Artist: Lil Wayne; Nas; Rick Ross Engineer: Joshua Berkman; John Haynes; Serban Ghenea; Tim Roberts Producer: Bryan "Birdman" Williams; Slim "Tha Don" Williams Distributor: Universal Distribution 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."
Entertainment Weekly (p.75) - "[A] weirdly infectious debut that mixes his rap-track know-how with his love of guitar-god theatrics." -- Grade: B+
Billboard (p.45) - "[T]he dozen tracks on his solo debut, on which Rudolf plays nearly everything, hew toward the hooky, tuneful and danceable."
Q (Magazine) (p.104) - 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."
