Cons speaks with MTV about his upcoming album, ConsTV which is set for a Summer release.
“This album — the first time ever you have a album executive-produced by Kanye West and Q-Tip, which essentially makes it, from a soundscape point of view, The Blueprint meets Midnight Marauders,” he said of West’s work on the Jay-Z classic and Tip’s work with A Tribe Called Quest. “It’s an incredible album.”
He also speaks on the reasoning behind releasing his Movies On Demand mixtape for free (text after the jump).
“It was incentive — the reason for putting out Movies on Demand was because I really had to drive home the point of what the album was gonna be and sonically what people had to look forward to,” Con explained. “Sometimes when you have such a gem … it catches late. You have to have creative and innovative ways to catch people’s interest. That’s why I gave the mixtape away for free — I don’t need your money, I need your ears. I’ll get the paper later. I’ll get the paper regardless. But when I have your ears and you’re hearing these lines and the authenticity to what hip-hop is — that’s priceless.
“That’s something I grew up on,” he added. “Hip-hop has always been something to come out of nowhere, that’s why I think with Movies on Demand, it executes all the fundamentals that hip-hop brings to the table from the grassroots level to its highest peak.”

That Movies On Demand tape flew way under a lot of people’s radar. Solid from top to bottom. The album is going to be ridiculous. Does it have a release date yet?
can’t wait for this!!
da cat is straight gay, yo!
cons has been underrated 4 way to long
he might get his shine
Just the fact that there are this few comments shows how underrated Cons is. He was almost in Tribe for goodness sake. And an album executive produced by Kanye and Q-Tip????
Movies on Demand was dope and I’ll bet the album will be even better
quence is real dope with the rhymes. very underrated but i think this album can change things especially with it being executive produced by two of the dopest emcee producers ever. scratch that two of the dopest all around in hip hop ever
consequence got the dracula look goin. i like it.
