Recovery is the second studio album by American rapper Quando Rondo. It was released on March 24, 2023, through Atlantic Records, Never Broke Again, and Quando Rondo LLC. It features production from Quando's go-to producer CxbGoCrazy, alongside Bankroll Got It, Geo Vocals, Synco, Ehll Evans, lvl35dav, and SephGotTheWaves. It features a single guest appearance from YoungBoy Never Broke Again.[1]
The album is dedicated to Lul Pab, one of Quando's closest friends who was shot and killed in August 2022. Upon the release of the album, Quando appeared in an interview with XXL in which he revealed the meaning behind the album's title, stating that it's titled Recovery because "that's something that everybody in this universe on planet Earth are going to have to face, a recovery from something. It don't matter what it is, how big or small. And I know that's something a lot of people can adapt to". Quando elaborated on the album later in the interview:[2]
"Give Me a Sign" with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, the album's lead single dedicated to the death of Quando's close friend Lul Pab was released on August 30, 2022.[3] The album's second single, "Speeding", was released on January 22, 2023.[4] "Long Live Pabb", the album's third single dedicated to the death of Lul Pab was released just a day later on January 23, 2023.[5] Quando Rondo first teased the album in an Instagram post on February 8, 2023, in which he also announced an accompanying documentary.[6] "Me First", the album's fourth single was released on February 15, 2023.[7] The album's final single, "Tear It Down", was released on March 9, 2023, prior to the album's official announcement.[1] He officially announced the album, along with its cover art and track listing, on March 10, 2023.[1] The album's lyrical content differs from his typical gang- and street-related themes; on the album, he raps about the pain he has endured from seeing his friends die and the process of his mental recovery, which inspired the album's title. A day prior to the release of the album, on March 23, 2023, the official music video for "Where Would I Be" was exclusively released on YouTube.
