Devil Without a Cause

Devil Without a Cause is the fourth studio album by Kid Rock. It was released on August 18, 1998 under his own label Top Dog Records in conjunction with Atlantic Records. Produced with John Travis, the album saw Kid Rock continuing to develop his sound by moving away from the predominately hip hop sound of his previous albums to a largely rap metal sound and marked the finalization of his stage persona as a redneck pimp. Additionally, the song “Cowboy” is seen as being instrumental in the development of the new fusion genre country rap
