    Overall, Full Speed is probably Kid Ink’s best project to date. He sounds focused and he executes by pleasing his core fans with quality radio and club-friendly music.

    With worthy singles "Body Language," "Hotel," and "Be Real" added to the mix, there's much more fire than fodder here, enough to satisfy returning fans along with party people of all flavors.

    Most of the songs on Full Speed are catchy in their own right, but on the heels of tracks that sound so much alike just now seeing their expiration on radio, the feeling is mixed at best.

    The problem with Full Speed is that Kid Ink is often lost within his own album, as the listener anticipates the next song that's defined by its guest feature.

    On his second major-label album, he has more artistic aspirations, though they're mostly flat Kanye retreads.

    The infectiousness and jagged, bass-heavy production in some of the songs (“Like a Hott Boyy”) can’t compensate for the disc’s hollow core.

    Ultimately Full Speed feels like an album struggling to recreate “Body Language”‘s success over and over, sing-rapping his way through a variety of pretty familiar scenes exemplifying just how hard it is to be a talent in major need of a vision.

The only reason this album did not prove much of his starpower he had on his debut album was because he still did not differ much from other rappers and managed to still be less succesful.… Expand

    I think Full Speed is better than Kid Ink's last album but not because of his own skill or growth.

Rather, the production is more consistent, and the featured artists overall perform better. This album makes me think Kid Ink is never going to try to be something more as a musical artist.. and, honestly, he'd be a fool to take that risk because his un-creative, catchy songs continue to make him rich. ~ 5.7/10 ~ with deluxe tracks: 5.9/10
    Best track: "Diamonds & Gold" ~ a surprisingly-sonically-good song that also features a good performance from an artist I had never heard of previously, Verse Simmonds    … Expand
