Check Out Rico Nasty’s ‘Countin Up’ Documentary
Presented courtesy of The FADER and filmmaker Orian Barki:
In the new FADER doc, Countin’ Up, she opens up about her personal life behind the music and rock star persona she exudes in the public eye. She painfully remembers the close relationship she had with her son’s father before he passed due to an asthma attack and the ensuing trauma, which included attempted suicide on two occasions. As a result, she’s become one of music’s most selfish selfless artists: projecting the self-confidence young women flock to and reminding people that she’s got to take care of her own because she knows no one else will.
