Miami songwriter-producer Kevin Rudolf is the first rocker signed to Cash Money Records, and he's already making money for his New Orleans hip-hop bosses: His single "Let It Rock," an arena-ready electro jam with a fine cameo from labelmate Lil Wayne, has blown up on pop radio. Unfortunately, the rest of Rudolf's self-produced debut is a middling rock record dressed up in sleek digital clothes. Rudolf hitches stomping, synth-packed grooves to lyrics so lazy you want to prod them with a stick: "I can take you higher" is one of the many platitudes that riddle In the City. Maybe Lil Wayne can help here?
