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 βDiddyβ 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 rapperβs career. Teaming up with world-renowned DJ ill Will and DJ Rockstarβs 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.comβs βTop Mixtapes of the Weekβ section and amassed an astonishing 50 thousand downloads.
After Crash Landingsβ 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.

With videos under his belt including Internet sensations βLowkey Poppin,β βPleaseβ and βCali Dreamin,ββ Kid Ink is definitely rockinβ to his own beat.

Blowin' swishers out the window
Push a buck fifty, blowin' swishers out the window
Can't nobody fuck with me, blowin' swishers out the window
Blowin' swishers out the window
Police finna, blowin' swishers out the window
Everywhere we go we faded, blowin' swishers out the window
Rollin' through my city, blowin' swishers out the window
Blowin' swishers out the window
Blowin' swishers
Blowin' swishers out the window
Okay, I'm ridin' through the city blowin' swishers out the window
Blowin' swishers like nintendo, extendo the blunt lit long like a limo
Puf Puf pass give it back like a rental, for real though
Man this whole thing I can face it, for real though these bitches caught the vapers
Hot box nigga need a lil' ventilation
This motherfuck paper, this niggas suck the gation
Ugh
Rollin' rolled up in the rover, attitude like the one time it never pulled me over
Got the tool in the backseat, in case these niggas try me
Put the tool in the stash spot case you hit a siren
Rollin' through my city, blowin' swishers out the window
Blowin' swishers out the window
Push a buck fifty, blowin' swishers out the window
Can't nobody fuck with me, blowin' swishers out the window

All my last twenty bucks bet a young nigga spend it
