HipHopDX Premiere: Low End Theory regular, 2007 Scribble Jam champ, and founder of Hellfyre Club Nocando (real name James McCall) has been steadily grinding out material for the past several years, consistently polishing his craft.

His latest Jack Jr-produced single, “El Camino,” dives head first into the current cultural climate and dissects what “white privilege” means to him through a metaphor about the Chevy El Camino he never got. He boldly states, “Black Lives Matter’s just a popular phrase/All lives matter is what I’m not going to say/Blue lives matter if a cop was a race/No lives matter shoot a cop in the face.”

“This song is inspired by the book The Wretched of the Earth,” Nocando tells DX. “The song was originally supposed to be called ‘Wretched.’ It was also inspired by the riots that ruined my city when I was a child. It was inspired by my unexplainable ambivalence toward the Black Lives Matter hashtag; Colin Kaepernick’s sweet gesture, the growing pains of a people that realize that the authority isn’t the authority because of a superior moral or intelligence, but because of power. It’s inspired by me and my friends — people who think like me.”
