Quite a big promise to uphold but something that the US's latest export Kevin Rudolf manages to do with his debut single 'Let it Rock' featuring 'the best rapper alive' Lil Wayne (pictured). Produced and written by Kev himself, this foot stomping, head-bopping (whilst wearing baggy 'pants' that do indeed show your pants) track has already had more than 27m plays on his MySpace while the video has been watched over 6m times on YouTube.

Ruldolf has been touted as the new Timbaland and is currently just about as popular Stateside as Barack Obama! Well almost. And who knows, he may well live in a White House - who cares if it's in Florida? And to prove the point entirely, 'Let it Rock' is apparently Lindsay Lohan's favorite song, and who are we to disagree with Li-Lo? She's hot and we don't belong to PETA.

 

In the words of Jimmy Cranky, this track is fandabidozee and I can't wait for the album released next year. Daft Punk meets Dr Dre (what a dinner date that would be (I hope my invite is in the post), 'Let It Rock' will appeal to just about everyone, even though I suspect some would never admit it.
