Consequence released his new single today (June 10th), entitled “Blood Stain”. The track is produced by Kanye West, to high praise from his long-time G.O.O.D. Music collaborator.
Consequence announced the drop of “Blood Stain” on Wednesday, flaunting the new single as the “beat of the year”.
The track is reminiscent of vintage Ye, with an accelerated soul sample, steady hi-hats, and a stuttering bass. Consequence delivers with his vocals as well, rapping bars like, “It’s two sides to every claim or a story / For every Megan, there’s a Lane for a Tory.”
“Blood Stain” is the lead single for Consequence’s new album, Nice Doing Business With You. The track was planned to release on May 20, but Consequence postponed the release after a nasty bout with COVID-19.
Unfortunately, due to a recent bout with Covid-19
I had to delay the release of “Blood Stain”
For 4 nights
My lungs were on Fire and I couldn’t sleep.
Thankfully, the worst of it is behind me so I will be rescheduling the release date shortly.
This is by no means the first time the G.O.O.D. Music artists have produced music together. Kanye features Consequence on albums from College Dropout to Donda, with the Queens rapper most recently taking a co-writer credit on “Hurricane”. The Donda track earned Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 64th Grammy Awards, beating out songs like “Pride is the Devil” and “Industry Baby”. On the other hand, Consequence’s 2007 album, Don’t Quit Your Day Job, featured a number of beats from the Chicago rap icon.
Consequence has recently made headlines for his apology to Drake. He took Kanye’s side in the pair’s infamous beef, dissing the Canadian rapper on his September 2021 single, “Party Time”. He issued an apology to Drake via Instagram, captioned, “Petty energy ain’t it for 2022… Pardon me for whatever was said about you or your loved ones. Keep doing you, bro”. Kanye and Drake seem to have also come to peace, leading fans to believe this controversy is a thing of the past.
