Yelawolf & Travis Barker Explain Chemistry & Linking Up For “Psycho White” EP

    Yelawolf and Travis Barker’s oft-discussed project Psycho White seemingly came out of the blue. But, the way the two artists tell it to Billboard, coming together to record was a gradual process.

    Barker explained that he was introduced to Yelawolf’s Trunk Muzik through Barker’s manager. “He said, ‘Check this kid out. He looks like you but he’s a rapper,'” recalled Barker. “I thought he was fucking ridiculous.”

    Shortly thereafter, the two met at Rob Drydek’s Fantasy Factory in Los Angeles. Yelawolf later linked with Barker on Lil Wayne’s 2009 “I Am Music” tour, “[Yelawolf] said he wanted a real high-energy track. It was 4 a.m., and everyone was getting sloppy in the hotel lobby,” said Barker. “I had a portable studio. I went to my room and right there recorded the drums to [‘Psycho White’s’ first single] ‘Push ‘Em.'”

    Yelawolf explained that he and Barker had instant chemistry. “Even if he and I had never heard each other’s music before, we just knew,” he says. “We had a kindred vision.””

    1. im glad that happend they ep is sick from what i have heard yelawolf is back to the style everybody loves like on the trunk music 0-60 that ish is a classic!!

    2. LOL what a joke.

      yelawolf is an emo pussy that signed with interscope and cried when he flopped. travis barker is the gay dude that can’t drum for shit that made a video running around naked for a boy band with guitars. he covers rap songs cuz he can’t play. he’s a hack.

      i used to confused yelahoof with travis barker. both are tatted up wiggers that look like meth heads. both are huge posers. both need to shut the fuck up and go away. rap stinks now.

      1. exactly, what talent have you brought to music to judge. If they are trash then what does that make you? Nothing.
