Kevin Rudolf

'In-demand Miami producer/guitarist Kevin Rudolf bolts his way to a No. 5 Billboard Hot 100 debut with "Let It Rock," employing the year's most bankable rapper, Lil Wayne. The adrenaline kicker screeches sex appeal on strings and bangs with a catchy hook worthy of a club blowout or big stadium game, boasting equal parts electro, pop and hip-hop.' Billboard Magazine
Kevin Rudolf's debut single 'Let It Rock' featuring Lil Wayne is a red hot Stateside hit on the world's most exciting imprint, Cash Money Records.
'Let It Rock' is a rock song with hip hop swagger or a hip hop song that parties like a rock star. Either way it's a club banger, featuring the spaced-out rap of Cash Money Records CEO and the biggest new star in America Lil Wayne.
'Yeah! Wayne's World/ Planet Rock/ Panties drop/ And the tops' is a selection of the two typically funny, surreal verses contributed by 'the best rapper alive'.
'Let it Rock' is shaping up to be a mega-hit in the States and the definitive rock/rap crossover moment of the year. Go to youtube to watch Lil Wayne with a Gibson SG slung around his neck rocking and shocking out. The video has been watched over 6 million times.
Currently at No.4 in the US Billboard charts, it is one of the fastest climbing tracks in the US selling over 80,000 downloads a week. Perez Hilton has called the track 'the jam', while Lindsay Lohan has blogged on her myspace that she's into it and wants to write with Mr. Rudolf.
Kevin himself has kept his profile shadowy, leaving pictures off his myspace page; where 'Let It Rock' has had a gob-smacking 26,000,000 plays and counting. Having come up after a friend introduced him to Timbaland, he started hanging out at the studio lending his guitar riffs to hits like Nelly Furtado's 'Say It Right', Lil Kim's 'The Jump Off' and Timbaland's 'Scream'.
In January 07 he met Cash Money CEO Ronald 'Slim' Williams at New York's Hit Factory Studio, who offered him a record deal after hearing his own tracks. With the US taken by storm by this cross-genre stomper and the UK soon to follow, that call is looking good.
