Kid Ink recently sat down with VIBE and went over a few things. After signing onto a major label like RCA, Kid Ink is feeling the pressure build up. “It’s definitely a pressure to try to exceed what people expect from you — and then also exceed what I expect from myself,” the inked up kid says. You have to have higher expectations, since he’s no longer an independent artist. However, the pressure to work harder has not taken away from his tattoo sessions. He’s gotten so many that he doesn’t even know how many he has. “I lost count on my tattoos after about 22. It really got to a point that I was getting tattoos that I was forgetting about.” The two most important tats he does know, which are the two portraits on his chest of his mother and grandfather (the two people that raised him he says). Kid I just hope that when you’re 60, your still in shape. LOL. Ink fills us in on the collaborations he’s done with Meek Mill. “Bada**” wasn’t the first track that they did together. Well before the two were signed to any label they were making hits. Despite the fact that the two haven’t spoken about how their hustling as independent artists has turned in to pressure forced work on major labels is a good thing. WHY? “Because no one’s every really had that time to sit down. Everyone’s been working so hard,” Kid Ink mentions. I’m happy for…

Could A New Nas x Frank Ocean Collab Be On The Way?
Before his debut album Channel Orange dropped, Frank Ocean revealed that a collaboration between him and Nas was supposed to be a part of it, but a “technological mishap” led to the song being deleted forever.

In a recent chat with MTV, Nas revealed he’s totally open to working with Frank again, hoping they will “reconnect.” Watch the full interview below. Let’s hope this happens…and soon! Marisa Mendez
(Video) A$AP Rocky Wants To Work With Who ???
When dealing with A$AP Rocky he seems to always think outside of the box. I love how open-minded his when it comes down to being an eclectic musician. This time Rocky wants to do a collaboration with a British singer/songwriter by the name of Jessie Ware. “I knew about her since last summer. I’m working with her, I’m going to work with her. I want to bad,” Rocky says. You can tell he’s feeling her. “I don’t care about her being a star, I just think she has a beautiful voice and a lot of talent. I haven’t got the chance or honour to meet her yet – I just love her art,” he adds. That’s all that should matter. I checked out Jessie’s U.S. single, “Wildest Moments” and think the two would mesh very well in a collab. They have the same feel. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think. JaaiR (JR)
