We chat with Kid Ink about his new album "Full Speed" and his system for impressing his label with his music.

As his big singles have proved, Kid Ink is one of the savviest artists in the hip-hop/R&B sphere. His new album, Full Speed, plays like a greatest hits compilation, and we had the privilege of sitting down with the man himself on release day. 

Ink talks about his strategy for making his label (RCA) excited about the album, "the system that we've been going with is just keeping that momentum going, and keep hitting 'em with back-to-back-to-back [singles]." He goes on to discuss his collaboration with Dej Loaf, his recent Lil Wayne cosign, and his thoughts on the Super Bowl outcome.
