Amerie, the melodic songbird, returns to the music landscape, adding flair to the newest single “Blood Stain 2” by New York’s own, Consequence. In an era where song duration is often sacrificed for streaming efficiency, this track stands out by delivering a concise yet powerful punch.
“Blood Stain 2” is a product of Consequence’s dedication to his craft, even during a period of relative silence. Yet, the Queens, New York artist has dispelled any doubt about his talents with this latest release.
“It’s been a while since we had a dope rhyme to step to from Queens, New York repper Consequence. Yet, he’s changed that with this new single ‘Blood Stain 2,’ featuring songstress Amerie. Don’t get it twisted though, he’s been putting out music, it’s just that we haven’t had a proper release from him like this that takes us back to his Kanye days of flowing. Speaking of Ye, he’s the super producer of the boom-bap track that has Cons speaking on overcoming several battles.”
Amerie’s vocals provide the perfect balance to the hip-hop beat, her voice a refreshing contrast to Consequence’s gritty rap verses. However, the absence of a full verse from the R&B diva leaves fans eager for more. Perhaps a “Blood Stain 3” might appease this craving?
The music video, bathed in a reddish sepia tone, offers a nostalgic vibe that intertwines seamlessly with the storyline and live performance scenes. It’s as if the viewer is transported back in time, immersing themselves in the artists’ musical journey.
This single is just a taste of what’s to come. Consequence’s upcoming album, “Nice Doing Business With You,” is slated for a September release and promises an array of exciting features.
