Consequence & Kid Cudi
Dexter Raymond Mills, Jr. (born June 14, 1977 in Queens, New York), better known by his stage name Consequence, is an American hip hop artist signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music label. In 2007 he released his debut album Don’t Quit Your Day Job!, and his second release You Win Some, You Lose Some is set to be released in 2009. He made his first appearance as a rapper on A Tribe Called Quest’s Midnight Marauders, and would go on to make numerous appearances on their future albums as his cousin, Q-Tip, was a member of the group. After the group disbanded in 1998, Consequence was forced to search for a label on his own when his mixtape Take ‘Em To The Cleaners founds its way into the hands of Kanye West, who offered him a guest spot on his debut album The College Dropout on the track Spaceship. He then featured on the song “Gone” off West’s second album Late Registration, as well as songs from Common, Beyonce and label mates Really Doe and GLC.
