Quando Rondo

While working with hard-edged production and powerful delivery, rapper Quando Rondo opts for a more emotionally nuanced lyrical approach with R&B undercurrents that sets him apart from the vast majority of his peers. Even when flowing over-stylized trap beats, his songs are intelligent and complex while still incorporating enough melodic elements to keep them pop friendly. His rise was massive and quick, perhaps best exemplified by the titles of his inspired mixtapes Life B4 Fame, released in April 2018, and Life After Fame, issued just five months later. Quando kept up his prolific streak with the release of his 2020 debut studio album, QPac, mixtapes such as Still Taking Risks (2021), and the YoungBoy Never Broke Again collaboration 3860 (2022). His second studio album, Recovery, appeared in 2023. Born Tyquian Terrel Bowman in 1999, the rapper grew up in Savannah, Georgia; he was interested in music at a young age. He adapted his stage name from his nickname, Ty-Quando, adding "Rondo" at the end because he liked the sound of it. His earliest songs arrived in early 2018, including the wistfully nostalgic single "I Remember," which featured a cameo from Lil Baby, and "Motivation," which found Quando's earnest lyrics coasting over a melancholic piano loop. In the spring of 2018, the powerful Life B4 Fame mixtape was released, showcasing his introspective style and including features from OMB Peezy, Tec, and Lil Durk. The mixtape was an immediate success -- it was streamed millions of times in its first few days alone. With new listeners and fans showing up in droves, Quando didn't slow down for a second, quickly offering a follow-up mixtape, Life After Fame, in September 2018. The project found the young rapper grappling with his newfound success in almost every song, and cameos featured Rich Homie Quan, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Boosie Badazz, and others. In May 2019, Quando released the mixtape From the Neighborhood to the Stage, featuring the tracks "Scarred from Love" and "Imperfect Flower." With guests including NoCap, Polo G, BlocBoy JB, and Shy Glizzy, the mixtape earned Quando his debut on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart, at number 39. After a storm of successful mixtapes, a debut studio album materialized in January 2020 with QPac. The 18-track set explored a plethora of styles and featured appearances from Polo G, Lil Durk, and others and quickly made it to the Billboard charts, debuting at number 22 on the Hot 200 shortly after its release. Quando followed up on that success with the release of the mixtapes Diary of a Lost Child and Before My Time Up later that year, and in 2021 he issued Still Taking Risks and singles like "i8," "The Realest," and "Shine." Numerous solo singles, as well as the YoungBoy collaboration 3860, appeared in 2022. Quando's second studio album, Recovery, arrived in 2023 and reached number 56 on the Billboard 200. The singles "Feel This Way" and "Cash" appeared later in the year.
