Lil Durk Arrested on Federal “Murder-for-Hire” Charge in Connection to Death of Quando Rondo’s Cousin Lul Pab

Broward County, FL— In a dramatic turn of events, Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Durk, born Durk Derrick Banks, has been taken into custody by U.S. Marshals and is being held at Broward County Correctional Facility in Florida. He faces extradition to California, where federal authorities have leveled a serious charge of "murder for hire" against him. The high-profile case is linked to the death of Lul Pab, cousin to fellow rapper Quando Rondo, in what prosecutors describe as a violent, retaliatory act related to the 2020 death of Chicago rapper King Von.

The Allegations: A Retaliation Plot for King Von's Death

Federal prosecutors in California announced the indictment on Thursday, revealing that the charge stems from an August 2022 incident in Los Angeles in which Quando Rondo’s cousin, known as Lul Pab, was fatally shot. Prosecutors claim the motive is rooted in the November 2020 altercation in Atlanta, where King Von, a close associate of Lil Durk and an influential figure in Chicago’s drill music scene, was shot and killed by Lul Timm, a known associate of Quando Rondo, after a brawl broke out.

Authorities allege that Lil Durk’s group, known as OTF (Only The Family), orchestrated a plot to exact revenge for King Von's death. The indictment suggests that OTF members sought retribution by placing a bounty on Quando Rondo’s head, an alleged conspiracy to commit murder for hire aimed at avenging their fallen friend.

Federal Indictment and the OTF Connection

Five men reportedly affiliated with Lil Durk's OTF label have also been indicted on conspiracy charges for their involvement in the alleged murder-for-hire plot. Those named in the grand jury indictment include:

Kavon London Grant (aka "Vonnie")

Deandre Dontrell Wilson (aka "DeDe")

Keith Jones (aka "Flacka")

David Brian Lindsey (aka "Browneyez")

Asa Houston (aka "Boogie")

According to prosecutors, these individuals used a credit card associated with the OTF label to fund their travels from Chicago to California. Court documents allege they booked flights to Los Angeles after discovering Quando Rondo's whereabouts, intent on carrying out a targeted attack on him. The group reportedly coordinated with precision to locate and ultimately eliminate their target, prosecutors claim.

A Long Shadow Cast by King Von’s Death

The 2020 murder of King Von had a profound impact on Chicago’s music scene and the personal lives of those closest to him. In the wake of his death, tensions between affiliated groups in Atlanta and Chicago escalated, setting off a chain of violent encounters. Authorities suggest that the August 2022 shooting was fueled by those same tensions, framing it as a calculated and highly organized act of retribution by individuals still deeply affected by Von's passing.

The timing of this indictment and Lil Durk’s arrest has already sparked significant discussion and debate across social media, particularly within the hip-hop community. The legal repercussions and public scrutiny surrounding this case highlight the ongoing violence that has affected many artists and the far-reaching impacts of these rivalries.

Awaiting Extradition and Legal Proceedings

Lil Durk now awaits extradition from Broward County to California, where he will face federal charges in connection to the case. The indictment against him, coupled with his ties to the alleged OTF conspirators, marks a pivotal moment in his career and may have significant legal implications for the influential Chicago-based rapper. If convicted on the murder-for-hire charge, the penalties could be severe, with potential sentences ranging up to life in prison.

The Ongoing Impact on Hip-Hop and Street Culture

This high-stakes legal case is another reminder of the intersection between the music industry and street culture, with both fans and artists deeply invested in the unfolding narrative. Lil Durk’s arrest underscores the cyclical violence that continues to plague the hip-hop community, especially within the competitive drill scene. This case serves as a stark example of how past incidents can continue to influence and shape the lives and careers of those involved, often with tragic outcomes.

