Recording artist Travis McCoy has announced details of his upcoming new album titled Lazarus which will arrive in stores and at all online retailers on June 8th.
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) and Oligee (Flo Rida, Leighton Meester).
Lazarus is heralded by the first single, Billionaire (feat. Bruno Mars). A companion video is currently in pre-production, with a premiere date to be announced shortly.
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.
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 19 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 18.
