Artist

Tyquian Terrel Bowman (born March 23, 1999), better known as Quando Rondo, is an American rapper from Savannah, Georgia. His stage name is a combination of his nickname, Ty-Quando, and his favorite basketball player Rajon Rondo.

Quando initially gained attention with the release of his song “I Remember” with Lil Baby in January 2018. It was followed up by his 2018 debut mixtape, Life B4 Fame which featured his standout track “ABG.” Attracting the attention of YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Quando was later signed to Never Broke Again. Quando later released a sequel to his debut mixtape titled, Life After Fame, featuring one of his most popular tracks, “Kiccin Shit.”

In 2019, Quando released his third mixtape, From the Neighborhood to the Stage which featured his infamous, “Scarred From Love” alongside features from Polo G, NoCap, BlocBoy JB, and Shy Glizzy.

After releasing several mixtapes, on January 10, 2020, Quando released his debut studio album, QPac which featured prevalent artists in the rap industry such as Polo G, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, and Lil Durk. QPac was Quando’s first project to crack the Billboard 200, debuting at #22.

On November 6, 2020, Quando was involved in an altercation with fellow rapper King Von which lead to the death of Von. Following the shooting of Von, Quando revealed that he wouldn’t get booked for shows due to the “terror” behind his name. The shooting also resulted in many rappers deciding not to work with Quando due to their loyalty to Von, causing his next three mixtapes Diary of a Lost Child, Before My Time Up, and Still Taking Risks having no features.

After taking a break until 2022, Quando began to release popular singles such as “Jakiyah,” “Six-0 Business,” and “War Baby.” The singles later lead up to the release of “Give Me A Sign” with YoungBoy Never Broke Again which would further lead to the duo’s collaborative mixtape, 3860.