OTP.C4: From Compton to Stardom – A Journey of Music, Hustle, and Heart

Emerging from the streets of Compton, OTP.C4 is making waves in the West Coast music scene with his unique sound and powerful storytelling. After winning the spotlight on the Liq Podcast and securing a victory at an open mic night, the rapper-singer-songwriter is positioning himself to be the next big thing. In an exclusive interview with trapLA, OTP.C4 opens up about his musical beginnings, challenges as an independent artist, and the inspiration behind his hit track “Ball.”

Compton Roots and Musical Beginnings

When asked about his early inspiration, OTP.C4 reflects on the artists who sparked his passion for music, citing names like Chris Brown, Mario, and Usher. “What inspired me to get into music was listening to other big artists growing up at the time,” he says. While his Compton upbringing didn’t initially shape his artistry, it became a crucial influence as he grew older. “Compton didn’t really influence me as an artist until I got older, as far as my struggle and what I put into the music—my story.”

His journey from Compton to the stage has been anything but easy. Facing label fallouts and navigating life as an independent artist without management, OTP.C4 has had to grind and hustle his way to where he is today. “Some of the biggest challenges have been things like label fallouts, and now just maintaining myself independently… learning, and trying to stay consistent.”

The Rise of “Ball”

OTP.C4’s latest single, “Ball,” has been generating buzz, and for good reason. The track is an anthem for anyone who’s ever dreamed of leveling up. “‘I just wanna ball with my dawgs, I do. Wanna touch a hundred M’s with my dawgs, I do,’” he recites the lyrics, adding, “It gives inspiration and touches people to wanna get up and go get it. Coming out the hood, we lose people every day, so go get it before God pulls your card.”

The song captures the essence of ambition and resilience, a message deeply rooted in OTP.C4’s personal journey. It’s an anthem not just for the streets, but for anyone striving to rise above their circumstances and make something of themselves.

Fitting Into Compton’s Legacy

Coming from a city that birthed legends like Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar, OTP.C4 feels both the pressure and privilege of contributing to Compton’s rich musical legacy. “I’ll fit in perfectly, I feel, with my unique sound and versatile flow along with the greats. It ain’t on me, it’s in me,” he confidently declares.

His versatility is what sets him apart. Describing his sound as “soulful, versatile, kinda angelic,” OTP.C4 explains how his style makes listeners do a double-take. “It’s like, ‘I can’t believe this is that type of feeling,’” he says, emphasizing how he approaches each beat with relentless energy and authenticity.

Staying Connected to His Roots

Despite his rising fame, OTP.C4 remains deeply connected to his Compton roots. His community, he says, gave him purpose. “My community shaped me as a person. I wouldn’t walk how I do, talk, feel music how I do, etc., without my community,” he shares. His loyalty to his hood is unwavering, and he continues to give back in any way he can.

He’s also quick to offer advice to up-and-coming artists: “Follow your gut. Be yourself in any situation, and let your creative mindset take over with everything you do. Be true to who you are as an artist.”

What’s Next for OTP.C4?

After the success of “Ball,” OTP.C4 has more in store for his fans. “Ball was just one of the hit singles I dropped about a month ago leading up to the release of my album, Out the Projects 2, out now on all platforms,” he says. As for what’s next, OTP.C4 is just getting started. “The goal I’m still chasing is to be the biggest singer in the world. To be the greatest. I’m just now getting started.”

With a sound that’s versatile and a hustle that’s relentless, OTP.C4 is poised to take over the rap game, one song at a time.

O'Shae Speaks His Truth: From "8am in Family Court" to "Ladies Love O'Shae / Ni99as Hate S.O.A.P."

In the world of rap, authenticity is currency, and O'Shae (UCanCallMeSoap) has plenty of it. With raw, unfiltered honesty, the L.A.-based rapper is captivating audiences with his latest project, Ladies Love O'Shae / Ni99as Hate S.O.A.P. and the poignant single "8am in Family Court." This interview dives deep into O'Shae’s journey, creative process, and his unwavering commitment to staying true to himself amidst the chaos of the music industry.

