Kid Ink

After dropping 'No Option' featuring King Los yesterday, Kid Ink has released a new song to show fans that he's serious about his upcoming opus, 'My Own Lane.' The slinky club track, 'Iz U Down' featuring Tyga, should have the ladies twerking on the dancefloor.

Before Kid Ink drops his new project 'My Own Lane' next year, the Los Angeles rhymer delivers a n early Christmas gift for his fans -- new music. The rapper has released 'No Option' featuring King Los, which is track No. 7 from his new LP.

Kid Ink will enter 2014 on a high note. The Los Angeles native is set to release his debut album, 'My Own Lane,' on Jan. 7. The rapper just revealed the tracklist for the effort and it features plenty of top-notch artists.

Ever since artists like Too Short and N.W.A burst on to the scene in the late 1980s, the West Coast has been recognized as a hotbed for incredible and diverse hip-hop talent. Whether it was the gangsta music of artists like MC Eiht, Snoop Dogg and Above the Law or the decidedly non-gangsta rap stylings of groups like the Pharcyde and Tha Alkaholiks, there's been a plethora of dope MCs throughout t

'Show Me,' the lead single from Kid Ink's upcoming 'My Own Lane' album, is an uptempo track buoyed by reliable chorus crooner Chris Brown. It's clearly one made for a celebration, so it makes sense that the video is set in a packed house party.

It's simple math: Kid Ink plus Chris Brown plus a DJ Mustard beat equals a hit. Now multiply the momentum of a club banger like the Robyn S.-sampling 'Show Me' with a video directed by the multi-talented Chris Breezy himself and you've got something really special...

Kid Ink knows a little something about the grind. Selling albums is by no means an easy feat in today's fickle music industry. Yet he managed to do so without the help of a major label, selling 20,000 copies of 'Up & Away' -- his independent solo debut -- in its first week of release. Now he's an RCA Records signee, has a new album on the way and a few Chris Brown collaborations up his sleeve.

Kid Ink will move from mixtape projects to an EP next week. The Los Angeles native will debut the 'Almost Home' EP, a collection of five new songs and a remix of his current track "Bad Ass." The tattooed rhymer has already worked with the likes of Meek Mill and Wale on the aforementioned track...

The "American Idol" judges were interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter this month, and while Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey appear on the cover, their feud was barely discussed. Seems tense. Singer Chrisette Michelle has announced the release date of her fourth album, Better, which hits shelves April 30th, via Motown...

If there's one thing lists are good for, it's starting arguments. This is true for just about any style of music, but it goes double for hip-hop, a genre whose diehards don't mince words. No wonder XXL's just-announced Freshman Class of 2012 -- as well as the accompanying magazine cover, seen below -- is already causing such a stink online...
