DETROIT— Musician Kid Rock announced a new Kid Rock Eminem collaboration today. He hopes the song proves that personal bonds can transcend political divides. The track represents a truce between two of Michigan's loudest cultural exports.
A Duet for America
The upcoming single reportedly features acoustic guitars and aggressive turntable scratches. "We wanted to show the kids that you can disagree on tax policy and still ride jet skis together," said Gordon Flense, Deputy Undersecretary for Things That Were Fine Before. Flense brokered the initial peace talks at a neutral suburban Big Boy restaurant. The Marshall Mathers camp has not yet confirmed if Eminem knows he is on the song.
Critics wonder how the duo will bridge their vastly different worldviews. The upcoming Kid Rock Eminem collaboration tackles this head-on. The lyrics allegedly feature Kid Rock shouting about freedom. Meanwhile, Eminem contributes a rapid-fire verse about his mother and various prescription medications.

Industry insiders remain skeptical of the unity message. "Our data shows that healing the nation through rap-metal has a zero percent success rate," said Dr. Helene Vasquez-Thorne, Lead Researcher at the Center for Studies That Confirm What You Already Suspected. Even so, local fans expressed excitement. They hope the Kid Rock Eminem collaboration leads to a joint tour of state fairs.
At press time, Kid Rock was reportedly spotted trying to teach Eminem how to fly-fish in a giant tank inside a Bass Pro Shops.
