Gym Class Heroes

Travie has started a new blog located at Traviesblog.com. He just started the blog three days ago, but there is already some cool stuff to check out that he’s posted. For one, you can sample a track from Travie’s new side-project Tequila Mockingbird with good friend Nick Scimeca. The track is called “Brooklynbasement” and is definitely more experimental stuff, yet not unlike the laid-back hip-hop of Gym Class Heroes. Travis writes that the song was inspired by living in Luis Logic’s Bushwick basement and that he plans to put out a Tequila Mockingbird EP “really soon”, which should be pretty cool.

Travie’s Blog also features self-filmed videos of himself, including one where he eliminates the trend of keeping your New Era sticker on your cap. I can say that I, for one, never kept the sticker on my cap even when it was “cool”. There’s another video of Travie at the airport with Ax and Boogie on their way to Miami screwing around with his camera. What takes the cake is a friggin’ funny video of some fat kid getting his bicycle tire popped by some skater dude after they get into an argument. Travis promises that if you don’t have a seizure or begin to convulse while watching the video he will deposit 7 cents into your paypal account. While I did laugh, I actually didn’t do either of the two so I will send him an e-mail and see if he is a man of his word.

There’s also a bunch of brand new photos and self-explained captions that Travie has posted over the past few days. There’s one where he purchased a disturbing Michael Jackson lamp and is apparently in love with it and other shots of him drinking and stuff. You should check out Travie’s Blog regularly as it looks like he’ll be updating it often.
