Consequence
Album : Don’t Quit Your Day Job
Release Date : March 6, 2007
Label : G.O.O.D. Music

Don’t Quit Your Day Job will be the official debut from the former Tribe Called Quest member. It will be released under Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music imprint via Sony/Columbia. The majority of production will come from Kanye West. The first single will be "Callin’ Me" produced by Young Lord.

Review :
Following an autobiographical blueprint, “Da Job Song” candidly documents Consequence’s nine-to-five grind between deals, over producer Kool Aid’s lush conga drums and whistles. Con maintains his humility throughout—the introspective “Who Knew ?” featuring Tony Williams’ soothing vocals, finds him looking to put the past behind him (“I used to have to stay in this clubbed basement/Now I’m getting calls for product placement/They say that song ‘Spaceship’ gave my career a face-lift/Now I’m on the comeback trail to make a statement”).

Always a capable wordsmith, Mr. Cons-to-the-Quence succeeds with vivid tales, like his Harlem booty-huntin’ romp “Uptown” and the family-feudin’ “Uncle Rahiem.” His weakness lies in the recycled gems. The Kanye-produced “The Good, the Bad, the Ugly” first resonated on mixtapes nearly four years ago, and “Night Night” appeared on the soundtrack for EA Sports’ Fight Night Round 3. Even the lead single, “Grammy Family,” premiered earlier this year on DJ Khaled’s debut disc.

After a lifetime in the making, Don’t Quit Your Day Job ! should be a collection of fresh material that finally lets its orator get his solo shine. Instead, Cons offers up a stunted track listing, even taking a backseat to John Legend on the tender “Feel This Way,” which features more of the singer’s harmony and raps than the alleged headliner. That’s not to say that Consequence doesn’t make good music—he just didn’t craft enough great music.
