Fire It Up is an EP released by Kid Rock in 1993.
Fire It Up was released in December 1993, under the indie label Continuum Records. It appeared initially on cassette, compact disc, and on 7" vinyl. Described as being "heavy metal-leaning", Fire It Up featured an early version of the song "I Am the Bullgod", which was later rerecorded for his 1998 hit album Devil Without a Cause, with a new vocal track and modified lyrics. Also included on Fire It Up was Kid Rock's first foray into country music with his cover of Hank Williams Jr.'s "A Country Boy Can Survive".
Following the success of Devil Without A Cause, Kid Rock purchased the rights to Fire It Up and licensed them to Atlantic Records.
At the time of its release, Fire It Up didn't get much attention outside of the local Detroit area. However, it was nominated by the National Association of Independent Record Distributors for Best Heavy Metal Album in its Indie Awards in 1994.Rolling Stone would later give the EP 2 out of 5 stars.
