Country duo releases Fourth of July anthem, 'We're proud of the flag'

foxnews.com:

If you're looking for an edgier song about America to blast on the Fourth of July, then Colt Ford and Krizz Kaliko might have the answer for you.

Ford, a country artist who sings and raps, and Kaliko, a hip hop artist who mixes rapping with a variety of other genres, have joined forces to create a new group called Hoodbillies, and their debut song is called "Bad A-- American." In a conversation with Fox News Digital, the pair discussed how the song came to be and why they think it's important to celebrate America.

The whole project began, Kaliko explained, because someone told him that when he entered a room, he "walked like a bada--." He'd already been talking to Ford about collaborating, but that comment gave him some inspiration to move things forward. "I know that a lot of our fan base, our joint fan base definitely are proud Americans," he said. "You know what I'm saying?

And he talks about it a lot, I talk about it a lot. And so… it just hit me. I was thinking like, ‘I want this guitar riff to sound a certain way.’ And man, I thought about walking in like a bad a--, bad a-- American." Ford added, "We just wanted to do something positive and fun and let people know, like, it's OK to be a bad a-- American.
