Gym Class Heroes

Producer Omen is set to release an album called “Be the Judge”. He has just released one track, which will be appearing on the album titled “Overdose on Life”. The joint features MC’s Mickey Factz from the Bronx, Drake from Toronto and Travie from halfway in-between. It’s a hype track with a crazy synth beat, and definitely progressive. Travis is as lyrical as I have ever heard him and he is definitely in some good company. Mickey has quite a buzz around him I have noticed, with lots of hype on his Myspace and on Youtube and some collaborations with the likes of N.E.R.D. and Nalege of Kidz in the Hall. Look out for this dude. Drake is very well-known around these parts as well. I’m from Toronto and I actually heard a rumor that Drake was working with Dr. Dre, ghostwriting for possible material on the upcoming Detox album. Not sure how accurate that is, but I could definitely see it as a possibility simply because the dude has a nice flow. A lot of people recognize him as being a star in the new Degrassi series as well, though he has a lot of videos that get played on Much Music up here as well.

I checked out the track on Travie’s blog, which you can get to by clicking here. He just posted it on there a couple of days ago, though I know you can find it all over the web. Mickey Factz also has it on his Myspace page, which you can link to here.
