Consequence, Rick Ross, Ghostface Killah, Jim Jones And 38 Spesh Drop “Blood Stain III”

December 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Consequence has quietly been dropping great songs all year. “No Consequences” was a great collab with Kanye West, and “What Has America Done” saw the G.O.O.D. Music alum team up with Chuck D. “Blood Stain III” keeps his winning streak going. The difference here, though, is that Consequence is pulling out all the stops. He didn’t call upon one hip hop legend, but a whole roster of them to drop by and deliver stellar verses. Plus, one of the most infectious Kanye West beats in a minute.

Consequence handles the hook on “Blood Stain III,” but he relinquishes ground to his guests. Ghostface Killah kicks things off with an aggressive, punchline driven verse. He hasn’t lost a step, and Kanye even throws in a few RZA-esque punching effects to sell the Wu-Tang of it all. Rick Ross is the next rapper up, and he skates with a verse that’s slicker and more braggadocios than Ghost’s. Jim Jones is not a name you might have expected to see on a 2024 posse cut, but he acclimates well. He doesn’t rap so much as he talks ish over the beat, but it still sounds good. 38 Spesh closes out the guest verses, and he does his usual thing on the back end. Consequence wraps the song up himself, and delivers arguably the second best verse. Check this one out ASAP.

Consequence Holds His Against Hip Hop Icons

Quotable Lyrics:

Been a hitta n**ga, you can be next
D*ck riding in the Hamptons, where ya keys at?
Lil’ soldier, game over, this a reset
If you never lost, n**ga, bet your catalogs

After its premiere on Hot 97, Consequence has liberated his new single “Blood Stain III,” which is now available. “Blood Stain III” features the crazy lineup of Ghostface Killah, Rick Ross, Jim Jones & 38 Spesh— and is produced by Ye.

“Blood Stain III” arrives after the release of “What Has America Done,” and its accompanying video which was premiered by TMZ, as Consequence and Chuck D gave a state of the union address on the heels of the Presidential election.

“Blood Stain III” is the third and final installment in what has developed into a series for my Ye-produced single. Quite frankly, I blame Jadakiss for all this” Consequence laughs. Once he told me “Blood Stain,” hottest track of the year, you know what it is, by far,” I decided we needed to run it out even further. With Ghost, Ross, Jim and Spesh, we really took it back to some authentic rap sh*t. The Deluxe version of Nice Doing Business With You will ensure I finish out 2024 strong as possible.”

Nice Doing Business With You features appearances from Cons frequent collaborator Kanye West (who guests on “No Apologies,” and produces “Bloodstain”), Chris Rock, YNW Melly, Tony Williams and Con’s son Caiden The Crownholder. Consequence also produced the bulk of Nice Doing Business With You.

The deluxe edition of Nice Doing Business With You will be released on 12.13.24 and will include seven new tracks; including “Blood Stain III.”

“Blood Stain III” is now available at all DSP’s.

Consequence & Chuck D Drop Off Thought-Provoking “What Has America Done”

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Consequence and Chuck D are speaking out following the reelection of President Donald Trump with a conscious single, “What Has America Done.” According to The Source, both hip-hop greats gave a State of the Union address not too long ago, so they are making sure they are making their voices heard. The Queens native spoke about how the Black community needs to stick together and level up as much as possible. While instilling inspiration, he also kept it real that could lead to issues with one another. “The results of the 2024 Presidential Election are a reflection of who and where we are as a nation. Like it or not, especially if you’re African American, we must continue to pursue our equalities and make sure we do everything in our power to level the playing field as best we can. In doing so, we can forget where we’ve been and what it took to get where we are.”

Public Enemy’s Chuck D didn’t mince words either, adding, “Avatars like they’re the new Klan hoodies. The more things change, the more they stay the same!” “What Has America Done” isn’t an easy listen by any means. However, it sure sounds beautiful with its dramatic and thematic piano-led instrumental. Consequence dominates the verses, talking about how Black people constantly get the short end of the stick while other groups truly get to live the American dream. This single will land on Consequence’s deluxe of his most recent LP Nice Doing Business With You, which is out on November 22.

“What Has America Done” – Consequence, Chuck D, & Tony Williams

Quotable Lyrics:

My country, tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty
Same land where they lynchin’ me, for over more then four centuries
The plantations wherе they sent for me, plan for mе was penitentiaries
Psychological injuries, but still we rise to be kings and queens
But what has America done for me, besides take the swag and the sauce?
What has America done for me, besides make me kiss the a** of my boss?

Consequence Returns After 13 Years With “Nice Doing Business With You”

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Consequence was hyping up Nice Doing Business With You in April of 2022, labeling it as essentially a perfect summer album. “I’m looking forward to people being able to ride out for the spring and the summer”, he told AllHipHop. Not too long after that, the New York veteran would go on to release its stacked lead single “Blood Stain”. Featuring production from Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Ojivolta, and 88 Keys, it was (and still is) a tremendous track and one that embodies Consequence’s trademark jazzy/soulful style.

However, despite a few loose singles, it seemed like Nice Doing Business With You was going to be shelved. But hope was restored in the summer of this year with another Ye collab, “No Apologies”, and “Overdose” with YNW Melly. The latter might seem unlikely, however, according to Hot 97, this cut was also in the works for a while. Consequence says it went something like, “He literally was just like, ‘Yo, I got you OG yeah,’ wrote the s***. He just was on some, ‘Yo, yeah I got you, Unc,’ type s***. So, he ain’t do nothing but respect me…Then literally the next week I think is when that s*** started cooking with the case… So I think this might be the last feature he did”. Overall, we are just happy to have ‘Quence back and we are even more ecstatic that the quality is high even with a 13-year gap in between albums.

