Dexter Raymond Mills Jr., known professionally as Consequence, is an American rapper from New York City. He is best known for his collaborative work with A Tribe Called Quest and Kanye West.

Career

Consequence debuted in 1996, appearing several times on A Tribe Called Quest's fourth album Beats, Rhymes, and Life, as he is the cousin of member Q-Tip. In March 2007, he released his debut album Don't Quit Your Day Job!, under Columbia Records and Kanye West's GOOD Music. Consequence left GOOD Music in 2011, on bad terms, after being signed with the label since 2005. He and West later reconciled. Following his departure from GOOD Music, Consequence has since launched his own record label, Band Camp Records, now known as 192 Records.

Personal life

In 2020, Consequence came forth about his battle with lupus. Consequence and Love & Hip Hop: New York co-star and music blogger Jen The Pen are the parents of rapper Caiden The Crownholder (born August 17, 2011).
