Kid Ink – Xclusives Zone Interview

Kid Ink is currently out in New York for a promo run and we got a chance to sit down with him and chop it up. He talks about signing with RCA Records and why he made the decision to go the major route. He then goes on to talk about his recent studio session with Pharrell and lets us know that he wants to work with his labelmate, Alicia Keys.

Kid Ink proceeds to speak on The Alumni movement, crazy tour stories, how he got Meek Mill and Wale on his ‘Bad Ass’ single, the ‘Victorious’ track he did for Funkmaster Flex’s tape and his live shows.

Kid Ink – Full Speed

Produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, this one has a little bit of history: ‘Full Speed’ was intended to be the intro track to Rocketship Shawty but was removed after Machine Gun Kelly released ‘See My Tears‘, which uses the same instrumental. Anyways, you can check it out now; I think he should’ve kept it on the project, personally.

Kid Ink made it official and signed a deal at RCA Records. Congrats!

“We achieved so much last year independently but we just felt it was time to team up with a major in 2013 to take it to the next level and RCA is as excited as we are about the vision and possibilities.”

The SVP of A&R & Marketing J. Grand adds:

“I’m ecstatic to have someone as multi-talented as Kid Ink, along with the backing of Tha Alumni team with us at RCA Records. We see him not just as an emerging domestic star but as someone whose music and entrepreneurship is already developing a global presence.”

Below is the his single “Bad Ass” featuring Wale and Meek Mill, originally off his recent release Rocketshipshawty .

Kid Ink (@Kid_Ink) Feat. Machine Gun Kelly (@MachineGunKelly) – Hell & Back (Remix)

Kid Ink & Machine Gun Kelly come together for a track that will probably only get play in their respective areas. Not saying this is bad, I just see it falling under the radar. Could be wrong.
