Travis Barker of Blink 182, Plus 44, The Transplants and countless hip hop remixes, has announced plans to release his solo album in June. He mentioned it on his Twitter. First announced last year, the solo album is also expected to include a variety of sounds. He told MTV about the sound last year:
There’s some stuff on my record that’s not going to have a bunch of guitars, that are just straight-up hip hop records. Everything’s going be real different. It’s going to be really well-rounded. We got a new Blink song on there, I think I’m going to do something with Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. Hopefully a guest appearance from Slash, I’m doing his big fundraiser that happens this month. I think there’s going to be a collaboration with [Kanye West’s touring DJ] A-Track, so it’s gonna be really in all directions.
