Album Notes Recording information: B.A.M.F. Studios, Miami, FL. A genre-straddling debut from this New York session guitarist turned rock/rap frontman, IN THE CITY splices hip-hop beats to glossy arena rock with multi-tracked guitars and U2- sized choruses. The album's lead single, "In the City," features Rudolph trading lines with Lil' Wayne over seamless `80s-influenced production that splits the difference between Gary Numan's "Cars" and Jefferson Starship's "We Built This City."
Editorial Reviews [A] weirdly infectious debut that mixes his rap-track know-how with his love of guitar-god theatrics. -- Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly
3 stars out of 5 -- Rudolf's sound is his own on an album full of scarf-waving choruses, insistent hooks and surprisingly reflective lyrics. Q
[T]he dozen tracks on his solo debut, on which Rudolf plays nearly everything, hew toward the hooky, tuneful and danceable. Billboard
