.
