Chicago rapper RondoNumbaNine shared a message on his Instagram page after surpassing the 7-year mark in prison. The then-19-year-old rapper was sentenced to 39 years in prison for the 2014 murder of a taxi driver, and he let his fans know that he's not letting his spirits get down behind bars. 

He wrote, "Been gone 7 still got that feelin in my heart still got that real shit in my veins! See I was already getting that back then but now imma a different type turned into a real rare breed thru my experience I showed y’all I’m like no other (Rondonumbanine), just thinking about my legacy I had to zone all the way in dodge the hate but I showed I’m really that thru my daily activity’s !
