Hip-Hop | Kid Ink – Main Chick (Ft. LL Cool J, Chris Brown & Tyga) [Remix]
Posted by VMan on February 10, 2014
Hip hop legend LL Cool J hops on Kid Ink’s “Main Chick” featuring LL Cool J, Chris Brown & Tyga, and you have Kevin Hart to thank for that! The story goes, funny man Kevin Hart was live on DJ Whoo Kid’s “Whoolywood Shuffle” on Shade 45 and when asked which MC he wanted to hear first in the celebrity guest-mix, his answer was “LL Cool J’s I Need Love.” This brought Whoo to reach out and dare LL live on the air to write a verse to Kid Ink’ single. 3o Minutes later, LL sent over his verse and the remix was played live on the air, proving that the veteran still has it! This is a must listen!
Hip-Hop, Rap | Dizzy Wright – The Golden Age
Posted by yabishcic on November 10, 2013
I don’t know how I ever overlooked the release of Dizzy Wright’s mixtape The Golden Age, which was dropped on August 19th, but here it is everyone. I’ve been taking a listen over the last couple of days and this is the biggest progression of maturity and production I’ve seen out of Dizzy since he’s been on the come up. With features like SwizZz, Honey Concaine, Kid Ink, Wyclef, Joey Badass, Logic, & more I’m thoroughly impressed. I’ve always respected Dizzy for his too-real raps and his great selection of beats that he’s notoriously rapped over the last couple of years, but The Golden Age has to be my favorite by far. Such a great compilation of mixes from bangers to mellow beats, everyone should hop on the Dizzy Wright train cuz it’s taking off.

Hip-Hop | Kid Ink — Money and the Power

This kid has been around for awhile, but honestly I was just never compelled enough by what I had heard of him on features to give him a full listen. Last week he released his major label debut in the form of a six-track EP, Almost Home, which features the likes of Wale, Meek Mill, Rico Love, and French Montana, and after seeing that his song “Money and the Power” was getting a fair amount of praise, I decided to check him out. This is by far my favorite song off the project — it has an incredibly upbeat, catchy, and pop-oriented beat produced by N4 and longtime collaborator Ned Cameron, and Kid Ink has enough lyrical chops and charisma to win me over. He also, unexpectedly, has a pretty good singing voice. Take a listen below, and if you’re interested, you can find his full EP on iTunes here.

Posted by LoffyG on April 28, 2012
I recently had the opportunity to interview Kid Ink while he was performing in Minneapolis, MN. I hit him with my “On The Spot” interview to see what kind of responses I would get. If you aren’t familiar with Kid Ink I added one of his music videos after the jump. You can also download two of his recent mixtapes below. He has an upcoming album in the works titled Up And Away, dropping June 12th. A big thank you to Kid Ink for taking out the time for the interview and EXP Promotions for making it possible!

Hip-Hop | Wale, Kid Ink, Los, Hopsin
Posted by Grubeats on March 15, 2012
To be honest, I’m too preoccupied in the Madness right now to give you guys a decent write up. Here’s my abbreviated synopsis. Wale jocks the popular track “Cashing Out” by Cash Out (clever title bro. P.S. you sound like Roscoe Dash), Kid Ink drops the second single off his debut LP, Los drops yet another joint, this time not a freestyle, and 2012 XXL Freshman Hopsin let’s go of a new song in honor of March Madness.
Wale – Cashin Out (Freestyle)
Kid Ink – Neva Gave A Fuck (Prod by DJ Invasion)
Los – Love It ft. Mia Rey & Fred The Godson
Hopsin – Hop Madness
Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | XV, DMX ft. MGK, Kid Ink

XV gives us a visual treatment for his take on Drake’s “The Motto”. Keeping it real for his Squarians while on his “Midwest State of Mind” tour, Vizzy delivers 7 traits of L7 (make an “L” and a “7” with your hands, flip them and put them together, you’ve got a square– you’re a Squarian).
DMX goes bonkers on this beat, emphasizing the fact he stays gangsta in the club, swaying to the beat. Recruiting Bad Boy’s hard spitting white boy, MGK, who I think was star struck by the fact his all time favorite Ruff Rider had put him on a track. This track will likely be on DMX’s upcoming project, Undisputed.
Kid Ink keeps pumping out the new free music as his recent track, “Time Of My Life”, off his debut album Up & Away keeps crawling up the iTunes charts. Doing what he does best, The Alumni takes Kirko Bangz track “Drank In My Cup” and flips it to be more environmentally sustainable, if you know what I mean.
