“Ink is ready to fully dive into her own artistry” – Rolling Stone

“Ink is one of the most successful and versatile songwriters to come out of Nashville in recent years.” – Variety

“A trio of early songs, ‘Turquoise Cowboy,’ ‘Hoedown,’ and ‘Blink of an Eye’ feel like amber-preserved pieces of countrified, mid-1970s soul.” – The Tennessean

NASHVILLE, TENN. – After dominating pop culture with collaborations on massive moments like Beyonce’s COWBOY CARTER and Kendrick Lamar’s GNX (including chart-topping hit “Luther”), Ink is ready to bring the heat with her debut EP, BIG BUSKIN’, out October 3 via Big Loud Records/Electric Feel Records. Along with the announcement, Ink has unveiled “Sweet Tea,” a dynamic track that blends country, rock and hip-hop to create a sound that’s distinctly her own. The accompanying video takes a heartfelt trip through Ink’s childhood in Atlanta, complete with baby photos and home videos complemented by recent footage of Ink returning to her old haunts.

A tribute to Ink’s early days busking in her hometown of Atlanta, BIG BUSKIN’ captures the GRAMMY nominated singer-songwriter’s essence: larger-than-life, bold and genre-bending with a no f*cks given authenticity. Of the new music, Ink shares, “I’m super excited about how this project turned out, it’s definitely something special and showcases a lot of different parts of myself. Each chapter you’re going to get something new, and each story you’re going to get something true. ‘Sweet Tea’ is one of my favorites off the EP, it feels like a refresh to the palate and I think it’s going to quench y’all’s thirst for real music. So get your cup ready, cause we’re spilling!”

Previous releases “Hoedown” and “Turquoise Cowboy” gave fans a taste of what to expect from the EP and received critical praise from Rolling Stone, The Tennessean, MusicRow and more. Just last month, Ink also joined BigXthaPlug for a feature on “24-7” off his new album I Hope You’re Happy. Meanwhile, Ink continues to be celebrated for her prolific songwriting career, being recognized as Spotify’s Songwriter of the Month and one of Variety’s Power of Women Top Songwriter honorees. This comes as mega-hit “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.
