Gym Class Heroes’ Travie McCoy is the guest on the newest installment of the Lipps Service podcast, speaking with host Scott Lipps about the group’s in-progress new album with Asa Taccone of Electric Guest, growing up in Geneva, N.Y., time spent on the Vans Warped Tour and being mentored by Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz.
McCoy also covers early music memories with Earth, Wind & Fire, forming Gym Class Heroes, working with T-Pain, a young Bruno Mars and Benny Blanco and stories behind hits such as “Cupid’s Chokehold.” The episode concludes with McCoy’s list of the top five genre-defying artists and his thoughts on the perfect album.
On the previous episode of Lipps Service, Houston, Tx.-reared band Waterparks relayed the progress of their next album, an infamous tattoo misspelling that inspired a new song title and a haunted recording studio experience.
