Travie McCoy, the frontman for Gym Class Heroes and now solo artist, is a busy dude. He's readying his new album, Lazarus, for a June 8 release; he's got an underground single with Ke$ha ("Want U Bad") and a real one, "Billionaire" with Bruno Mars, pinging around the solar system. Plus, he's preparing to head out on his Too Fast For Love tour with Cobra Starship and 3Oh!3.
So with all that in mind we thought it would be best to sit down with Travie and have him give us the lay of what's going on in Travieland, as it were. In the below interview clips you'll hear all about the sound of Lazarus and meaning behind the album title. But most importantly, McCoy discusses his infatuation with the '80s pop-soul duo, Hall & Oates.
Dude really likes Hall & Oates. Like, he has the Private Eyes album cover tattooed on his hands. That's dedication.
