| August 29/08 | Travis Barker Joines DJ AM To Help 'Fix Your Face' | 
| Travis Barker continues to expand his resume. Already the former drummer for Blink-182, the Aquabats, +44 and Box Car Racer, Barker now is entering the world of hip-hop. Barker told the L.A. Times "I thought, 'If I want my remixes to be popular, if I want people to even know I'm doing them, maybe I should use YouTube," so last Setember Barker posted a video [watch here] of himself pounding the drums remixing Soulja Boy's "Crank That" and later Rihanna's "Umbrella" [listen here], Busta Rhymes' "Don't Touch Me" [watch here], The Game's "Dope Boys" [watch here], Flo Rida's "Low" [watch here], and Wale's "G Told Me."
Now Barker has teamed up with DJ AM to bring the world the new duo TRV$DJAM. Travis Barker & DJ AM recently put out a FREE mixtape called "Fix Your Face" [download it here]. "We got together, I threw on James Brown's 'Funky Drummer,' one of the most sampled beats in hip-hop, and 'I Know You Got Soul' by Bobby Byrd. His face would just open up; he would match the beat perfectly. I thought, 'Damn, this is fun.' It's like a skeleton you get to put the clothes on. And once the clothes are on, you yank out the spine" DJ AM said. Check out their site @ www.trvsdjam.com
Barker is currently producing his solo album (due out next year) that is reported to include Damian Marley and Willie Nelson plus between six and eight rock remixes.

the ring tone.”

| On his promotional tour for his new album L.A.X., The Game recently stopped by Hot 106.3 to do an interview. The Game spoke about a future mixtape with former G-Unit member Young Buck saying "look forward to
the mixtapes. The mixtapes are nothing, we gonna do that, and we gonna
do a lot of other stuff in the near future.” Game said, continuing "We’re doing a couple
little appearances coming up.” Game explained he was always closest to Buck when it came to G-Unit saying “I never really spoke to 50 [Cent] a lot. I never talked to Tony
Yayo—and only spoke to [Lloyd] Banks in passing, man."
Game spoke about his track "Dope Boys" [watch / listen here] and how he got with Travis Barker to do the track saying “Crazy, man, ‘cause Travis Barker don’t live far from me man. [He] lives around the corner and I got the track ‘Dope Boys’ and I’m like, ‘This track is like some drums away from being sick’ man, and I kept listening to it,” he explained. “He killed it, man. He listened to the song twice and then he just went in.” [watch / listen here]
