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.
Ink started 2012 red hot as the first single βTime Of Your Lifeβ off his debut album βUp & Awayβ was picked up in early January by radio & the first week this song was released on iTunes it sold a staggering 20k copies. βTime Of Your Lifeβ 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 βTime Of Your Lifeβ has reached over 12 million views on Youtube and was added to regular rotation on MTV Jams and MTV2.

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 ↴
You a pro everytime you hit the pole
I I love it when you take it to the top
Drop, and stop it right before you hit the floor
Drop, drop, and stop it right before you hit the floor
I I love it when you take it to the top
Drop, and stop it right before you hit the floor
Ass like Coco, move that thang slow mo
Alumni bitch, I know you can see the logo
Uhh, its just me and all my money
Ones, tens, twenties, fi fifty's, hundoes
See me sittin' front row
Now keep moving round like a jumprope
And I'mma keep pourin up shots: Gunsmoke
Gone, take it straight to the ceiling
And po pop a couple bottles
Fuck a two drink minimum
One named suga, and a girl named cinnamon
Think its bout that time, red lights, stop signs
Damn, girl I know exactly where to throw
You a pro everytime you hit the pole
I I love it when you take it to the top
Drop, and stop it right before you hit the floor
Drop, drop, and stop it right before you hit the floor
I I love it when you take it to the top
Drop, and stop it right before you hit the floor
Ugh, bitch be professional come get this money

The lyrics to Kid Ink's "Stop" are all about celebrating the art form of pole dancing. The song starts with Ink complimenting the dancer on her skills, encouraging her to take it to the top and drop it down low before hitting the floor. Tyga takes over and speaks to the professionalism of the dancers, emphasizing that they deserve to be compensated for their talent. In the final verse, 2 Chainz jumps in and adds his own commentary, speaking to his love of the atmosphere and the vibe when he goes to the club.
One interesting element of the lyrics to "Stop" is the attention paid to the details of the dancers' performances. The song is all about the specific moves that the performers use on the pole, and Ink seems to have a real appreciation for the craft that goes into it. This may be because Ink himself has worked as a DJ in strip clubs in the past, giving him a unique perspective on the art form.
Another noteworthy aspect of the song is the sheer number of references to money and the club atmosphere. The lyrics reference singles, twenties, fifties, hundreds, and more, showcase the culture of tipping and generosity that exists in many strip clubs. The song's call to "stop, drop, and pop it" is a nod to both the dance moves and the continuous flow of money that goes hand in hand with the club scene.
All in all, "Stop" is a highly sexualized and somewhat controversial song, tapping into a culture that many people find problematic. However, it also presents an interesting window into the world of pole dancing and strip clubs, exploring the talent and professionalism that goes into the performances.
