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.

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.

Kid Ink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Okay Okay Okay
I Said Its Kid Ink baby, rocket ship shawty,
Rock it to the beat, kickin in my jordans
You can tell that I'm feeling myself for the moment,
Feeling myself holey moley.
Holey moley, holey moley,
Holey moley, holey moley,
You can tell that I'm feeling myself holey moley.
Now you know just what it is, running to me like a lab-ra
Put it from the left side out the fucking map,
So lit, lit up, ain't a motherfucking match.
Now I gotta stay fly (fly) way over your nest.
Buy a ticket too far and I ain't never coming back.
Give the bitch a cold shoulder, all this ice around my neck.
I said this kid ain't baby, chain by the kilo,
See you niggas looking at my rings like Smeagol.
Blowing all these switches, man, fucking up their echo,
While my ego got me feeling like ain't nobody equal.
In this bitch holey moley, moley, pack it, stunned.
Just like ravioli where you at, tell them donde estas
My crib look like vespas, might entertain your girlfriend,
Computer love, no question.
You see me rolling with hella bands like Chris Well
How you feeling, you, my best homie,
We out of here, bitch can't show.
I Said Its Kid Ink baby, rocket ship shawty,
Rock it to the beat, kickin in my jordans
You can tell that I'm feeling myself for the moment,
Feeling myself holey moley.
Holey moley, holey moley,
Holey moley, holey moley,
Holey moley, holey moley,
You can tell that I'm feeling myself holey moley.
Holey moley, moley, moley in your face.
Gold chains around my neck, gold bottles by the case.
Live a fast life, don't know how to pase it,
Can't lie, don't know about you, but me, nigga, I'm wasted.
Now it's ridiculousness, you left us for left up,
How get that pussy rubbed up, Wet, Batgang nigga.
It's set, settle down with all that left, we be where you at, in the lab,
Wow, going wow for a while,
Tell a nigga get back, tell a bitch get down,
I ain't never been a dog, but my nigga's all heads up.
Long night we're in here, sitting in the days, no telling,
What I'm about to do in this motherfucker,
Better know that I'm feeling (myself!)
I Said Its Kid Ink baby, rocket ship shawty,
Rock it to the beat, kickin in my jordans
You can tell that I'm feeling myself for the moment,
Feeling myself holey moley.
Holey moley, holey moley,
Holey moley, holey moley,
Holey moley, holey moley,
You can tell that I'm feeling myself holey moley.

So far the best times of my life have been doing my things with weed and stimulant drugs (don't hate on me, shits are bad but hey - can't undo what i did) when I drove around different colleges, partying with mad girls and blazing after work stacking paper - I would always have Rockshipshawty and Wiz Khalifa's ONIFC on repeat, bumping and driving everywhere high as fuck haha. Wouldn't change my past for the world.
