Kid Rock

In a career spanning over 20 years, Kid Rock's music has encompassed rock, hip hop and country. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist who can play every instrument in his backing band, Kid Rock has overseen his own production on nine of his eleven studio albums that he released with his band, Twisted Brown Trucker. Kid Rock started his professional music career as a self-taught rapper and DJ, releasing his debut album "Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast" in 1990 on the major record label Jive; his subsequent independent releases "The Polyfuze Method" and "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp" saw him developing a more distinctive style which was fully realized on his 1998 album "Devil Without a Cause"; this and his subsequent album "Cocky" were noted for blending elements of hip hop, country, rock and heavy metal.

Twisted Brown Trucker is an American rock band from Detroit, Michigan. Formed in 1994 by singer-songwriter, rapper and musician Kid Rock,  the band has served as his backing band for eight of his eleven studio albums. By 1994, Kid Rock's live performances had mostly been backed by DJs Blackman and Uncle Kracker, but Kid Rock soon began to utilize more and more live instrumentation into his performances, and formed the rock band Twisted Brown Trucker. Through extensive promoting, including distributing tapes on consignment to local stores and giving away free samplers of his music, the band developed a following among an audience which DJ Uncle Kracker described as "white kids who dropped acid and liked listening to gangsta rap"; this following included local rapper Joe C., who had been attending the band's concerts as a fan, but upon meeting Kid Rock, was invited to perform on stage as Kid Rock's hype man.
Devil Without a Cause
Devil Without a Cause is the fourth studio album by Kid Rock. Released on August 18, 1998, the album saw Kid Rock continuing to develop his sound by incorporating rap metal, country rap and hard rock into his style. The album was a major commercial success. Spurred by the popularity of the hit single "Bawitdaba", the album sold 14 million copies, and was certified platinum 11 times. The album also received critical acclaim for its genre mixing sound, and is considered to be one of the best rock albums of the 1990s, receiving numerous accolades over the years. In 1997, Jason Flom, head of Lava Records, attented one of Kid Rock's performances, and met with Kid Rock, who later gave him a demo containing the songs "Somebody's Gotta Feel This" and "I Got One for Ya", which led to Kid Rock signing with Atlantic Records.
All Summer Long (Kid Rock song)
"All Summer Long" is a song by American recording artist Kid Rock. It was released in 2008 as the third single from his seventh studio album "Rock n Roll Jesus". The song samples two hit songs of the 1970s, Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama", while the intro sounds similar to Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". The idea for the mashup was suggested by Mike E. Clark. The song was a number-one hit in eight countries across Europe, Australia, and the United Kingdom. It even crossed over to southern rock radio, giving Kid Rock his first top-ten country hit.
Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast
Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast is the debut studio album by Kid Rock. Released on December 30, 1990 by Jive Records, the album is marked by a straightforward hip hop music style, in sharp contrast to the largely rock oriented sound of his later albums. Jive found the album difficult to promote due to its explicit lyrics, but upon release, it made Kid Rock one of Detroit hip hop's most successful recording artists to date, selling over 100,000 copies upon release. Kid Rock began his professional music career as a member of the hip hop music group The Beast Crew in the late 1980s. During this time, Kid Rock met rapper D-Nice, which led to Kid Rock opening at local shows for Boogie Down Productions.
