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.
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 Inkβs uncompromising work ethic would not allow him to rest on his more than impressive laurels; there needed to be a βvisualβ 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 βLowkey Poppin,β βPleaseβ and βCali Dreamin,ββ Kid Ink is definitely rockinβ to his own beat.
Kid Ink continued his 2011 tear by releasing βWheels Up,β 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 βWheels Up,β Ink has been on a mini βWheels Upβ 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.

After the immediate sales success of βUp & Away,β Ink found himself in a bidding war with all the major labels.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fresh up out the kitchen
Broke that bitch right up on that counter top
Me and Mary Jane, Bloody Mary's in the mirror
Say my name three times, I'll be there with that killer
Can you smell what we smoking on
Let me break it down, nugget size of a poke-ball
Swear just one pick up have your finger
Feeling like the back side of a sticker
Only rolling (Bom Bom), need a swisher
Shawty says she got a pom pom
She a right now girl, it don't matter to me
No substraction, tell 'em I'ma addict baby, ugh!
It feels like I'm in a daze, my mind in a haze
You can see it in my ways ugh
But we do this everyday, anybody got a problem wit it
You know what I'm saying ah
Roll up, Roll up, Roll up, Roll up, Roll up
Get right to it, you ain't even gotta ask
You know what the fuck I'm doing
I roll it like a diploma, high up
Trying not to fall in a kush coma (Yeah)
Second hand smoke, just from the aroma (Yeah!)
Smell that loud niggas telling me to tone it down
Ugh got a nigga barely moving
Stoned like I've been eye fucking with Medusa
Right to the medula
But it make your blunt look skinny like a cue tip
We blowing up bombs
So just relax, sit back and cuff your time
You're looking for the light, I got it like Tron
Ain't nobody on the level that I'm on
It feels like I'm in a daze, my mind in a haze
You can see it in my ways, ugh
But we do this everyday, anybody got a problem wit' it
You know what I'm saying ah
Roll up, Roll up, Roll up, Roll up, Roll up
Get right to it, you ain't even gotta ask
You know what the fuck I'm doing.
In Kid Ink's song "Bom Bom", he talks about his love for marijuana and how it affects his mind. He compares smoking to being on a cloud and feeling like he's in a daze or haze, which can be seen in his ways. He mentions rolling a joint with a nugget-sized of marijuana like a poke-ball and feeling like he's barely moving due to the effects. The line "Me and Mary Jane, Bloody Maryβs in the mirror, Say my name three times, Iβll be there with that killer" suggests that he is in a state of mind where he is seeing things or hallucinating. He also mentions that anyone who has a problem with his smoking habit can tell them that he's an addict and that he doesn't care.
The chorus where he says "Roll up, Roll up, Roll up" suggests that he wants to keep smoking and getting high. The line "But we do this everyday, anybody got a problem witβ it, You know what Iβm saying ah" further emphasizes that he is not going to stop even if someone tells him to. He ends the song by saying, "Get right to it, you ain't even gotta ask, you know what the f**k I'm doing." This line suggests that he is not ashamed of his smoking habit and will continue to do it without hesitation.

Ainβt nobody on the level that Iβm on
Nobody is as high as me
