Kid Ink-My Own Lane

Artist: Kid Ink
Album: My Own Lane
Year Released:2014
Rating: 2/5 

                 In short, I could have lived without this album. I had never heard of Kid Ink before so when I saw it in the New Releases section in my local FYE, I thought I'd give him a try. If there were an argument for how stale HipHop has gotten in the past ten years, this album is it. Chock full of cliche hooks and tired lines, this album and artist is a flash in the pan. There was one whole song on the album that I enjoyed, the opening track predictably titled "Hello World." It is a very catchy and upbeat introduction to the album, but everything after that is just terrible. If you're a fan of modern HipHop, I highly recomend you look past this artist. Some better recommendations would be TyMcFly, Lil Wayne's album I Am Not A Human Being 2, and Jay-Z's album Holy Grail.
