Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp is the third studio album by American rapper Kid Rock and the first to feature his backing band Twisted Brown Trucker. Released on January 9, 1996, by Top Dog Records, the album saw Kid Rock showcasing a more eclectic sound than his previous albums, encompassing funk, hip hop, soul and rock. It was considered the most rock-oriented album he had made at the time[2] and the first to explore his Southern rock influences.[3]
The album is considered to be a further shift in Kid Rock's sound toward rock music, as well as furthering his rap metal sound and shaping the redneck image he would become known for. It "captured the laid back pimp desperado persona that Rock had finally perfected".[4]
