Almost Home EP Album Review. The new EP from Kid Ink may be titled Almost Home, but I think its now safe to say Ink, is already home.

While the sample size might be small, as there are only six cuts on the project, The RCA signee displays a confidence on the mic than lends you to believe he is at home in the spotlight. He knows who he is, what lane he is in, and how to put together a radio-friendly banger. Although I was familiar with the name Kid Ink I can’t say I’ve ever listened to a full project from the west coast rapper, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from Almost Home. But after the first cut, Bossin’ Up, I had a pretty good idea of who he was. Ink is more of a mainstream emcee, as his songs all have a similar vibe, but while some might use that as an excuse to churn out songs like a factory, you can tell Ink isn’t one of those emcees.

Ink’s energy and strong flow give you the sense he puts his all into each song. This quality is often one keeps you invested; you will find yourself unable to help but sing along with Ink as his energy is intoxicating.

Not hurting things either is his unique flow, fluctuating between an edgier flow ( F**k Sleep) and a sung-rapped style shown on Money and the Power, perhaps the most radio ready cut on the project. This style serves him well considering the big names he has as features. Take the remix of the single, Bad Ass, featuring Wale and Meek Mill. Mill and Wale’s effort are both inconsistent and out of left field - especially Wale’s altered and, at times, Wayne/Minaj-esque flow - but Ink serves as the anchor; his raucous verse and catchy hook turning a otherwise inconsistent song into solid effort. As demonstrated on Bad Ass, Ink knows how to make a hook. In fact (along with his beat selection) his hookwork makes the EP. His knack for delivering memorable, catchy will win over even the most stingy, hardheaded hip-hop fan who might be on the fence about the verses of both Ink and his many guests.

Almost Home isn’t without his faults. The EP reads like a mixtape, lacks any deeply rooted themes or concepts, and at times can feels monotonous as he doesn’t really experiment with different sounds. Brian Collins (his government name) knows what he does well and has it down to a fine science; he demonstrate his ability to put together a high-energy song and his hooks are top notch, while not without its flaws, the Almost Home EP is a good jumping off point for the emcee.

I see a lot of talent, but there is room for growth; it should be exciting to see what he does with his skill set in the future. DJBooth Rating - 3.5 Spins.
