The hip-hop artist known as Lom Rudy is sitting inside of Royal Oak’s Northside Audio studio texting, returning calls, and preparing to hop behind the mic. Dressed in all black and a pair of white Nike Air Force 1s, he’s talking to the studio engineer about a verse for a feature he wants to record and other songs. Over the last 24 months Rudy has been one of the most consistent and creative emcees emerging out of Detroit’s ever evolving hip-hop scene.
