Gym Class Heroes chat to I Like Music
February 2007
Travis McCoyfirst met drummer Matt McGinley back in gym class in 1997. Now, along with Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo, and bassist Eric Roberts, they are the Gym Class Heroes - pioneers of live hip hop and genre-busting jams melding rock, rap, hip hop and rnb. There are quite excellent!
On February 12th, Gym Class Heroes released their very dope new single, Cupid's Chokehold featuring Patrick from Fall Out Boy. I Like Music caught up with frontman Travis from as the band finished their UK tour, to talk about originality, Fresh Prince and Amy Winehouse.
"I like music because… it got me out of my sh1tty town."
Travis, GYM CLASS HEROES
ILM: Your new single 'Cupid's Chokehold' is out now. The track tells a story of the eternal quest for true love. So, with Valentines Day this month have each of you found true love or are you still on that quest?
TRAVIS: Yeah, it's a little bit more sorted out than when I first wrote the song.

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
