Kid Rock’s Biography
Bob ‘Kid Rock’ Ritchie grew up in Romeo, MI, a small rural town north of the Detroit metro area. Finding small-town life stiflingly dull, Ritchie immersed himself in rap music, learned to breakdance, and began making the talent-show rounds in Detroit. Kid Rock recorded his first demos in 1988, and eventually scored an opening slot at a Boogie Down Productions gig. That performance, in turn, led to a contract with Jive Records, which issued Kid Rock’s debut album, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, in 1990. Moving to Brooklyn, Rock hooked up with the small Continuum label, and moved his brand of rap further into hard rock with The Polyfuze Method, released in 1993. Reviews were mixed, with some critics praising the record’s humor and eclecticism while others dismissed it as awkward and forced. The EP Fire It Up followed in 1994, appearing on Rock’s own Top Dog imprint. Atlantic Records decided to take a chance on signing Rock. Devil Without a Cause didn’t do much upon its initial release in August 1998, but a big promotional push from the label and MTV helped make the album’s second single and video, ‘Bawitdaba,’ a nationwide smash. The follow-up, ‘Cowboy,’ achieved similar success, and suddenly, after a decade of trying, Kid Rock was a superstar with a Top Five, seven-times-platinum album and a gig at Woodstock ’99.. In fall 2003, Kid Rock returned with a self-titled effort. A cover of Bad Company’s ‘Feel Like Makin’ Love’ marked the first single. The cover art to his 2006 live album, Live Trucker, paid tribute to Bob Seger’s Live Bullet. Just a year later the studio record Rock N Roll Jesus came out, landing at number one and selling 172,000 copies in its first week. Born Free, produced by Rick Rubin arrived in 2010
