Rondoe

Rondoe, a Kansas City rapper from the city’s East Side neighborhood known as “The Fifties,” carved out a local legacy with his laidback, high-pitched flow and gritty street narratives. Rising to prominence in the late 2000s, he became a fixture in the regional scene with projects like *Coonin’* (2009) and *Authentic* (2010), blending original beats with collaborations featuring KCMO artists such as Ron Ron, Cash Image, and Lil Mo. His style—often compared to Bay Area rapper J Stalin—combined effortless, drawling delivery with hard-hitting lyrics, cementing his reputation through mixtapes like *Still Trippin Off Old Shit* and compilation appearances like *The Block Movement*.

Active through the early 2010s, Rondoe released consistent projects including *Big Bizness* (with Lil Mo) and *Mobbin Da Mixtape* (2011), while contributing to local anthems like the *Man In My City* remix. His Instagram presence (@therealrondoe) maintained a connection with fans until his passing in 2019, leaving behind a catalog that captured Kansas City’s underground rap energy during its late-2000s resurgence.
