Los Angeles rapper Kid Ink has been buzzing around the internet after releasing his first Mixtape Crash Landing, he now returns with his sophomore release Daydreamer. The 22 song project includes features from Young Money members Gudda Gudda and Corey Gunz, Meek Mill and Sean Kingston. A strong point of this Mixtape would definitely be the instrumentals. The beats that I personally love came from Jahlil Beats and Young Jerz. A couple songs I loved included some samples that were wonderfully incorporated like the track “FastLane” or “Cali Dreamin”. Although Kid Ink does not show much originality, most of his songs are about his love for money and women, he still has some clever lyricism and incorporates some nice metaphors. One flaw of the release was that very few songs really stood out. Honestly, 15 songs on the tape sound exactly the same to me and have no different meaning to them. It is apparent Ink has some mainstream potential considering his songs with Sean Kingston and other artists who sing some hooks sound very commercial. I see Ink absolutely blowing up and teaming up with Young Money due to his selling capabilities.
