Since 2005, No Nonsense has recorded over 400 tracks with various regional and nationally recognized artists, including Divine Mental, Overtime, Jo-Jo, and many more. His latest heavily anticipated project, "The I-5 Bandit," includes appearances from numerous well known acts, such as Nicki Minaj, Mistah FAB, and more.
