Having spent the majority of the early part of his career behind the control board and not the mic, Kid Ink crafting his production skills working with multi-platinum artists like Sean “Diddy” Combs and Sean Kingston as well Yung Berg and Nipsey Hussle. Production came natural for Kid Ink, "I started making the beats because I already had several artists trying the rap thing out, so I thought I would be more useful supplying the production." But sitting behind the board was not enough for Kid Ink. Just a few short years ago, Kid Ink picked up the mic and a new contender in the Hip-Hop game was born.
Honing his skills as a songwriter creating hooks for his beats, Kid Ink stepped up his lyrical repertoire with full length and completed songs.
2010 was a breakout year in the young rapper’s career. Teaming up with world-renowned DJ ill Will and DJ Rockstar’s newly formed Tha Alumni Music Group; Kid Ink became more focused in his grind and began working on the underground hit, Crash Landing Mixtape. His hard work paid off and the music industry began to take notice. Within 10 days of its release, Crash Landing garnered critical acclaim, a position at the top of Datpiff.com’s ‘Top Mixtapes of the Week’ section and amassed an astonishing 50 thousand downloads.
After Crash Landings’ debut, national and international request to perform rolled in. Kid Ink has toured the states with stops in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Denver, Kansas City and Buffalo; and internationally in Toronto, Canada, Zurich, Switzerland, Melbourne, Australia and Krasnador, Russia.
Solidifying himself as a real MC, Kid Ink garnered career-defining features from Hip-Hop and R&B stars including Young Money's Gudda Gudda, Roscoe Dash, Sterling Simms, Bei Maejor, Meek Mill and many more. Kid Ink’s uncompromising work ethic would not allow him to rest on his more than impressive laurels; there needed to be a ‘visual’ movement to showcase his innovative style and unique persona.
Lensed by Director Alex Nazari, Kid Ink released an astounding 8 cutting-edge music videos in 2010 alone. Tearing the Net to shreds, to date his now 26 released videos have garnered a very impressive 50 plus million views.
2011 continued to be phenomenal for the young MC. Having released his (free to the public) sophomore album Daydreamer on June 21st via the internet, the lyrical juggernaut accumulated over 150 thousand downloads in its first week. Fans went ballistic over the album that featured all original production from the likes of The Runners, Lex Luger, Jahlil Beats, Cardiak & Tha Bizness as well as major features from the Cory Gunz, Meek Mill, Ray J, Sean Kingston, Dorrough, Bei Maejor and more.
Bucking the norm of waiting for a major label deal to kick off his career, the rapper has taken his fate in to his own hands and crafted an internet campaign that rivals many of the acts resting high on the Billboard charts. With videos under his belt including Internet sensations “Lowkey Poppin,” “Please” and “Cali Dreamin,’” Kid Ink is definitely rockin’ to his own beat.
Kid Ink continued his 2011 tear by releasing “Wheels Up,” yet another all original Mixtape on October 10th to an overwhelming response. Once again outdoing the numbers his previous project accumulated. Following the release of “Wheels Up,” Ink has been on a mini “Wheels Up” tour including stops in the Bay Area, Denmark, New York, Boston, Toronto, Denver & Chicago to name a few, performing to packed crowds of 600-2,000.
Ink started 2012 red hot as the first single “Time Of Your Life” off his debut album “Up & Away” was picked up in early January by radio & the first week this song was released on iTunes it sold a staggering 20k copies. “Time Of Your Life” peaked at #32 on the Rythmic Radio Charts with 750+ spins a week and has reached an audience of over 100 million selling 160k + singles Independently. In addition, the official video for “Time Of Your Life” has reached over 12 million views on Youtube and was added to regular rotation on MTV Jams and MTV2. Following the success of “Time Of Your Life” and the follow up single “Drippin,” Ink launched his Indie album “Up & Away” in June to commercial success with 20k albums sold the 1st week in the US reaching top 20 on Billboard charts (All Albums) and #2 that week in Hip-Hop/Rap. Immediately following the success of “Up & Away” Ink toured the US, selling out shows throughout the Country including 6 Summer Jam concerts, followed by a headlining “Up & Away” UK Tour that included 25 shows in 35 days – selling out 18 of the shows. “Up & Away” has sold well over 50k albums to date (US) & over 70k worldwide.
After the immediate sales success of “Up & Away,” Ink found himself in a bidding war with all the major labels. Ink decided to cap off his career defining 2012 with another Mixtape in November of 2012 titled “Rocketshipshawty” which has done well over 600k downloads online, followed by 6 videos off the project. Starting off the New Year in 2012 Ink decided to sign a major label deal with RCA Records. On January 3rd, 2013 Ink announced his signing and launched his debut Major Label single “Bad Ass” feat MMG heavyweights Wale & Meek Mill.
His Internet game is just as tight as his rap game. His website, www.kidinkmusic.com gets between 90,000 and 150,000 hits a month, his Facebook page has over a 500,000 Likes, his Twitter game is continually growing with 300k plus Followers, Instagram over 260k follows and via HotNewHipHop.com Kid Ink has a staggering 13 million + digital downloads.

