Eminem<\/a> is standing by his decision to appear on Kid Rock\u2019s new Christian music album, Halfway 2 Jesus<\/a>. In a social media post marking the album\u2019s release, the rapper wrote, \u201cNot about choosing sides, just choosing to make music with my old friend. Praying for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rapper guests on a track called \u201cHeal My Faith,\u201d<\/a> in which he traces his decades-long history with Kid Rock and expresses hope that their friendship can inspire others to put aside their differences: \u201cHe is my brother, not my political enemy\/ B.O. to the B., we wrote this for those who believe\/ In G.O. to the D, however you voted or lean\/ Liberal and evangelical can agree\/ It\u2019s God first, home of the free,\u201d Eminem raps.<\/p>\n

Kid Rock made a similar declaration in a foreword for the album, writing, \u201cI\u2019m proud of the guests who joined me, especially my old friend Eminem. His verse speaks to something we\u2019ve talked about and that really needs to be heard: we differ politically and on other things, but we\u2019ve stayed friends through it all . . . We hope that sets an example for people who\u2019ve lost friends or stopped talking to family because they think differently.\u201d<\/p>\n
