Kid Ink Essentials

Kid Ink Essentials

With his supple, Lil Wayne-influenced flows and production help from SoCal kingmaker DJ Mustard, Los Angeles MC Kid Ink typifies the resurgent West Coast rap scene, where slinking, minimal beats grind up against EDM glitz. His 2013 smash “Show Me”—with its ping-ponging synths and signature Mustard handclaps—exemplifies the sound, while the hyphy-laden “Main Chick” and throbbing “Promise” take it even further. Ink's second home is the club, and he's often joined by fellow hedonistic A-listers like Chris Brown, Fetty Wap and Meek Mill in spinning tales of its excesses.
