Kid Rock is renowned for his genre-defying music, which often incorporates rock, hip-hop, and country elements. Kid Rock has complete control over the production process, and as a multi-instrumentalist, he can add a variety of unique touches to his music.
Part country rocker, part hip hop artist, the Michigan-born musician performed with two Detroit hip hop groups before earning a solo contract in the late 1980s. His first album, "Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast," was popular enough in 1990 to make him one of Detroit's top rap performers. When one of the radio stations that played songs from his album was fined the greatest amount ever for playing one of his more provocative songs, he became more widely known.
After that, his popularity plummeted, and he lost his recording contract. In the years that followed, he released two additional albums and an EP, and toured continuously. Early in 1997, he secured a new record deal, and his fifth album, "Devil Without a Cause," was released in 1998. The album ultimately achieved Platinum status, selling 13 million copies worldwide. Since then, he has alternated between country, rock, and hip hop, releasing seven additional studio albums.
