Conservative rap rock/country star Kid Rock has announced his apparent new faith-based album, “Halfway 2 Jesus“. The first biblically-inspired single, “James 1:17“, has just debuted online below, with Rock dedicating the clip to Jimmie Bones of The Twisted Brown Tucker Band. The latter outfit serves as Rock‘s backing band, with Bones currently battling ALS. Rock also dedicated the video to Kalvin Lynch, who has an inoperable brain tumor. His Make A Wish was to play drums with Kid Rock.
While Rock‘s early lyrical content focused on debauchery and bravado, often punctuated by morally questionable verses, this latest album seems intent on espousing Christian beliefs and values. Interestingly, Eminem, another artist known for highly provocative lyrical content, is listed as a guest here on the featured track, “7 Sins“. The two artists previously collaborated together earlier in their careers.

01 – “Freedom“
02 – “James 1:17“
03 – “7 Sins” (feat. Eminem)
