Robert James Ritchie (born January 17 1971), best known as Kid Rock, is an American rapper, singer and rock musician most notable for his albums Devil Without a Cause and Cocky and his hit singles "Bawitdaba" and "Picture." His backup band is known as Twisted Brown Trucker. Together, they fuse rap, hard rock, southern rock, country and blues. After Jive Records cut him loose in 1991 it would take an eight year struggle for stardom (Kid Rock as stated 10 years, but Grits Sandwiches For Breakfast was on a major label). Kid Rock's brand of Lynyrd Skynyrd boogie rock meets Run DMC rhymes would finally make him a household name in 1999. Devil Without A Cause's 3rd single "Bawitdaba" would help launch the "nu metal" explosion of the late 1990s, with its mixture of heavy metal riffs and rapped verses also helping sky rocket Devil's sales to a staggering 11 million.When the nu metal field became watered down, Kid Rock bolted quickly shifting gears going into Southern Rock and Country music....
