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]
