In a recent candid interview, Chicago rapper Vonoff1700 opened up about the harsh realities of his city's ongoing violence and why he believes efforts to push peace are destined to fail. Despite having the largest platform among local artists, Vonoff dismisses calls for reconciliation, stating that deep-rooted pride and bloodshed make peace impossible. He explained that the "push peace" movement is often more about appearances than genuine change and that some parties will always block progress.
Vonoff also addressed controversies surrounding his music and videos, rejecting accusations that he exploits rumors or intentionally provokes conflict. Acknowledging that violence inevitably catches up with everyone involved, Vonoff remains unapologetic and uninterested in stepping away from the hard truths he raps about. His perspective sheds light on the complex, grim dynamics fueling Chicago's street culture and challenges optimistic narratives about curbing its violence anytime soon.
