Gym Class Heroes's Travie McCoy Announces Solo album

03/08/2010
.
Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen recording artist Travie McCoy has announced details of his upcoming new album. "Lazarus" arrives in stores and at all online retailers on June 8th. Album pre-order details, track listing, and other information will be announced shortly via Travie's newly-launched, official website, www.traviemccoy.com.

Known far and wide as the frontman of alternative hip-hop superstars Gym Class Heroes, McCoy's solo debut sees him teaming up with a diverse array of studio superstars for a genre-busting, groundbreaking new collection. Among the contributing producers, writers, and artists are T-Pain, Bruno Mars and the Smeezingtons (B.o.B, Cobra Starship, Flo Rida), Detail (Akon, Lady Gaga), The Stereotypes (Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige), Evan "Kidd" Bogart (Adam Lambert, Beyonce), and Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, 30 Seconds To Mars) & Oligee (Flo Rida, Leighton Meester).

"LAZARUS" is heralded by the first single, "Billionaire"(featuring Bruno Mars), which debuts today at MTV.com. A companion video is currently in pre-production, with a premiere date to be announced shortly. The digital single for "Billionaire" (featuring Bruno Mars) will be available for purchase at all online retailers starting today, March 9.

McCoy is currently poised for his first-ever solo tour, joining Photo Finish recording duo 3OH!3 and Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen labelmates Cobra Starship on the hugely anticipated "Too Fast For Love" tour, presented by MTV. The trek will take off at Milwaukee's Eagles Ballroom on April 28th and then travel North America through mid-June (see attached itinerary). Kicking off all dates will be Photo Finish/Atlantic's own I Fight Dragons.

A select number of the "Too Fast For Love" dates will be part of the second annual "mtvU Movies & Music Festival," a groundbreaking new tour which features the hottest performers and most buzzed-about movies leading up to June's 2010 MTV Movie Awards. Furthermore, McCoy – along with 3OH!3 and Cobra Starship – will be among the star-studded lineup featured at the upcoming Bamboozle Chicago, slated to rock the Windy City on Saturday, May 15th.

As if all that weren't enough, McCoy will hit the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas for a handful of special appearances, including a performance at The Dirty Dog on Friday, March 19th as part of the Crush Management showcase, whose lineup includes Hole, Patrick Stump and others. McCoy is also scheduled for a late-night DJ set at Taco Bell's PureVolume house on Thursday, March 18th, beginning at 1 AM.
