Nocando's Zero Hour FreeEP

You already know the company line on Nocando.  In consecutive songs on his new Zero Hour EP, he spits hard as Hell(fyre) double-time raps referencing Oedipus Rex. The next song is called "Westside Rentals" and finds him dreaming of a "house with a pool on the Westside with a black Betty Page sitting deckside."It's smart, absurd, and well-rapped. What more do you want?

Regional rap has been the Internet buzzword for about a decade and Jimmy the Lock's songs capture the feeling of being a 20-something dreamer questing for a better life in LA.  It's somewhere between the cartoon anarchy of Odd Future and the gangsta art-rap of Black Hippy.  Raps about the silent majority. Beats from Mexicans with Guns, Nosaj Thing, and Busdriver.   I'll stop now. You download.
