When it comes to his reality, Quando Rondo doesn’t sugarcoat, and his new single, “Life Goes On,” is yet another uncensored chapter of his life. The Savannah, Georgia rapper delivers a visceral commentary on heartbreak, survival, and street shenanigans. This is a window into Rondo’s universe, where pain and persistence thrive simultaneously.
From the jump, “Life Goes On” pulls listeners into its emotional heft. Over a melancholy beat, Rondo’s signature melodic flow scrapes and wanders, creating the mood for the raw confessions to come. He reflects not just on his heartbreak and the loss that sticks around but the larger context surrounding him, a place fraught with conflict and division. Lines about the hazards of street life and the senseless separation by colors create depth in the track, the lyrics making it known that this is a story of many.
Rondo’s juxtaposition of pain and perseverance makes “Life Goes On” hit differently. And while he is forthright about the struggles, that is also countered by a message of perseverance. Life doesn’t stop for grief, betrayal, or setbacks, but it rolls on, and so does he. This blending of realness and relatability has maintained Rondo’s fanbase from day one.
The subsequent music video doubles down on the song’s themes, bringing his lyrics to life in a cinematic and intimate way. Filmed in a way that puts you in the visceral core of his world, it tells a story of struggle, loyalty, and the relentless drive not to get stuck in what you’ve been born into. Rondo embraces his platform to convey real-life feelings and situations people can identify with.
