Fire It Up is an EP released by American rapper Kid Rock in 1993.[2] [3] The vinyl edition served as a single for his song "I Am the Bullgod", consisting of that song and "My Oedipus Complex" as a B-side, while the cassette and compact disc editions were extended plays with other songs.

Release

Fire It Up was released in December 1993,[3] under the indie label Continuum Records. It appeared initially on cassette, compact disc,[3] and on 7" vinyl. Following the success of Devil Without a Cause, Kid Rock purchased the rights to Fire It Up and licensed it to Atlantic Records.[4] At the time of its release, Fire It Up didn't get much attention outside of the local Detroit area.[2] However, it was nominated by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors for Best Heavy Metal Album in its Indie Awards in 1994.[5] The album was not offered for sale when Kid Rock's catalog became available on iTunes.[6]
