Kid Rock has revealed the track listing for his forthcoming Christian album, Halfway to Jesus, and the details push two very different stories into the same frame. The title track features Jimmie Allen, while the album cover carries a parental advisory sticker, a contrast that gives the release an immediate edge beyond ordinary genre news.
That is why the project is drawing attention now. Readers searching for Eminem And Kid Rock are not just looking for a new album title; they are trying to understand why Kid Rock is pairing a Christian release with Jimmie Allen, who was found liable for sexual assault and ordered earlier this summer to pay nearly $2 million in damages. The album reveal turns that contrast into the main story.
The track list matters because it confirms more than one public thread in a single release. Kid Rock and Allen both appeared on the 2023 single No Limits with Austin Mahone and producer Fueled by 8008, which means the new collaboration did not come out of nowhere. But this time the setting is different: Halfway to Jesus is being presented as a Christian album, and Allen’s role comes after a civil case that Rolling Stone reported was filed in 2022 and later led to damages for emotional distress and past and future treatment.
The legal history is what makes the feature hard to read as a simple musical choice. The lawsuit alleged that Allen ejaculated inside a woman without a condom when she did not consent, and also that he filmed the encounter without her consent. Allen denied both allegations in court, but a judge later ordered him to pay money to the accuser. Against that background, his appearance on the title track is likely to overshadow whatever musical part he plays on it.
Kid Rock is also using the album to fold Eminem into the story without putting him on the track list. Complex reported that he wrote in the foreword that he was proud of the guests who joined him, especially his old friend Eminem, and said the two differ politically and on other things but have stayed friends through it all. That line does not make Eminem a featured artist on the album, but it does place him inside the project’s framing.
So the immediate answer is simple: Jimmie Allen is the featured guest on the title track, while Eminem is mentioned in the foreword rather than listed on a song. Kid Rock has not said much more about the album beyond a brief Instagram post, leaving the release to speak through its contradictions — a Christian record, a parental advisory sticker, a collaborator with a recent sexual assault liability finding, and a name-check to one of his oldest public friendships.
Kid Rock also teased the song JAMES 1:17 (Jesus Is King) in an accompanying video, where he said he had been locked up in cages and that his sins became contagious before adding that, when he got right with Jesus Christ, he found things that money can’t buy. The official video for that song was set to premiere later that night, making the new track listing less of a tease than a full statement of how he wants the album to be heard.
