Consequence - Down This Road
Artist: Consequence
Featuring: Maino
Producer: Lee Bannon
Album: Movies on Demand Mixtape
Label: Band Camp Records
Having already declared his disdain for Childish Games, Consequence, the G.O.O.D. Music representative and “dude who kind of looks like Kanye from certain angles,” is now ready to hit the pavement on his new cut, the hypnotically entertaining Down This Road. Produced by Lee Bannon, who once again proves he knows how to let a beat breathe in all the right places, Down This Road is the story of a rapper who knows only too well the struggle to carve your own path in the rap game: “The road less traveled when you’re down to journey, results in black eyes like you’re down with Fergie.” And completing the track’s Bronx to Queens expressway is the always heavy caliber Maino, who drops another grit-filled guest verse. Personally, I feel like the hook could use some work, but it’s a mixtape joint, so complaining feels overly critical. Speaking of which, if you’re down with Down This Road be sure to cop Con’s Movies on Demand mixtape, dropping March 15, which is itself just a warm up to his Cons TV album, dropping…um…soonish.

To be honest, "Down This Road" is a "Middle of the Road" track. But, as Nathan eluded to in the write-up, its a mixtape cut and not an album inclusion or a single selection. Not sure why but I was just not feeling the production or the Maino guest verse. Cons is consistent, but we knew that...

G.O.O.D. music in the building but cons doesn't rep extremely hard. I was doubting the Maino verse but it was tolerable. I kept waiting for a john legend hook to save the day

Love Cons. But Maino hurts the track because he can't keep up with Cons. Strange collaboration.

Take Maino off this track and you have yourself a banger track, theres no need for him to be on this.

Have to disagree with Z, I really liked the production on this one. It doesn't do too much, but that's a good thing. And Cons definitely delivered again.
For me it's less than Maino's verse was bad, and more that it doesn't fit here at all. I feel like he's just spitting a verse he had written before he ever heard this beat - he waits until the very last line to even touch on the theme.

It's an ok song. Like you guys said its just a mixtape. To be honest i expected more from mixtapes ever since drake came out with so far gone.

While there is nothing wrong with it, there is nothing memorable about it either. A pretty good mixtape track.

I really enjoyed "Childish Games". I had never heard of Consequence up until then if this is below average for him then I'm definately writing a self-note to download his album.

In comparison to his Asher Roth collab this is weak; Maino is far from a good look on most of his tracks

This track doesn’t see Con at his best, I think Maino’s verse was tighter than either of Consequences.
