Quando Rondo Pays Homage To Late Cousin On New Track Following Lil Durk’s Arrest

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, Lil Durk was arrested in Florida for alleged murder-for-hire. Reportedly, the Chicago rapper faces life imprisonment or the death penalty if found guilty. His arrest took place hours after five alleged OTF members were arrested and hit with similar charges. Authorities believe they were allegedly hired to kill Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s 2020 death. In 2022, Quando Rondo and his cousin Lul Pab’s vehicle got shot up at an LA gas station. Quando Rondo survived while Lul Pab died as a result of his injuries.

As details of Durk’s arrest spread online, social media users have been eager to hear from Quando Rondo. He’s yet to issue a direct response to the arrest, but he did release a new song, “Life Goes On.” The emotional track pays homage to Lul Pab and his other late loved ones and features lyrics about being “scarred” by their passing.

The song arrived alongside a cinematic accompanying music video, which appears to be resonating with fans so far. While it’s unconfirmed whether or not Quando Rondo already had plans to drop the song before Durk’s arrest, viewers doubt that the release could be a coincidence. The video comes amid reports that Durk allegedly tried to flee the country prior to his arrest.

According to Associated Press, he allegedly booked flights from Florida to Switzerland, Dubai, and Italy. He was taken into custody before he was able to board any of them. In her affidavit, FBI Agent Sarah Corcoran alleges that OTF members engage “in violence, including murder and assault, at the direction of Banks and to maintain their status in OTF.” What do you think of Quando Rondo’s new track, “Life Goes On”? What about him dropping it right after Lil Durk was arrested for alleged murder-for-hire? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Quando Rondo has his fair share of rap beefs, but unfortunately, he suffered a lot of loss in his life that paints them with a darker context.

Quando Rondo Suffers Heartbreaking Loss

March 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rapper Quando Rondo is mourning the loss of yet another close friend, adding to the tragedy he suffered a while back with his late friend Lul Pab. It was after Lul Pab’s passing that Quando Rondo made the decision to quit his affiliation with gang activity. The rapper took to social media to express his grief and pay tribute to his friend. Both Quando and Lul were caught in a shootout that led to the latter’s death, while Quando witnessed the whole incident. Understandably, he took that incident as a sign to back off from his dangerous habits.

Due to the last year, Quando is making a lot of changes in his life. He dropped new music, proposed to his girlfriend, and cut a lot of ties. He remains fiercely loyal to Lul Pab, and actively calls out those he feels are being disloyal to his friend. Among all of this, however, it has now come out that Quando Rondo is in mourning again. While the identity of his friend still remains a mystery, Quando’s heartbreak is apparent. The rapper has taken to social media and music to express his anguish over his lost friends.

Quando Rondo In Mourning

Fans and fellow artists have come forward to offer their condolences to Quando Rondo. Additionally, many are sharing messages of love and support on social media. The rapper’s followers have also praised him for being open and honest about his emotions. Quando’s fans also acknowledge and respect his ability to use his platform to raise awareness about the impact of violence within communities. Apart from his recent loss, Quando is no stranger to losing his friends. Until the passing of Lul Pab, Quando had been caught up in multiple gang-related activities.

However, not every person feels compelled to support the rapper in his difficult time. Former fans of King Von are quick to point out his connections with those responsible for King’s death. Currently, Quando Rondo spends his time making music connecting with other musicians. He currently has new music coming out, which makes references to a number of his late friends.

Quando Rondo Unveils New Single “Long Live Pabb”

January 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Quando Rondo pays homage to his late friend in his new single “Long Live Pabb.”

This week, the Georgia rapper unveiled his latest single in dedication to Lul Pab. “Long Live Pabb” showcases Quando Rondo’s vulnerability even further as he reflects on the passing of his friend. However, the song also looks at the dangers that follow rappers, especially those with ties to the streets. He expresses remorse for not riding in bulletproof vehicles while also reflecting on what would’ve gone differently.

“Long Live Pabb” is a direct response to the August 2022 shooting that left his associate dead. Rumors initially surfaced surrounding a shooting in Los Angeles that involved Rondo. At the time, rumors suggested that he was injured. However, his team later clarified that he left the scene unscathed.

“Quando was involved in a shooting yesterday evening [Friday] which resulted in the untimely death of another’s young man’s life; he himself didn’t sustain any injuries during the shooting and is safe,” a statement from Quando’s team read.

However, police said that Quando Rondo was the initial target of the shooting.

Despite the attempt on his life, Quando Rondo continued to pump out a significant amount of music. He teamed up with NBA Youngboy for their joint project, 3860, along with dishing out singles like “Cream Soda” and “War Baby.” His last solo project, Still Taking Risks, dropped in 2021.

Check out Quando Rondo’s new single below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
The only reason that I screamed out, “No,” I seen my n***a dead
They laughed at me and made a joke, but never seen a n***a bled
I gotta roll me up some dope ’cause I can’t get this out my head
That’s all I see when I get sleep, so I don’t barely go to bed