A Father’s Fight: The Story Behind "8am in Family Court"

For O'Shae, "8am in Family Court" is more than music—it’s his lived experience. “My inspiration for the record came from personal experiences. I’ve been battling in court for custody of my daughter for years now,” he explains. The track is a powerful outlet for his frustrations, a way to release emotions without succumbing to destructive behaviors. “A lot of fathers never get the opportunity to feel heard or understood when it comes to their children, and I want to let it be known that that’s not true.”

The song’s title carries weight, symbolizing the countless mornings he and his family have spent in courtrooms. “Some days were better than others, but we show up and continue to fight,” he shares. His hope is to inspire other fathers to persevere. “I pray that my message touches the hearts of men who feel discouraged when their bitter baby mommas try to use their child as a pawn. You’re not alone. There’s a way to have your children—you just have to trust the process.”

Bringing the Vision to Life

O'Shae’s dedication to authenticity shines in the music video for "8am in Family Court." Collaborating with videographer Skinny Kenny, he integrated personal elements like a viral video of his daughter, family photos, and even court documents served to him. “I wanted to make it as authentic as possible and show that I am a real father who has been present in my child’s life since birth,” he says. The visuals encapsulate his raw emotions and determination to keep fighting.

Duality and Growth: "Ladies Love O'Shae / Ni99as Hate S.O.A.P."

With Ladies Love O'Shae / Ni99as Hate S.O.A.P., O'Shae explores a dual narrative. The first half celebrates women, offering tracks designed to uplift and empower. “I wanted to create a project my female audience could listen to and feel respected—something to boost their confidence,” he explains.

The second half confronts envy and resentment. “No matter how much love and respect I show, some people will always hate,” O'Shae says. “It used to bother me, but now I embrace it. People don’t like others being better than them, and I’ve never had to be anyone but me.” This unapologetic self-awareness fuels the project’s raw honesty.

Lessons from The Liq Podcast Open Mic

Despite winning his round on The Liq Podcast Open Mic, O'Shae’s experience wasn’t without challenges. Reflecting on his tension with the host, he says, “I feel like he was looking for viral moments to boost his audience. As soon as I felt the energy turn negative, I knew it was best to remove myself.” While critical of the platform’s professionalism, he acknowledges a takeaway: “There are weirdos in the industry, and I could have handled it differently by not giving him the satisfaction.”

Evolving as an Artist

O'Shae’s growth is evident in his willingness to take creative risks. “I’m singing on a few records now, something I wasn’t comfortable with before,” he reveals. His track “15 More Mins” pays homage to the late Drakeo The Ruler, showcasing his evolving wordplay and versatility. “Although I’m not against criticism, I know who I am and what I’m capable of. I’m claiming the whole road as my own.”

Advice for Aspiring Artists

For those navigating the industry, O'Shae offers wisdom forged through experience: “Keep God first. Surround yourself with solid, loving people. Stay true to yourself and know that everyone isn’t your friend. Plenty of people are waiting for you to crash out, but you’ve got to believe you’re better than that.”

What’s Next for O'Shae?

Fans can expect visuals from Ladies Love O'Shae / Ni99as Hate S.O.A.P., along with a new EP titled Son of a Pimp on the horizon. He’ll also be performing at Pookie F’n Rude’s Fire & Water Sign Birthday Bash with DJ Carisma on November 22 and at Ivery Da Goddess & Friends next month. “I’m always in motion,” he says confidently.

Connecting with O'Shae

O'Shae’s journey is deeply personal, and he invites fans to join him every step of the way. “Follow me on all social media platforms @UCanCallMeSoap and find my music on any streaming platform under ‘O’Shae,’” he says.

With each track, video, and performance, O'Shae is proving that his story—and his voice—are here to stay.

