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.

Immediately following the success of βUp & Awayβ Ink toured the US, selling out shows throughout the Country including 6 Summer Jam concerts, followed by a headlining βUp & Awayβ UK Tour that included 25 shows in 35 days β selling out 18 of the shows. βUp & Awayβ has sold well over 50k albums to date (US) & over 70k worldwide.
After the immediate sales success of βUp & Away,β 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 βRocketshipshawtyβ 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 βBad Assβ feat MMG heavyweights Wale & Meek Mill.

Kid Ink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lighter in my hand, colored strain in my swish
Niggas be like "damn, boy you get it and you flex"
I just be like "nah, I just get it how I live" (Ah yeah, yeah)
Pull up real fast, on my curb (SKKRT)
0 to 100 when I swang and I swerve
See them niggas hate
But they never say a word
Bet I make her wanna flirt (Oh yeah, yeah)
You know just how to move that little der, yeah
Slim thick, gon' throw it to me like a hail mary
Hell yeah, I love it when you nasty
And staring at that ass whenever you pass me

Like some of my girls ghetto and classy
Hit you from the back in back of the backseat
Hydraulics how we tippin' the wagon (Aw yeah)
I'm with a freak in the sheets
Big booty, tip drill like the Jam of The Week
She always wanna ride 'til she fallin' asleep
808 pounding it like I'm makin' a beat (Oooh)

Whip it cake batter in the bowl how I lick it
