L.A. vs Hollywood. Are you ready?

About Me

The best not-so-kept secret in Los Angeles is NoCanDo. With 6 years of active duty in his local scene under his belt that compliments the five years of battle domination, it's no wonder that he has earned respect from peers, veterans, and up-and-comers alike.
NoCanDo's track record consist of released collaborations with artist such as; Subtitle/Gold Standard Laboratories, Thavius Beck/Mush Records, Aceyalone, Murs/Living Legends/Def Jux, Lucky I Am/Living Legends, Busdriver, Abstract Rude, 2mex/visionaries, LMNO/visionaries, Pumpkinhead and many others.
He has held his own performing on bills with such big names as MF Doom, Supernatural, Cee Lo Green, Cypress hill, Snoop Dogg, Souls Of Mischief, Typical Cats, The Chicharones, Grand Buffet, The Visionaries, Living Legends, Aceyalone, Nancy Sinatra, Rock Band the "Fucking Champs", and hes also one of the few performers to open up for the electronic band Autechre.
One thing NoCanDo wants you to know about his music is that "it is witty and unpredictable. My lyrics are very rhythmic, pattern consciuos, full of emotional content and social commentary but I try to avoid being preachy. My style is considerably atypical from what you would expect when you talk to me."
Countless thursday nights in Lemeirt Park in the Crenshaw District in South Central L.A. has made him Project Blowed's new school posterboy. Numerous battle wins (and losses) has made him Customer Service's not afraid to get dirty guy. While wearing those badges this Angelino has traveled to British Colombia, Colombia, Boston, New York, France, England, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and countless other locations giving music fans a taste of L.A's main exports -- blue collars, brown skies, bright lights, and bullshit.
With all that said be on the look out for this new artist. Nocando is sure to impress you, and leave town with kudos and approval from music fans. Thanks and your welcome.
NOCANDO is Resident MC at LOW END THEORY every Wednesday night in Los Angeles. Click the flyer above for more information.

Band Members: As of now I'm working on a solo album with Alpha Pup records, I am a member of customer service, I am a certified Blowdian, I work with an assortment of producers and all that good shit plus DJ Handprints is my road dog.
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, Slum Village, and all that was Rawkus records at that time. I got into shit like atmosphere Aesop rock Murs and Cannibal ox shortly after that. I've always been an Outkast fan I was raised of of west coast gangster rap, Los Angeles Bayarea and Sacramento. The first eastcoast rapper I appreciated was Redman then came your Jay Z's and Nas's. That got me prime to go back to more classic shit 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.
