Gym Class Heroes

Travie recently posted a couple of videos on his blog that features him and his great musical inspiration Daryl Hall collaborating on material for the upcoming Gym Class album. The collaboration comes in due time for Travie, who has been an openly huge Hall & Oats fan and admits the ’80’s duo is a huge influene on him and the rest of GCH. After GCH had pretty much a monster year in 2007, other artists seem to be jumping at the chance to collaborate with the guys for their upcoming album, which is sure to break sales for any GCH album yet. The recent months has seen GCH not only work with Daryl Hall but also Busta Rhymes, Ghostface Killah and Will.I.Am. In one of the Travie-Daryl videos, which I’ve embedded below, shows Travie and Daryl goofing off while the other shows Travie, Daryl and T-Bone in the studio collaborating on a track for the upcoming GCH record. Sounds like a pretty cool collaboration from what you can hear on the video, and Travie being a huge fan of Daryl Hall, this must be a pinnacle point in his career.

Here is the experience in Travie’s own words, as it says on his blog:
Has there ever been ONE person you’d chop your left pinky off to meet ??? Just to pick there head and let them know how much you admire them and how much they, without knowing, made a huge impression on the person you are today..well, i have both of my pinky’s attatched but i’ll be damned if i did’nt hang out with a couple legends to day…i don’t think i could ask for anything more out of life..today marks the crossing off number one on my list of things to do before i kick the bucket…SPEECHLESS!!!
