Product Description

Featuring the SMASH HIT "Let It Rock" (featuring Lil Wayne), IN THE CITY's overall concept is the theme from every great story - finding yourself by deciding who you want to be. Kevin shares, "The album's story is about me growing up in NYC when the city was wild...when it felt like there were no rules and you could be anyone you wanted. That is the landscape of this album." Album concept further encompasses searching for meaning in "Gimmie a Sign" lyrics: "I asked for a wise man to make me wise, he said son the answers contained inside. I choked on the fortune but I feel fine." Throughout the album, Kevin embraces rebellion, saying f*ck you to a world which tries to control us, doesn't allow each of us to be ourselves. From the beginning note to the final track IN THE CITY steadily demonstrates the battle of finding ultimate self-understanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice change of pace, November 27, 2008

This review is from: In The City [Explicit] (MP3 Download)

Well, if you like "Let it rock" you will like about 3 songs on this Cd including that. This CD has 4 really good songs, IN THE CITY, LET IT ROCK, N.Y.C., WELCOME TO THE WORLD. This CD is half rock/rap/techno, and the other half is slower chill songs. I was hoping for more club bangers like LET IT ROCK but N.Y.C is pretty close. All in all I dont regret buying this CD the hip/hop/techno tracks on here are tight and hopefully more artists bank on that in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely underrated CD, December 29, 2009

This review is from: In The City (Audio CD)

Kevin Rudolf isn't really a well-known singer (except for Let It Rock) but his music is awesome. I saw him live and he was good. Many people automatically hate the CD because it's considered rock, but most of the songs on it are rock so i'm not sure what those people are talking about.

1. In the City - 10/10 one of the best
2. Let It Rock ft. Lil Wayne - 11/10 easily best on the album, very catchy
3. I Song - 9.5/10
4. Livin It Up - 9.5/10
5. N.Y.C. ft. Nas - 9.5/10
6. No Way Out - 9/10
7. Scarred - 9/10
8. Welcome to the World ft. Rick Ross - 10/10 one of the best
9. Coffee and Donuts - 7/10 my least favorite
10. She Can Get It - 10/10 one of my favorites
11. Gimme a Sign - 8/10
12. Great Escape - 8/10 too long
13. Without You (bonus) - 8.5/10

If you like "Let It Rock" and "In the City," you'll love the rest of this album as well! The funky basslines and melodies, catchy lyrics, and pure fun of Kevin Rudolf's first CD make it appealing to a wide range of age groups and musical tastes. I've probably listened to this CD a dozen times since I bought it three weeks ago, and I have more than 1,500 albums in my collection waiting to distract me. Whether you're in the mood for some dancin' or just want to rock out in your car, I highly recommend picking up this great album...