K.Flexin: From Humble Beginnings to Living Legend—A Journey of Growth, Inspiration, and Resilience

In the fast-paced world of music, few artists manage to balance raw authenticity with calculated artistry. K.Flexin, a two-time winner on The Liq Podcast Open Mic, is one of those rare talents. With his newly released eight-song solo project Living Legend, he’s proving his worth in the game. This in-depth interview captures the essence of his journey, his creative evolution, and his dreams for the future.

The Drive Behind the Win

Winning The Liq Podcast Open Mic twice is no small feat, and for K.Flexin, it wasn’t just about taking the title. “I was doing it to be heard,” he shares. “If it takes paying $50 to play a two-minute song, I’ll do it. I’ll do what it takes to push my music.” His willingness to invest in himself and his craft underscores his relentless work ethic.

Living Legend: The Inspiration and Vision

K.Flexin’s latest project, Living Legend, is deeply personal. The title itself reflects a long-held belief in his potential. “I’ve always said I wanted a ‘Living Legend’ tattoo since middle school,” he reveals. “Now I have it in each ear, reminding myself to manifest being a legend while breathing.”

This project stands out because it’s purely K.Flexin—no features, just raw talent. Inspired by constructive criticism received on The Liq Podcast, he set out to prove his capabilities. “I wanted to show I’m capable of creating songs without a backbone,” he says. The attention to detail in Living Legend—lyricism, beat selection, and storytelling—is a step up from his earlier work. “I feel like I projected my voice way more than before,” he notes.

Tracks That Define Him

Two songs hold special meaning for K.Flexin: “Why Would I?” and “Love of Mine.” The former was a last-minute creation born out of spontaneity. “I sat in the living room, looked at the wall, and said, ‘Why would I?’ The rest flowed naturally,” he recalls. The grime-heavy track showcases his gritty delivery and meticulous production choices.

On the other hand, “Love of Mine” stemmed from a unique inspiration. Sampling a Japanese group called DOUBLE, K.Flexin crafted a heartfelt love story. “My mom and a friend told me I needed to make a love song, so I poured my heart out and made a storyline with true events,” he shares. The song is both vulnerable and authentic, reflecting his growth as an artist.

Growth and Challenges

From his first appearance on The Liq Podcast to now, K.Flexin’s evolution is palpable. “I’ve learned to read the room and understand what the judges pick at versus what they praise,” he explains. His newfound confidence, while mistaken by some as cockiness, is a testament to his commitment to growth. “I’m not trying to be big-headed. I’m manifesting and pushing myself to be bigger than I imagine.”

His journey hasn’t been without struggles. Finding his sound amidst challenges like slurring, stuttering, and talking fast was a significant hurdle. “It shaped me to push my music more and ensure it’s not only catchy but quality,” he says. Today, he refuses to release a track unless it’s properly mixed and mastered, a testament to his high standards.

A Memorable Milestone

One of K.Flexin’s proudest moments was his first viral song, “Back From The Dead,” created with his cousin. “I went from paying for his studio time to making music for fun, to dropping a video, to making our first tape together,” he says. The song’s success marked a turning point, solidifying his place in the industry. “It was the clearest, catchiest, and quickest song we made together.”

Representing L.A.

K.Flexin’s music is deeply rooted in his L.A. upbringing. “I reference a lot of South Central streets, stories, and landmarks in my music,” he says. Whether reflecting on day-to-day encounters or crafting female-centric tracks, his lyrics channel an alter ego that fans might not catch in regular conversation. “Nine times out of ten, I’m speaking from true experience or preference.”

The Artists Who Shaped Him

K.Flexin’s influences are as eclectic as they are extensive. From West Coast legends like DJ Quik, Suga Free, and E-40 to icons like Biggie, 50 Cent, and Wu-Tang, his inspirations are woven into his music. “I think of ways to incorporate my listening selection into my music through samples and references,” he shares.

Lessons for Aspiring Artists

K.Flexin’s advice to up-and-coming rappers is simple but profound: “Be yourself. That’s what creates your originality. It’s okay to get inspiration or give homage, but be you first.” His journey is a testament to staying authentic while embracing growth.

