Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker has revealed that the band are set to release a track featuring late emo-rap pioneer, Juice Wrld.
Barker detailed the collaboration in conversation with MTV and Barker’s DTA signee jxdn.
“I tell Travis this all the time, but Juice WRLD, that’s my dream collaboration,” Jxdn shared. “I know he’s made a lot of music and you know, obviously, he can’t make it the same as he would before but that’s just something that I would always dream of, even if it was an old song he recorded.”
Barker went on to detail that a collaboration between Juice and Blink-182 os set to arrive soon. “There’s a Blink [and] Juice collaboration that hasn’t come out yet but it’s about to,” he shared. “I think it’ll come out on a Blink project and through Andrew Watts solo project.”
Travis Barker went on to call the collaboration, “amazing”, adding that he’s thrilled that there is going to be “more Juice music that’s gonna be released.”
Barker also revealed that Blink are gearing up to release a new song called ‘Quarantine’ ahead of the band’s forthcoming EP release. “There’s a song called ‘Quarantine’ that’s gonna come out really, really soon,” he shared. “It’ll be a Blink favourite. It’ll be like all our fan favourites. It’s incredible.”
Last month, South Sydney rapper The Kid LAROI released ‘Go’, a collaboration with Juice WRLD.
