Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy will release his debut solo album Lazarus through Atlantic Records on August 9th, with the first single Billionaire available on July 26th.

Already a number one hit in the US, the single Billionaire features Bruno Mars who also lent his voice B.o.B’s global smash hit Nothin’ on You.

The feel good single is already being well supported by the UK media with Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills making Billionaire his Record of the Week while the video is VIP Track of the Week on The Box.

Known far and wide as part of alternative Hip-Hop superstars Gym Class Heroes, McCoy’s solo debut sees him teaming up with a diverse roster of talent for a genre-busting, groundbreaking new collection of tracks on the album Lazarus.

Among the contributing producers, writers, and artists are Cee Lo Green, T-Pain, Bruno Mars and the Smeezingtons (B.o.B, Cobra Starship, Flo Rida), Colin Munroe, Young Cash, Tim William, Detail (Akon, Lady Gaga), The Stereotypes (Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige), Evan “Kidd” Bogart (Adam Lambert, Beyonce), and Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, 30 Seconds To Mars),  Oligee (Flo Rida, Leighton Meester) & Lucas Secon (Pixie Lott, Sean Paul, The Cab).

This summer, McCoy joins Rihanna on her hugely anticipated Last Girl On Earth Tour (United States) set to hit the road on July 2.  The trek also features special guest Ke$ha.  This comes just after he recently wrapped up his first-ever solo tour accompanying Photo Finish recording duo 3OH!3 and Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen label mates Cobra Starship on the epic “Too Fast For Love” tour, presented by MTV.

McCoy and Gym Class Heroes are currently writing material for a new album, due out next year.
