Since his first Independent release "Self Employed" in 2007, several more albums have followed and exceeded expectations of audiences in these border town communities. Besides street hustles, rap has been Nino's passion that blossomed into a catalogue of top notch independent street music. It was through his friendship with DJ Wrecks that Ninos “ SelfEmployed” album landed in the hands of Latin Grammy Winner, Producer/Engineer Jaime ‘Pain’ Ortiz. Ortiz engineered Nino's second album "Deep In The Game" and featured many artist like SPM, Low G, Juan Gotti, Lucky Luciano, Russell Lee, Carolyn Rodriguez, and Rasheed. Nino LJC albums also feature his group The LockJaw Click. His second album reflects largely on his struggle to support his family and children through border trap houses and surviving the streets.

The album features Big Los, Cano Y Blunt, The Dope House Family, LockJaw Click as well as appearances from Bushwick Bill (Rap-A-Lot Records) and Papa Smurf. Now that His 4th album has arrived with collaborations like Lil' Flip, its evident that Houston rap legends will continue to grace his projects. His music reflects the struggles of a drug and cartel infested border town citizen trying to make the transition from illegal to legal hustle: his music.
