Rico Nasty and Boys Noize Collab for Hvrdcore Dr3amz EP

Rico Nasty and dance music savant Boyz Noize have linked up for Hvrdcore Dr3amz EP, a glitchy, thumping EP that's perfect for festival season. Venturing into EDM territory seems like a natural fit for Rico, whose 2022 album Las Ruinas toyed with multiple genres including pop-punk and screamo. Noize and Rico previously dropped off the EP's lead single "Arintintin" back on Feb. 28.

Marciology comes after Roc and The Alchemist's critically lauded album The Elephant Man's Bones, which got the deluxe treatment in 2023.
