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.

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

Closet Freak
Kid Ink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get you to the crib
Show you how I live
Put on your favourite song
Lay you on the bed
Do a couple things
I know that you ain't doing with your man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out tonight
Said I'm a bring her out, bail bonds
Beat it up, like some alpines
Just take another shot, foul line
Energy like I'm runnin on some alkalines
Posin shins like pilates
Tase her too, she can feel it in her body
It's gettin hot in here, just catch a tan
'Cause girl I got a plan
I know that you ain't doing with your man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out tonight
'Cause baby he can't do it like I do
I know how to bring out a IQ
Good brain in the fast lane
So we don't play games like
We from the ceilin' to the floor
Got three things that you never did before
Eyes roll back
Put her in a trance
See girl I got a plan
I know that you ain't doing with your man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out tonight
Good girl gone bad know you heard of her
We wake the neighbours up, disturbia
Got the lights off, no sheets
Headboard kno-knocking like the police
Cartwheels and handstands
Shit you never did with your last man
Don't got to say it again
But girl I got a plan
I know that you ain't doing with your man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out
She a closet freak
Closet freak
Closet freak
And I'm a bring her out tonight
The lyrics of Kid Ink’s “Closet Freak” describe a sexual encounter with a girl who is usually timid and reserved, but “freaky” in bed. The girl is described as a “closet freak,” meaning she keeps her sexual desires hidden from others. Kid Ink promises to bring out this side of her and get her to do things she has never done before with her man. He plans to take her to his crib, play her favorite song, and do things that her man has never been able to do.
Throughout the song, Kid Ink describes the different things he will do to her such as “beat it up, like some alpines,” make her “eyes roll back” and do “cartwheels and handstands.” He also suggests that his sexual prowess is superior to her man’s, and that he knows how to “bring out” her IQ, which could be a double entendre for her intellectual and sexual abilities. The song is ultimately about exploring and indulging in sexual fantasies.
The song's heavy use of explicit language and sexually suggestive lyrics sparked controversy, with some criticizing it for objectifying women. However, others see it as a catchy and fun party anthem that encourages uninhibited, consensual sexual exploration.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, girl we can chill
Let's relax and hang out together
Get you to the crib
Take you back to my home
Show you how I live
Share with you my lifestyle and habits
Put on your favourite song
Play the music you love
Lay you on the bed
Invite you to get comfortable in my bedroom
Do a couple things
Engage in intimate acts
I know that you ain't doing with your man
I am aware that you do not do these things with your boyfriend
Got her doing things she ain't doing with her man
I am exposing her to new experiences and pleasures
She a closet freak
She hides her wild side from the world
And I'm a bring her out
I am bringing out her true self
Said I'm a bring her out, bail bonds
I am committed to releasing her inner desires, like bailing someone out of custody
Beat it up, like some alpines
I am going to make love to her passionately
Just take another shot, foul line
Let's keep going, like taking an extra shot in basketball
Energy like I'm runnin on some alkalines
I have a lot of sexual energy
Posin shins like pilates
I am posing in a provocative way
Tase her too, she can feel it in her body
I am electrifying her senses and arousing her physically
It's gettin hot in here, just catch a tan
It's getting steamy and warm, so let's enjoy it
'Cause baby he can't do it like I do
I am more skilled and satisfying in bed compared to her boyfriend
I know how to bring out a IQ
I can bring out her intelligence and sensuality
Good brain in the fast lane
Sexual prowess and expertise
So we don't play games like
We are not playing around or playing hard to get
We from the ceilin' to the floor
We are exploring every inch of pleasure from head to toe
Got three things that you never did before
I have new exciting experiences she has never tried
Eyes roll back
A sign of intense sexual pleasure
Put her in a trance
I am intoxicating her with physical pleasure
See girl I got a plan
I have a sexual plan and am in control
Good girl gone bad know you heard of her
I am aware of her secret desires and wild side
We wake the neighbours up, disturbia
We are making noise and causing a scene with our passionate love making
Got the lights off, no sheets
We are having sex in the dark without sheets, adding to the excitement
Headboard kno-knocking like the police
The headboard is making noise from the intensity of our lovemaking
Cartwheels and handstands
We are trying wild new positions and maneuvers
Shit you never did with your last man
I am introducing her to new and exciting experiences she has never had with her ex
Don't got to say it again
I do not have to repeat myself, as she knows and understands my intentions
