Los Angeles MC and Hellfyre Club founder Nocando might be
more well known for his world class freestyling ability than for his actual
musical output, but I have a feeling that might change after the release of his upcoming 2nd solo album
Jimmy The Burnout.
The lead single “Little Green Monsters” just
received a killer video treatment that makes an already really cool song that
much more memorable.
It’s not exactly
clear what’s going on in the video beyond Nocando being able to seemingly
transport himself into whatever he’s watching on TV mixed with close-up shots
of his blood covered head spinning while he raps and screams, but it works.
It’s simple but disorienting and fits the song’s
schizophrenic feel like a glove.
A psychedelic, hazy chorus from Liphemra pulls it all together and makes “Little Green
Monsters” one of the most addictive songs of the year to this point.
