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. Nocando has since focused on making and releasing music, only taking time out occasionally to battle.
In January 2012, Nocando released a free EP, Zero Hour. He released "Where's the Money?" in September 2012, and "Up in the Air" in December 2012. In December 2013, he released a single, "Little Green Monsters". His second solo album, Jimmy the Burnout, was released on Hellfyre Club in March 2014.
In 2017, Nocando released an album, Severed. HipHopDX called it "one of Nocando's most powerful albums to date."
