DJ Vlad and Trap Lore Ross discussed the complex and perilous situation surrounding rapper Quando Rondo. The conversation highlights the impact of entourages on hip-hop culture and the violence that often stems more from associates than the artists themselves. Vlad emphasized that entourages, often composed of intimidating figures with questionable backgrounds, tend to attract trouble, as seen in Rondo's predicament. Despite Rondo's musical success, including collaborations with NBA YoungBoy, he's mired in legal issues, largely due to his associations.
Ross echoed this sentiment, expressing sympathy for Rondo's unique challenges. He noted that Rondo, embroiled in disputes with notorious Chicago gangs, finds himself in an inescapable cycle of violence, forcing him to rely on street associates for protection. This dangerous environment has exacerbated tensions, culminating in the murder of Rondo's cousin, Lul Pab, allegedly by affiliates of rival rapper Lil Durk. Ross highlighted the rapper's ongoing struggle to navigate this volatile landscape while maintaining his career, reflecting a broader issue within the hip-hop community.
