NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Universal Republic Records) - In celebration of Cash Money/Universal Republic Records' breakthrough star
Kevin Rudolf's first headlining Tour, The Let It Rock Tour, produced by Live Nation, which kicks off April 3rd in Nashville, TN,
Kevin has teamed up with Metropark for the much-buzzed about 'Livin' It Up' Flyaway Contest.
Sponsored by trend-setting lifestyle destination Metropark, in affiliation with Gibson Guitar, Logic Wireless, and imeem, the exclusive promotion will send one Lucky Winner on a special trip for 2 to the stomping grounds of noted hip hop imprint Cash Money Records, headquartered in Miami, FLA, (Kevin was born in NYC and raised in Miami) where the artist will take time out from his non-stop touring regimen to escort the winner and guest to his favorite hometown spots. This 'Livin' It Up' Grand Prize will include a drop-in visit to the actual recording studio where Kevin and other Cash Money superstars record all their hits. In addition, Kevin will present the winner with an Autographed Ebony Gibson Melody Maker Guitar, a Logic Bolt 1.0 Projector Phone and take the winner on a $1000 shopping spree at the Miami Metropark store. The contest begins on Thursday March 26th at https://www.livenation.com/kevinrudolf.
The groundbreaking chart topper continues to reign as music's most touted genre-defying newcomer, propelled by the blazing multi-platform success of his global anthem 'Let It Rock,' which reached Top 5 heights in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and Germany, among other territories. The charismatic singer/songwriter/producer is enjoying continued success with his scorching new single 'Welcome to the World." Kevin will be performing both songs on the 25 city roll-out, showcasing his entire arsenal of hits from his acclaimed debut album IN THE CITY on his first major headlining, cross-country trek. The Let It Rock Tour will feature a host of trailblazing artists on the bill, including Hyper Crush, New Jersey rockers Cash Cash, punk/funksters The Audition, and Nebraska pop band Go Crash Audio. Myspace phenomenon Jeremy Greene has also just been added to what many music forecasters are calling the most cutting edge live jaunt of 2009, so far.
The multi-talented artist will bring his arena-ready electro-rock to American concert venues armed with one of the biggest multiple-format radio hits in recent memory - the explosive "Let It Rock" - the first single from his Cash Money/Universal Republic debut album, IN THE CITY. The defiant, synth-fueled anthem, boosted by a snarling cameo from multiple-Grammy winning hip hop legend and label mate Lil Wayne, has been leading the rock/rap charge since its release in the second half of 2008. Hailed for its stirring blend of influences, (its cross-cultural appeal is evident in its use as one of HBO's most popular 2009 music choices for their 'It's Not TV - It's HBO' promo, and its placement as the theme to the WWE's 2009 Royal Rumble) Entertainment Weekly calls 'Let It Rock,' an 'infectious debut that mixes his rap-track know-how with his love of guitar-god theatrics,' with People Magazine praising IN THE CITY as 'a place where rock coexists with dance, pop, intermingling with hip hop.' The dazzling call-to-arms has emerged as a multi-platform phenomenon, becoming one of the top selling digital singles, logging 3 million downloads on iTunes, buoyed by a mesmerizing video also featuring Lil Wayne and directed by Justin Francis, (Eminem, Alicia Keys, 50 Cent), and currently nearing the 2 million views milestone on youtube.
