Editor's note

Kid Rock's rowdy mix of rock, hip-hop, and country

From 'Bawitdaba' to 'All Summer Long,' his sound became a radio staple.

For the full picture, you've got to hear 'Bawitdaba' and 'All Summer Long.' They bookend the sound he's known for.

Kid Rock's 1998 album 'Devil Without a Cause' hit number one, and songs like 'All Summer Long' became inescapable on the radio for a while. He built a lane that mashed up rock, hip-hop, and country when not many others were doing it quite that way. The track 'American Bad Ass' sums up the attitude pretty directly.

He started making music in Romeo, Michigan. After 'Devil Without a Cause,' he kept putting out records that mixed those styles, like the self-titled 'Kid Rock' in 2003 and 'All Summer Long' in 2008. More recent albums include 'Sweet Southern Sugar' and 2022's 'Bad Reputation.'
