Career
[edit | edit source]Nocando began gaining notoriety in Leimert Park's open-mic workshops in South Los Angeles. In the battle circuit, it is believed that he has won a hundred wins over many emcees.[10] He has since focused on making and releasing music, only taking time out occasionally to battle.[11]
In 2010, Nocando released his official debut album, Jimmy the Lock, on Alpha Pup Records.[12] It was produced by Thavius Beck, Nosaj Thing, Free the Robots, Daedelus, and Nicholas Thorburn, among others.[13] In that year, he also released Sincerely Yours, a collaborative EP with Nobody as Bomb Zombies, on Hellfyre Club.[14]
In 2011, he released 10 Haters, a collaborative album with Busdriver as Flash Bang Grenada.[15] Alarm included it on the "50 Unheralded Albums from 2011" list.[16]
In 2012, Nocando released a free EP, Zero Hour,[17] as well as the singles "Where's the Money?"[18] and "Up in the Air".[19] In 2013, he released a single, "Little Green Monsters".[20] His second solo album, Jimmy the Burnout, was released on Hellfyre Club in 2014.[21]
In 2017, Nocando released Severed.[22][23] HipHopDX called it "one of Nocando's most powerful albums to date."[24] Uproxx named it the 24th best rap album of 2017.[25] In that year, he also released King Snake.[25]
In 2019, Nocando changed his stage name to All City Jimmy,[1] and later removed all Nocando titles from digital retailers.[26]
