Orlando-based rapper Rico Cartel spins tales about his life on the street and his journey to becoming a rap star.

He broke through in 2017 upon releasing the track "Thuggin Witcha," which would appear on his debut mixtape, Rise of Rico. He took extended breaks between releases, but always found new creative energy eventually, as he did in 2019 after releasing two mixtapes, Jungle Szn and Clever Lil Steppa. A third mixtape emerged in 2021, Legendary Nightz.
