South Central LA native Rolondo Rich, also known as Spoety Fontana, is wasting no time in making 2025 his year. Hot off the momentum of his critically acclaimed album Rich Dreams, Rolondo has returned with an even stronger statement—his brand-new 7-track EP titled The Rich Tape. Packed with high-energy tracks, poignant storytelling, and a visual rollout that rivals mainstream projects, The Rich Tape is already making noise across platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube/VEVO.
But he didn’t stop there. Rolondo also dropped two new singles, “Deep Pockets” and “Things of the Past”, and two brand-new music videos—“All Niter (24/7)” and the fast-rising “Running Up Levels”. These releases mark a continuation of Rolondo’s all-gas-no-brakes approach to elevating independent hip-hop from South Central to global stages.
“They not like us,” Rolondo states. “We Compton and South Central babies getting it out the mud gracefully.”
The Rich Tape: A Sonic Testimony of Growth and Grind
Rolondo’s The Rich Tape isn’t just an EP—it’s a musical checkpoint that captures the essence of his journey. From the pulsing intro to the emotionally layered outro, each of the seven tracks reflects a different aspect of Rolondo’s evolution as an artist and man. The standout single “Running Up Levels” is an anthem of ambition—its confident bars and infectious beat serving as the perfect soundtrack for anyone leveling up in silence.

The two new singles—“Deep Pockets” and “Things of the Past”—add even more dimension to Rolondo’s catalog. The former flexes lyrical confidence and financial glow-up, while the latter dives into reflections on past trials and personal growth. Both tracks uphold the rich storytelling and street wisdom fans have come to expect from the rising star.
Visuals with a Vision
Rolondo’s commitment to visual storytelling continues to set him apart. His newly released videos “All Niter (24/7)” and “Running Up Levels” are not just visual accompaniments—they’re short films that expand the meaning and mood of the songs.
These videos follow his earlier dual cinematic drops:
- “Break Bread”: A raw depiction of loyalty and struggle in South Central.
- “All Around the World”: A juxtaposition of hometown pride and global ambition.
And of course, we can’t forget the visual power move he made in 2024—dropping six music videos at once before the release of Rich Dreams, a move that declared him not just as a rapper, but a creative visionary.
From Rich Dreams to Reality
Rolondo Rich first grabbed attention with his full-length album Rich Dreams, a gritty-yet-aspirational journey through his life and neighborhood. Songs like “Break Bread”, “All Around the World”, and “WE ON” introduced him as a fresh voice in hip-hop—someone who doesn’t just rap, but documents the reality of South Central Los Angeles.
“Rich Dreams isn’t just about chasing wealth—it’s about pursuing your passion, embracing your journey, and staying true to who you are.”
Critics praised Rich Dreams for its emotional depth and bold storytelling. It wasn’t just an album—it was a manifesto for hustlers, dreamers, and survivors.

Ima Send Me Ahh: The Summer Anthem That Still Hits
Among Rolondo’s most talked-about records is “Ima Send Me Ahh”, a gritty, club-ready anthem produced by Xv3 that has carved its place as a strip club and street favorite. The track’s pulsating bass, confident delivery, and unapologetic energy showcase another side of Rolondo’s versatility—his ability to make turn-up music without losing authenticity.
Staying Sucka-Free: A Businessman with Bars
While many artists chase clout, Rolondo stays laser-focused on his independent grind. As the founder of SupaStar Entertainment, he’s building his own empire from the ground up—one release, one video, one story at a time. His strategy is rooted in patience, precision, and purpose, allowing him to grow a fanbase that connects with his vision on a deep level.
From branding to business, Rolondo is as much a mogul in the making as he is an artist. And it’s this mindset that keeps him ahead of the game while staying grounded in his roots.
What’s Next?
With 2025 in full motion, Rolondo Rich shows no signs of slowing. More visuals, singles, and possibly another full project are on the horizon. Whether it’s through emotionally charged tracks or late-night anthems, Rolondo is committed to bringing real stories to the forefront of hip-hop.
