KID ROCK - KID ROCK FOR SECOND RUN-DMC COLLABORATION

KID ROCK is set to team up with rap superstars RUN-DMC again - because he loves working with the group. The 37-year-old star performed with the band at the 1999 MTV Music Awards, joining Run-DMC and rockers Aerosmith for their hit single Walk This Way. Rock - real name Robert Ritchie - has since toured with the hip-hop legends and can't wait to collaborate with them again, as he's been a fan since childhood. He says, "For me, Run-DMC was really the blues music of my day and age. When I really got older...I started to analyse music and break it down - my love for blues music for jazz, R+B, which basically and put its finger on everything on popular culture until hip-hop came along. "When hip-hop came along, this has been the only other musical art form that we've seen that's touched everything in popular culture."
