Matthew Shafer (born June 6, 1974), known professionally as Uncle Kracker, is an American singer, rapper, and musician focusing on country rock, pop rock, rap rock, and country rap. Throughout the 1990s, Kracker was a protégé of Kid Rock and even played some instruments for Kid Rock, but he did not break out on his own until 2000's Double Wide, which produced his debut single "Follow Me". His second album, No Stranger to Shame, accounted for his biggest hit in a cover of Dobie Gray's "Drift Away", with which he set a record for the longest run at #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Outside a guest appearance on Kenny Chesney's 2004 chart-topper "When the Sun Goes Down", Kracker was relatively quiet until 2009 (thanks in part to his next album spending forever in Development Hell), when his career caught fire again with "Smile", a crossover hit that went Top 40 at pop, and Top 10 at both AC and country. Ever since he has focused mainly on country-rock albums. | |

Genre Roulette | |
| Uncle Kracker (Music) / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: Alternative rock, rap rock, and country-rock. His work since about 2009 suggests that he's trying to make country his primary genre. | |

Singer Namedrop | |
| Uncle Kracker (Music) / int_73fa8db | comment |
Singer Name Drop: The fadeout of "When the Sun Goes Down" has Kracker and Chesney ad-libbing lines about each other, including "Uncle Kenny's hotter when the sun goes down" and "She thinks Kracker's sexy" (which also doubles as a Shout-Out to Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"). | |

Cheap Heat: "Smile" changes the line "Spinnin' like a record, crazy on a Sunday night" to name-drop the station playing the song. | |
