"Please"
Rico Love Featuring Pusha TRico Love enjoyed a noteworthy 2015, during which he raised his stock with a number of key leaks and collaborations, culminating in the release of his debut album, Turn the Lights On. Fresh off the road after linking up with Monica on her Code Red Experience tour, Rico throws down the gauntlet with his first single of the new year, "Please." Featuring Pusha T, the singer-songwriter acknowledges his shortcomings, but begs for forgiveness and for the woman scorned to not pursue his friends in a quest for revenge against him. On the song, Rico reveals his vulnerabilities over the track and starts the year of right with a solid ballad.
