Up & Away

has delivered a flashy montage of California living for his “Money And The Power” video. Slick editing makes the familiar scenes feel fresh, but there’s no denying the true highlight of this post is the song itself. 
Hip hop doesn’t have to be about proving yourself as the boss of all bosses or bragging about whatever material possessions you’ve been able to acquire, but all too often these days those seem to be the only topic major label rappers deliver. Kid Ink offers his fair share of rhymes on these themes, but his recently released Almost Home EP also showcases the young emcee’s ability to conquer a variety of additional topics as well. “Money And The Power” may sound like another brag fest, but in reality it’s just a tune about trying to live the good life; working hard for the money and the power, but remembering that it means nothing if you can’t have a little fun every now and again.
