Uncle Kracker (born Matthew Shafer 9 November 1974 in Mount Clemens, Michigan) is an American rock and roll and country music musician.
He started out his career at a young age as a fledgling rapper. He met Kid Rock in 1987, and Rock asked Kracker to become his DJ. Kracker did not know how to work the turntables, but he soon learned how to, and he became a long-term friend and colleague of Rock.
Kracker worked with Kid Rock until he became a solo artist in 2000. Read more on Last.fm
Before he made it big singing catchy radio rock and pop country (which he’s also pretty good at), he was Kid Rocks DJ and fellow MC. Here, on this lost gem, he deftly mixes old school hip hop, funk, soul, country and hard rock to create a mixed bag of goodies that ALL surprisingly work. This is one of those lost epics that nobody heard and that everyone should. Buy it.
