Ink Releases Debut EP “BIG BUSKIN”
GRAMMY-nominated hitmaker Ink is bringing the heat with her debut EP BIG BUSKIN’, out today via Big Loud Records/Electric Feel Records. Blending country, rock, and hip-hop production with her chart-topping songwriting chops, Ink crafts a universe distinctly her own across the project’s 13 tracks.
Balancing poignant reflections on family and struggle with barn-burning anthems fit for a honky-tonk, Ink weaves a captivating tapestry held together by her unique knack for storytelling. On the new music, Ink proclaims, “The hell with all that BS — press play and find out — real music is back!”
Early singles “Sweet Tea,” “Hoedown,” and “Turquoise Cowboy” received widespread critical praise from Billboard, Rolling Stone, Music Row, The Tennessean, and more, highlighting Ink as an artist to watch. Fans will get a chance to hear the new music live next spring, as Ink was announced on the Stagecoach 2026 lineup last week. A lucky few also got to catch Ink earlier this week at Whiskey Jam in Nashville and last night at her EP release show at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles.
Over the last few years, Ink has cemented herself at the center of major cultural moments with songwriting credits on Beyonce’s COWBOY CARTER and RENNAISSANCE and Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (including chart-topping hit “Luther”). She was recognized as Spotify’s Songwriter of the Month and one of Variety’s Power of Women Top Songwriter honorees. This comes as “Luther” continues to receive Song of the Year buzz for the 2026 GRAMMYs.
Born in Germany and raised in Georgia, Ink got her start busking on the streets before going on to collaborate with legends like Trae tha Truth and Nipsey Hussle. Her discography includes cuts with Childish Gambino, Justin Bieber, Kacey Musgraves, Lil Nas X, and Jennifer Lopez, to name a few. With more exciting collaborations and new music on the way, Ink is poised for global domination.
Stay tuned for more!
