Although the name Kid Ink is relatively unknown to the mainstream music, he is a rising star in the indie rap scene. Mixing together all the elements highly popularized in the genre of sex, drugs, and money, this Cali rapper has been steady on his grind. After releasing his mixtape RocketShipShawty and independent album Up&Away , there has been a heavy bidding war for Ink's signature on a major label deal. Finally signing with RCA records this new year, he celebrates by dropping his major-label debut track titled "Bad Ass". This Devin [...]
Kid Ink links up with MMG's own Wale and Meek Mill for his RCA debut single.
LA's Kid Ink has seen plenty of progress over the past year, thanks to a heavy promo push and plenty of hard work from not just the dude but his whole team, led by DJ Ill Will . On LA's Power 106 this week, Ink premiered his first big major label single (following his announcement with RCA ) in the Meek Mill x Wale assisted "Bad Ass". Given the track's got all the makings of a radio banger, which it'll likely be, it's interesting to look back on the path [...]

Day 4 of our 4-day countdown of the best of the year. Part 1 (80-61) can be found here . Part 2 (60-41) can be found here . Part 3 (40-21) can be found here . To recap: AlbatRoss and I had 2 guidelines that we stuck to in compiling this list: 1) it had to be rap (meaning no R&B - Frank Ocean and Miguel had killer years but they won't be found on this list) and 2) one song per project on the list. We did this (including honorable mentions, of course) to make sure we brought a [...]

It takes something entirely different to shut down one of the most heavily trafficked roadways in the fifth biggest city in the country and set up a gigantic stage with wings coming out the sides. Jay-Z’s first annual Made In America Festival took over Philadelphia this past weekend, serving as another glorious manifestation of all the rapper’s successes over his career. Just when you think he couldn't climb any higher, he finds a way to take it just a little bit [...]
