  • Bio

    The L.A. underground has many voices, some covered in grit and dirt, some slapping the halt, some hitting high and brassy -- but none ring truer than that of Nocando. A seasoned member of the hip-hop community who isn't content to count his battle scars by the dozens, Nocando brings fresh rhymes week after week at the world-renowned club night Low End Theory where he is the resident host, as well as to a variety of steazy joints all around the West Coast... .. With a witty style and open voice, Nocando's raps are unpredictable, funny and lean towards social commentary, although this MC is just as likely to tell you about a wild night on the streets of L.A. as to make a point about the fallacies of the music industry. Brash and confident while also being laid back, Nocando's lyrical delivery is an apt representative of the California attitude. Winner of the MC Battle at the 2007 Scribble Jam, the largest hip-hop festival in the nation, Nocando's mouth often seems to have a life of its own, throwing an excited energy onto any crowd he meets and providing an important connection between the music and the dance floor... .. Nocando's debut album, ..Jimmy the Lock.., drops on Alpha Pup Records January 26th, 2010; the initial single "Hurry Up and Wait" has garnered raving reviews from widespread locales and boasts beats from the top of the Los Angeles underground: Nosaj Thing, Nobody, Daedelus, Thavius Beck, Free the Robots, Maestroe, Th' Corn Gang and with scratching by Gaslamp Killer. The MC has also released a myriad of collaborations with artists such as Subtitle, Aceyalone, Murs, Luckyiam, Busdriver, Abstract Rude, 2mex, and many others... .. Never afraid to get dirty, Nocando has won (and lost) numerous rap battles. Countless Thursday nights spent spitting freestyle in Leimert Park in the Crenshaw District of South Central L.A. established him as Project Blowed's new school poster boy and a Customer Service hard hitter. The tireless MC has traveled to New York City, Boston, Canada, France, England, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Colombia, Japan and many other locations giving international music fans a taste of Los Angeles' main exports: blue collars, brown skies, bright lights, and bullshit... .. With almost a decade of active duty in the L.A. beat scene and plenty of battle trophies under his belt, Nocando has earned the respect of peers, veterans and newcomers alike. Unpredictable and vivacious, Nocando will light any night and every crowd with his clever words and dynamic delivery style. With the continued convergence of the hip hop and electronic music communities in Los Angeles and around the world, Nocando is poised to shout his drops from the peak of the movement all the way to the vibrating dance floor of the underground... .. ........ .. NOCANDO is Resident MC at ..LOW END THEORY.. every Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Click the flyer above for more information. .. .. Booking:Peter Agoston..

  • Influences

    ..My most important inlfuences are these four fellow blowdians; Rhymin Riddlore from CVE, Otherwize, Aceyalone, and last but not least Subtitle. When I decided I wanted to be a rapper back in high school I was listening Yukmouth, Eminem, Black Star, Juvenille, Slum Village, and all that was Rawkus records at that time. I got into acts like Atmosphere, Aesop rock, Murs and, Cannibal ox shortly after that. I've always been an Outkast fan and I was raised off of west coast gangster rap, Los Angeles Bayarea and Sacramento. The first east coast rapper I appreciated was Redman then came your Jay Z's and Nas's. That got me prime to go back to more classic emcees and allows me to say that KooL G Rap is one of my influences. Non hip hop mentions go to Nina Simone, Kurt Cobaine, Gill Scott Heron, and Lead Belly. ......
