Career

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. He has since focused on making and releasing music, only taking time out occasionally to battle.

In 2010, Nocando released his official debut album, '' Jimmy the Lock'', on Alpha Pup Records. It was produced by Thavius Beck, Nosaj Thing, Free the Robots, Daedelus, and Nicholas Thorburn, among others. In that year, he also released '' Sincerely Yours'', a collaborative EP with Nobody as Bomb Zombies, on Hellfyre Club.

In 2011, he released '' 10 Haters'', a collaborative album with Busdriver as Flash Bang Grenada. ''Alarm'' included it on the "50 Unheralded Albums from 2011" list.

In 2012, Nocando released a free EP, ''Zero Hour'', as well as the singles "Where's the Money?" and "Up in the Air". In 2013, he released a single, "Little Green Monsters". His second solo album, ''Jimmy the Burnout'', was released on Hellfyre Club in 2014.

In 2017, Nocando released ''Severed''. ''HipHopDX'' called it "one of Nocando's most powerful albums to date." ''Uproxx'' named it the 24th best rap album of 2017. In that year, he also released ''King Snake''.

In 2019, Nocando changed his stage name to All City Jimmy, and later removed all Nocando titles from digital retailers.
