The Rapper/Producer/Songwriter/Tattoo Aficionado has released three studio albums and charted two Top 20 hits in the USA.
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.

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.

Put It Down
Kid Ink Lyrics
You lookin like the type
Know just how to move it
Don't be so uptight
Ain't no need for choosing
Gon' take it down for a nigga like me
And I'mma turn you out baby
Girl before we leave here
Drop it to the floor, let me see you lose it
Get into the music, why you sittin clueless
Gon' take it down for a nigga like me
And I'mma turn you out baby girl
Before we leave here yea
Look around
And I can spot you through the crowd
It's gotta be a catch the
Way youu throw it out
And take it down, like u copywritten
Them other pussies copycattin'
Ain't nobody kiddin
With u babe, all the games you play
Stop that
And come and give me sugar like Kool-aid
Up all night, it's never too late
Just wanna lock that pussy down like boozay
Uh, they say who's he
Young nigga with the money tree
Bouquet, tryna throw it all over your bootay
That body on fire, souffle
And them lips is looking soup made
You lookin like the type
Know just how to move it
Don't be so uptight
Ain't no need for choosing
Gon' take it down for a nigga like me
And I'mma turn you out baby
Girl before we leave here
Drop it to the floor, let me see you lose it
Get into the music, why you sittin clueless
Gon' take it down for a nigga like me
And I'mma turn you out baby girl
Before we leave here yea
Uh, sipping on that pimp juice
Money in my pocket tell me whats new
Had dreams of that Bentley coup
Til' I copped it now my hood
Know im the nigga who
Gotta lotta money, gotta lotta things
Grip alot of grain I know
They talking now, but im walking round
With a double cup and im gone
Say why you so uptight, girl you just my type
And I might be that nigga
But only for tonight
Now shawty break it down for me
Shawty take it down, lay it down for a g
And I might give her anything
That she want from me
As long as she get down take
It real low for me
You lookin like the type
Know just how to move it
Don't be so uptight
Ain't no need for choosing
Gon' take it down for a nigga like me
And I'mma turn you out baby

Drop it to the floor, let me see you lose it
Get into the music, why you sittin clueless
