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.

Kid Ink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Probably somewhere you can't even get it,
Don't try, we gonna be here for a minute,
Tell 'em I ain't living to the late finish,
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Loaded, I'm loaded, four shots in and
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Gotta find it in a drill, my niggas got it, still
Real with the real, my DJ even I'll.
In column wheel, big from Jowel,
Screaming my mind, but ain't no Johnny I'll.
Got it any hard, I pop it any set,
I wish a nigga would've put his life to the test.
I made it God's grace to say I'm turning late,
We're like jaded on my aye, separate make a G.
I should go before the sun up, welcome back tutter,
Probably fly trotter, fly a litter faller.
I'm all about my twat, and there I wanna vet,
Stupid say I'm sick, I call it a shack.
You can tell I ain't even try to fit in,
Probably somewhere you can't even get it,
Don't try, we gonna be here for a minute,
Tell 'em I ain't living to the late finish,
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Loaded, I'm loaded, four shots in and
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Loaded, I'm loaded, where should I begin?
Knocking down your door like Avon,
Sign niggas, now we ain't playing.
Ready to go, tell 'em they don't have to wait on,
See me with the prepare hood, niggas they don't have to trade on.
Your boy fresh in a dope boy hat,
With a pitch of perfect bitch, come and get a codac.
I don't need a cosign period cotext,
They stop to my house and got a Rolex.
You can tell I ain't even try to fit in,
Fuck all the politicians in the city.
Later on they gonna say a nigga get in
Pocket full of hundreds and I'm feeling like a milli.
You can tell I ain't even try to fit in,
Probably somewhere you can't even get it,
Don't try, we gonna be here for a minute,
Tell 'em I ain't living to the late finish,
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Loaded, I'm loaded, four shots in and
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Loaded, I'm loaded, where should I begin?
I'm in this black air heesy, straight to Givenchy,
Gold chains on racks hanging from my pocket.
My whole team's winning, losing never was an option,
That's why your bitch's here and leaves with her head popping.
I be going in, here we go again, ain't got to ask no question, though.
Bottles from out that roof, sparkle right on my whole section
Bitch, you know I am out of marley, probably off a tooth,
All black, probably killing scenes where youth.
Standing in the line while I'm standing on a sofa,
Pussy popping like the paparazzi camera when they saw me.
Might not see tomorrow, so tonight I tear the shit closer,
Part might feel my boy's caps and a glass of more Patron.
You can tell I ain't even try to fit in,
Probably somewhere you can't even get it,
Don't try, we gonna be here for a minute,
Tell 'em I ain't living to the late finish,
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Loaded, I'm loaded, four shots in and
I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded, I'm loaded,
Loaded, I'm loaded, where should I begin?
