Rapper Rico Nasty and producer/DJ Boys Noize have made a habit out of turning genres on their head, stepping outside of drawn lines, and adding a somewhat aggressive bent to whatever project is in front of them. So, it comes as no surprise that both absolutely love the idiosyncratic, wildly creative, one of a kind artist Arca. Listen to Rico Nasty and Boys Noize explain why they admire Arca so much on this episode of The Spark Parade above or wherever you get your podcasts.
Both Rico Nasty and Boys Noise immediately took to Arca’s talents for melding genres, her boundless imagination, and her prolific output. “It’s one of my favorite things to see in music,” Rico Nasty explains of Arca’s intense solo and production schedule. “It’s just something to be studied. The grind is insane, for real.”
“I’m going to go out there and say that she might be the greatest artist of our generation right now,” Boys Noize adds. “When you see her perform or you listen to her music, it makes people so confident, as well, [in] being different or not being afraid to be who you are. That’s so powerful.”
More than just fans, Arca even appears on Boys Noize Records signee Safety Trance’s song “El Alma Que Te Trajo,” which, as Boys Noize tells it, was a dream scenario.
