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.

Produced by David Guetta. Above, you’ll find a video that’s in subtitles (If you don’t speak French) of David premiering a rough cut/snippet of this song a few months ago. When I heard this song, it sounded extremely familiar. If you didn’t realize, David put out a song with Rico Love called “Extra Hard”. It was labeled as a demo. If you compare the two tracks, you’ll see that it’s the same beat but tweaked slightly. That’s the industry for you. Fresh New Tracks, a place where we do our homework even on game day. With that being said, shout out to all my people at SMU in Dallas. Go Mustangs!