360 (what), 360 (what), 360 (what)
See the room spinning around
360 (what), 360 (what), 360 (what)
Watch the money fall down
360 (what), 360 (what), 360 (what)
Baby turn that ass around
360 (what), 360 (what), 360 (what), 360
I know you see it go around
Money full circle, blinded full circles
Smoking on that color purple
On the beat I go silly, real ugly mafucka
Bitches loving on my rapper but she know I ain't a sucker
360, look might break your neck
Everybody double take now I'm late on set
Got a pocket full of green, faces like Gumbee
Bought to take another round call it 720
Headed to the club goin' close in an hour
One on one on, East bound and down Kenny Powers
I just took off face look sour
I can here 'em screaming my name like Alvin
I'm just sitting back reclin like Calvin
High you can see it in my eyes like Simon
Going way past 60, girl I think you just missed me
I tell em

One to fuck me good, one to suck me good

Only thing I wish, I wish a mafucker would

Oh you ain't understandin', nigger I am makin' good

Popcorn looking like a box of rice crispy
If I don't make the record shit the feds gonna get me
Cause I am gonna keep shining on these haters til they hit me

Line by Line Meaning
I tell em
Addressing the listener
360 (what), 360 (what), 360 (what)
Repeating '360' multiple times
See the room spinning around
Feeling dizzy or intoxicated
Watch the money fall down
Earning a lot of money with ease
Baby turn that ass around
Asking someone to move provocatively
I know you see it go around
Money flowing in and out of your life
Money full circle, blinded full circles
Money coming and going; being reckless with money
Smoking on that color purple
Smoking a specific strain of marijuana
On the beat I go silly, real ugly mafucka
Rapping heavily; ugly rap style
Bitches loving on my rapper but she know I ain't a sucker
Getting attention from women but not being taken advantage of
360, look might break your neck
Moving quickly in a circle could cause injury
Everybody double take now I'm late on set
Being behind schedule and catching people off guard
Got a pocket full of green, faces like Gumbee
Having a lot of cash; people looking surprised
Bought to take another round call it 720
Referencing a trick in skateboarding which would be impressive if pulled off correctly
Headed to the club goin' close in an hour
Going to a club that closes soon
One on one on, East bound and down Kenny Powers
Referencing a TV show; Kenny Powers is a character who is good at baseball
I just took off face look sour
Leaving a situation abruptly; unhappy appearance
I can here 'em screaming my name like Alvin
Hearing people cheer for him like a chipmunk character
I'm just sitting back reclin like Calvin
Relaxing like a comic strip character
High you can see it in my eyes like Simon
Having an altered state of mind due to drugs
Going way past 60, girl I think you just missed me
Moving quickly; avoiding something or someone
Yo I say what goes around comes around, 360
Karma comes back around in a full circle
When it comes to bad bitches I keep three with me
Keeping multiple women who are good looking
One to fuck me good, one to suck me good
Having different sexual partners with different specialties
One to ride hard hold the work tuck it good
Having someone help transport illegal substances
Only thing I wish, I wish a mafucker would
Refusing to let anyone cross him
I'm living life and get money like I fucking should
Enjoying life; making a lot of money
I'm on another level, that make you understood
Being highly successful
Oh you ain't understandin', nigger I am makin' good
Being highly successful
360, we make them 360
Doing things to earn lots of money and attention
Popcorn looking like a box of rice crispy
Beautiful women are watching him like a delicious snack
If I don't make the record shit the feds gonna get me
The government is threatening to come after him if he is unsuccessful
Cause I am gonna keep shining on these haters til they hit me
Continuing to be successful even in the face of adversity
100 thousand dollars cash, $20 bills bitch, I be on that real shit
Having a lot of money and being true to himself
Trying to chase a mill shit
Attempting to earn a million dollars
Just came back from Hollywood and Ill Will, the Will Smith
Traveling between different locations and making connections
Right back to the hood with my goons tryna kill shit
Returning to his roots with his friends who are dangerous
I said bitch I'm the bomb, everything hunneds
Considering himself highly desirable and successful
Bout to take another round call it 9-hunned
Referencing a trick in basketball; being impressive
Call me when you sittin' home alone like Mc Culkin
Asking someone to call him later
Bout to leave the club but I don't know where the fuck the sun is
Staying out late without paying attention to the time
See me speeding through the city like we racing in a summit
Driving around quickly
I ball might cross so I hot step dunk it
Referencing a trick in basketball; being highly skilled
360, leave the hole open in a fast break
Moving quickly; leaving a gap for offense
Why you think yo girl ain't call since the last day
Implying that he may have hooked up with the listener's girlfriend
Huhh, I'm gone, backspace, I've been rozay red, cafe
Leaving abruptly; drunk on alcohol
Bunch of bitches on they tipi toes like ballet
Girls being highly attracted to him
Smoking all day, have an .... in the ashtray
Continuously smoking marijuana throughout the day
Get it good, hit it's feeling like a facelift
Having good sex; it making him feel rejuvenated
I don't recycle mother fucker I'm wasted
Not being environmentally conscious
I got a head like Gena, & my bitch got an ass like Trina
Being proud of his own appearance and his significant other's body
