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 ↴
My baby really knocks me out (Gone)
We're as happy as can be (Ha)
Shes really got a hold on me
Ms.Jane I just want to tell you that I love you
I love you so high never put no one above you Ms
There's something about the things that you do to me
Yeah, you such a knock out the sky is the limit and I ride clouds
You say you got that fire can I try it now?
Looking up to the heaven but I'm high as hell
Roll another one? Might as well It ain't nothing but a word and I excel
You got me on another level never hard to find I'm connected like a lego
Every time we ride got to roll up all the windows,feeling smoking as a train I can barely see a thing man
Don't want to be without her (Nope)
Every single night can't sleep without her cause
She's the only one I care about (yeah)
My baby really knocks me out (Gone)
We're as happy as can be (Ha)
Shes really got a hold on me
Ms.Jane I just want to tell you that I love you
I love you so high never put no one above you Ms
There's something about the things that you do to me
I'mma break you down into little pieces
We have such a great time birthday 4/20 we the same sign (Go)
Smile when I look into your green eyes
Split a swisher down, D-line
You got my mind in a daze, so we party hard like it's the end of our days
Amen any higher I'mma take a trip to Heaven
She's my medic relieve my headache
Dr.Jane but I call her Misses only need 30 minutes and I'm already missing her
Don't want to be without her, Every single day can't leave without her cause
She's the only one I care about (yeah)
My baby really knocks me out (Gone)
We're as happy as can be (EghhhH)
Shes really got a hold on me
Ms.Jane I just want to tell you that I love you
I love you so high never put no one above you Ms
There's something about the things that you do to me
I'mma break you down into little pieces
The song "Ms. Jane" by Kid Ink is a love song that compares the power of his love for his girl to the power of marijuana. The song begins with Kid Ink stating that his girl is the only one he cares about and musically, the chorus captures the joy and happiness they share in their relationship. Kid Ink affirms his love for his girl and how she never leaves his side despite his love for marijuana, which he calls Ms. Jane. He compares their love to the power of marijuana, stating that he might as well roll another one and that she's a knockout who takes him to the next level.

Kid Ink's flow throughout the song is smooth, and the instrumental is groovy, which makes the song enjoyable to listen to.