Consequence Claims Kanye West And Kendrick Lamar Have An Unreleased Collab Album

September 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Consequence has been part of Kanye West’s inner-circle since day one. He appeared on Ye’s first two albums, and has penned verses for the rapper into the present. If anybody has insight into how Ye goes about recording, it would be him. Consequence talked about Ye’s relationship with Kendrick Lamar in a recent interview with Bootleg Kev. During said interview, the rapper claimed that Ye and Lamar have an album’s worth of material sitting on the shelf.

Consequence told the podcaster that Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar are sitting on an estimated 40 songs together. Some of which are allegedly produced by Madlib. The reason they have yet to see the light of day? Consequence believes its simply a matter of setting aside the time to structure an album. “I just think it just needed to be structured,” he asserted. The rapper claimed to have heard every song that was recorded, though, and he was impressed. “It was there, it’s there, it’s crazy,” he noted. “It’s there.”

Consequence Claims To Have Heard 40 Songs

Consequence’s discussion of a Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar joint album is more of a confirmation than a revelation. It’s exciting to know that songs between the two legends exist, but Ye actually spilled the beans on his Lamar collabs back in 2016. The “Carnival” rapper tweeted that he’d been in the studio with Compton’s finest and Young Thug during the making of The Life of Pablo. “Me and Kendrick got 40 songs and me and Young Thug got 40 songs,” he wrote. “40/40 club!!!” Kendrick Lamar and Thugger did appear on The Life of Pablo, lending credibility to Ye’s claim.

The only official collaboration between Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar to date came out of these 2016 sessions. “No More Parties In L.A.” was a head-spinning lyrical showcase for both rappers. It also had an exceptional Madlib beat, which lines up with what Consequence said about the producer’s involvement. Ye seems to be in an increasingly healthier headspace as of late. Here’s hoping he decides to let some of these K. Dot collabs out of the vault.

Consequence And Kanye West Confront Their Critics On “No Apologies” Single

July 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Consequence and Kanye West go back two decades. The former was on West’s first two albums, and West executive produced his debut, Don’t Quit Your Day Job. Their chemistry on record is undeniable, which is what makes “No Apologies” such a pleasant surprise. Consequence and Kanye West link back up for their first song in over a decade and a half. The quality was not guaranteed, given the scattered nature of recent Kanye albums, but Consequence manages to rein him in with soulful production and a nostalgic mood.

It’s worth noting that Kanye West doesn’t really rap on “No Apologies.” While the title sounds like a personal mantra for the GOOD Music founder, the song is actually an instance of him staying out of the spotlight. West speaks during the intro, and harmonizes with Consequence during the chorus, but that’s it. Consequence, meanwhile, delivers a pair of tight verses. There’s a wistful element to Consequence’s bars, especially when he recalls his life as a child, that perfectly fits the beat. “So Busy Bee was the man in the place to be. Or when Jordan hit the draft after ’83,” he raps. “Yeah, at one point I should’ve been on Slam Magazine. ‘Cause I slammed every model you saw in the magazine.” It’s smooth, well-executed hip-hop. Consequence and West keep their winning streak intact.

Consequence Proves That He’s Still Got It On “No Apologies”

Quotable Lyrics:

I come from the black medallions, no gold
Still put the blacks to count, we’re going gold
That many sold, you must’ve sold your soul
No, I just broke the mold, but never broke thе codes

Kanye West’s “All Mine” Reference Track Revealed By Consequence

June 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Reference tracks in hip-hop are a commonality. However, it feels like over the last few months, they have been running rampant. That especially been the case with Drake, not only throughout his career, but as of recently as well. The ghostwriting accusations picked up steam once again during his mostly one-sided affair with Kendrick Lamar. Additionally, because it felt like The Boy could not find a W anywhere, it seemed that the leaked ideas were popping up by the second for him. This time though, Kanye West is the artist for discussion, as a reference track for “All Mine” has just been revealed.

The rapper who appears to have assisted Ye for one of his biggest hits as of late is Consequence. A close collaborator and die-hard supporter, the Queens, New York native gave fans some context across his social media platforms. In the 45-second clip, Consequence shares vocals he recorded over the “All Mine” instrumental and it shows how Kanye threw in the hilarious Stormy Daniels line. The veteran MC did present a slightly different flow than his counterpart, but you can definitely see the similarities.

Consequence Reveals How Kanye Referenced Him For “All Mine”

Consequence was one of many to receive writing credits on “All Mine”, including Pardison Fontaine, Jeremih, Ty Dolla $ign, 070 Shake, CyHi, to name a few. He made sure to give himself props in the post, saying, “All Mine now has surpassed 500 Million Streams on @spotify… HIT MY LINE IF YOU NEED A SAMPLE ”. In addition to that plug, Consequence also announced a new collaboration coming with Kanye called “No Apologies”, which will drop on June 21. One can assume this is a song to make the cut for his relentlessly pushed back album, Nice Doing Business With You.

What are your thoughts on Consequence revealing the reference track for Kanye West’s “All Mine”? Is this the best song off of ye, why or why not? Is this verse better than Ye’s? Are you excited for them to drop their new song on June 21, as well as the upcoming album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Consequence and Kanye West. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
