Consequence and his 13-year-old son, Caiden The Crownholder, are real legacy vibes. The father-son duo caught up with AllHipHop and brought charisma and generational energy. Caiden, who recently went viral with more than five million views on his On The Radar freestyle, is emerging as a force in his own right.
Meanwhile, Consequence is set to release a new single produced by longtime collaborator Kanye West. The two spoke candidly with AllHipHop about the state of Hip-Hop, creating music in the TikTok era, their upcoming projects and more. Cons admitted that his son tends to raid the closet, but he had his own as well.
AllHipHop (Chuck Creekmur): AllHipHop is in the building once again with Consequence and Caiden the Crownholder. You still holding that crown?
Caiden: No doubt. Absolutely.
AllHipHop: Since the last time we talked, you had one of the Top 10 Most Viral On the Radar freestyles on TikTok.
Caiden The Crownholder: Yeah, it’s at 5.4 million now.
AllHipHop: That’s what’s up! Hey, man, I gotta ask you this, how does it feel to have a dad that loves you so openly and publicly? It’s documented.
Caiden: It’s the greatest feeling in the world.
AllHipHop: That’s what’s up. And, Cons, your son is so talented. You gotta be proud.
Consequence: Absolutely. This has been the happiest Father’s Day I’ve had. His album is done. We outside this summer.
AllHipHop: When y’all pulling up to the studio for a full interview?
Consequence: July.
AllHipHop: Bet. We’re locked in. Let’s talk music. Caiden, you’re in the game now and it’s a tough space. How are you feeling about the landscape?
Caiden: I feel pretty good. New things are coming to me. I’m rocking with it. It’s been good lately.
AllHipHop: Cons, what about you?
Consequence: You know me. It’s wash, rinse, repeat. These days it’s about being a content creator. TikTok, Instagram—you gotta adjust. Back in the day, you had to learn how to scratch, how to use MySpace. It’s always evolving.
AllHipHop: So what’s changed?
Consequence: It’s just a new format, but Hip-Hop’s always been about pushing forward. From “Callin’ Me” to newer music, we’ve taken this thing further than we ever imagined. Like a wise man once said: “We never thought we’d take it this far.” So we have to keep going. The road may get rocky, but we know the texture, the sound, the feel. It’s our responsibility to pass that knowledge on to the next generation, like this guy right here. That’s how the tradition stays alive.
AllHipHop: Respect. It doesn’t always feel like it’s ours anymore.
Consequence: Nah, I’m not having that. Never have. I’ve never been the type to kick my feet up. It’s boots to the ground with me, always.
AllHipHop: Let’s talk about the music y’all are creating. What should we expect from the project? Any features?
Consequence: Absolutely. We’ll be dropping the tracklist soon. He’s 13 and already has incredible records. The charisma, the MCing, the versatility—it’s all there. And yes, we kept some traditional vibes too. I’ll say this—we have a record with me, Caiden, Cory Gunz and Peter Gunz.
AllHipHop: That’s a classic lineup.
Consequence: You already know. Cory Gunz can spit. I’m a rapper’s rapper—but also a songwriter, and I’m always about that check. That’s well documented. But the bars? They’re still there. Just wait until you hear it.
AllHipHop: I’m familiar. I’m looking forward to that one.
Consequence: Let’s go!
AllHipHop: OK, switching gears—I hate to do this, but I gotta ask: What’s up with your boy?
Consequence: Which one?
AllHipHop: Let’s start with Kanye. What’s the word?
Consequence: Let’s save that for the longer sit-down. But when my new single drops—and yes, Ye produced it—we’ll talk. I’ve got the beat of the summer again. I wasn’t lying last time, and I’m not lying now. This joint is incredible.
AllHipHop: Say less. Looking forward to it. On the fashion tip, though—you see the drip, the kicks. You stay fresh.
Consequence: You know how I do.
AllHipHop: Caiden, what’s your favorite fashion item right now?
Caiden: Probably my Hublot watch—and of course, the chain.
AllHipHop: Hublot! Excuse me, young king! Cons, I see the family doing well!
Consequence: We’re in a great space. Since the last time you saw him, he’s grown up. Now we’re at a point where we wear the same sneakers. I’ve been looking forward to that. It’s a whole new vibe now—double the flavor.
AllHipHop: Y’all wearing the same size?
Consequence: Same sneakers, not the clothes yet. But we getting there.
AllHipHop: That reminds me of my pops. You’ve created something special.
Consequence: Appreciate that. This is a special moment in time for us. And I can’t wait for people to hear his new album.
AllHipHop: Spicy?
Consequence: Spicy. And he’s talking hot on there, too.
