Travie McCoy

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Travie McCoy. This summer heralded Gym Class Heroes’ “Universal Language,” doubling as their first music since 2011’s The Papercut Chronicles II and a taste of their upcoming album. Quickly, news of their Back to Basics tour with Lupe Fiasco followed, which kicks off in September. Before heading out on the road, McCoy stopped by the Artist Friendly studio to talk about his journey through addiction and recovery, the legacy of Gym Class Heroes, and how creativity helped him find purpose both on and off the stage.------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!
