Authorities recently indicted Quando Rondo on drug and gang-related charges, alleging he leads the Rollin' 60s organization. During a bond hearing in Georgia on Friday (June 23), his attorney Jonah Pine argued for his prompt release from jail in court. However, his argument contained some interesting references and reasoning in relation to the Savannah native's music career and opportunities. Moreover, he spoke of his placement on Atlantic Records, bringing up the label's extensive and commercially gigantic history, plus their concern for the MC. Even though it may seem odd for spectators of the trial, it would be far from the first time that an artist's success and status tried to be used as an argument for their freedom.
"He’s got the support of one of the greatest record labels in this country,” Pine remarked according to WTOC. “The same record label as Led Zeppelin and Ray Charles, that’s his label. They’ve provided a letter to us, it’s very heartfelt and talks about his career." On the other hand, prosecutors expressed belief in Quando Rondo being a flight risk and posing a dangerous threat to his community.
