“I’m getting paid to drink whiskey. What part of that is selling out?”

So said Kid Rock during a keynote Q&A session alongside Billboard editorial director Bill Werde today in New York at the Music and Advertising Conference co-sponsored by Billboard and Adweek.

Kid Rock discussed his upcoming album Born Free, went in-depth on his nearly two-year brand partnership with Jim Beam, and talked about the different opportunities the deal has presented him. These include sponsored tour dates and free downloads when fans purchase a bottle of the liquor.

He also touched on the impact that his beer company, American Badass Beer, and clothing line, Made In Detroit, have had on his income.
