What's up with the 'Travie' moniker?

So is he doing this while working on new Gym Class or are they on a break?

Break.

I like the song. Good summer tuneage.

And I'm guessing he couldn't sign to Nappy Boy officially because of GCH's deal with FBR/Decaydance. He's on their mixtape and T-Pain's all over his blog, so I think there's a relationship there somewhere with the label.

Song isn't that bad. Will definitely be spinning it on the beach this summer.

I had no idea, I never really heard much of the last GCH release so I was hoping to hear something about a new one.

Not bad, but not my type. As someone stated above, it's definitely fit to be a summer jam.

maybe the fact that he has been called Travie since before GCH even existed :shrug:

Decent song... I don't think it will pick up with the mainstream audience though.

Seriously? Man, I really don't pay attention to those guys, I guess. I thought it was Travis. Hmm.

But according to McCoy, there's nothing to fear. Because while, yes, he's currently working on his solo debut — an album called The Lazarus Project — he's not slacking on his Gym Class duties either. Far from it, in fact.

...we've already started demo-ing for the new Gym Class record, PCC II. I won't get into what that acronym stands for, but anybody that's followed GCH for a while knows what I'm talking about.

"We're about 12 demos deep," he continued. "All I got to say is it's definitely going back to the essence of Gym Class Heroes, which is four dudes sitting in a room, vibing off each other and making organic, dark metal."