What’s Next?

With Living Legend making waves, K.Flexin is already planning his next moves. “I’m sitting on a lot of unreleased music and have enough to drop another tape,” he reveals. He’s focused on creating cinematic visuals to accompany his tracks, including a mic performance video for “Why Would I” shot at the Watts Towers.

In five years, he envisions himself running his own label, mentoring artists, and finding ways to monetize music independently. “LaRussell is a big inspiration for me,” he says. On a personal note, he hopes to start a family. “Hopefully by then, I have a baby girl that looks just like me.”

Staying Connected

Fans can keep up with K.Flexin on all platforms under his name. His social media showcases his talents and daily encounters, keeping followers engaged and invested in his journey. With a Linktree in his bio, accessing his full catalog and visuals is just a click away.

K.Flexin’s story is one of persistence, creativity, and authenticity. In his words, “I’m manifesting being a legend while breathing.” And with every track, he’s proving that he’s well on his way.

SdotFrmDaBlock Talks “New Money,” Winning The Liq Podcast Open Mic, and His Journey in L.A.’s Music Scene

Emerging from the streets of Los Angeles, SdotFrmDaBlock is making waves with his authentic sound and relatable lyrics. Recently, he took home the win at The Liq Podcast Open Mic and dropped his latest single, “New Money.” In this exclusive interview, SdotFrmDaBlock opens up about his journey, influences, and what’s next for his career.

The Thrill of Winning The Liq Podcast Open Mic

For SdotFrmDaBlock, participating in The Liq Podcast Open Mic was about more than the competition. “Honestly, I was doing it for the fun of music. Rather I won or not, it was the enjoyment behind it,” he shares. The platform gave him a chance to connect with new audiences and grow as an artist.

The Story Behind “New Money”

SdotFrmDaBlock’s single “New Money” stands out as one of his most impactful tracks. “I picked ‘New Money’ as my song to platform because it's one of my most influential songs that I get feedback from performing,” he explains. The track explores how people’s perceptions shift when they see you gaining success. “The main message is how people reflect on your life differently once they see some motion.”

The creative process for “New Money” was all about crafting something universally relatable. “This song was more about something everybody can relate and dance to, which is money and how money can impact,” he says. With its upbeat vibe and thoughtful lyrics, the track is designed to resonate while keeping the energy high.

Shaped by Life and L.A.

Growing up in L.A. has had a profound impact on SdotFrmDaBlock’s artistry. “I would feel like life experiences shape most of my lyrics,” he shares. His style, which he describes as “Street Lyrical Common Sense,” reflects both his personal journey and the realities of his environment.

The influence of Nipsey Hussle has also left a lasting mark on his approach. “As far as the business aspect of music and building a platform, I looked up to people like Nipsey Hussle. His movement taught me to own myself and everything I do,” SdotFrmDaBlock explains.

Lessons from The Liq Podcast

SdotFrmDaBlock’s time on The Liq Podcast Open Mic taught him the value of networking. “From my experience, I’ve always been independent and never really cared to reach out to other artists or podcasts. Liq Podcast just made me a little more open to networking in ways I probably wouldn't normally,” he reflects.

What’s Next for SdotFrmDaBlock

Looking ahead, SdotFrmDaBlock remains committed to consistency. “I drop a single or two every month and try to drop my projects every six to seven months to stay consistent,” he says. His team is also working on an out-of-state tour to expand his reach and gain more experience.

In the next few years, SdotFrmDaBlock envisions himself as one of the biggest L.A. artists in the world. “My consistency and dedication to what I’m doing will get me there. The main impact I want to have is to show people it’s okay to be the underdog sometimes and to just keep going.”

Stay Connected

Fans can keep up with SdotFrmDaBlock on all platforms under SdotFrmDaBlock. “Even my social medias and business emails are all under the same name,” he adds, making it easy to follow his journey and support his music.
