Don't Quit Your Day Job! is the debut studio album by American rapper Consequence. It was released on GOOD Music and Columbia Records on March 6, 2007. The album features the song "Grammy Family", a song with DJ Khaled featuring Kanye West and John Legend, which also appeared on DJ Khaled's debut album "Listennn... the Album" and was released as a single in 2006. Guest appearances on the album include Kanye West, John Legend, Really Doe and GLC.
In the album's first week, it sold 7,490 units, while also debuting at #1 on the "Billboard" New Artist chart.[1] After criticism of the album, Consequence offered a refund deal on his MySpace page, claiming that anyone who purchased the album and didn’t like any of the songs could contact him and get their money back.[1]
William Ketchum of HipHopDX gave the album three stars out of five, saying: "Despite its drawbacks, Don't Quit Your Day Job! is still a solid debut from Consequence and another winner in the GOOD Music catalog."
