Travis Barker - Jump Down
Artist: Travis Barker
Featuring: The Cool Kids
Producer: Travis Barker and Chuck Inglish
Album: Give The Drummer Some
Label: Interscope
If you weren’t a homeroom lounging, milk carton drinking middle schooler ten years ago, then you don’t know how big Blink-182 was at the turn of the century. They were the answer to boy bands and girl pop before Eminem stepped up and swiftly embodied the ‘hip-hop’ trend in white suburbia. The most talented artist in the band, drummer Travis Barker, is now continuing to make his way deep into the world of hip-hop (successfully, I might add), with his lead single and first solo Booth feature Jump Down. On Jump Down Barker plays the Carlos Santana role, providing the record with some of his peerless percussion as well as co-producing it with Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids fame. Speaking of which, the Kids give Jump Down its vocal touch, laying down more of the cleverly subdued bars they’ve become known for. While some purists may find fault with the rock-rap hybrid, those with more open minds, and ears, will want to keep an eye out for Barker’s upcoming album, Give the Drummer Some, due out sometime near the end of the year.

Who knew Barker could step into the hip hop production ring and thrive? Well, thrive might be getting a little ahead of things, but that is where he is headed. No doubt.

Chuck and Travis' styles, come to think of it, are an obvious compliment to each other. I really enjoyed the percussion heavy production, and although the verses were a bit monotone it all worked out pretty well.

I think I speak for a lot of hip-hop heads when I say I was wary when Barker started getting into hip-hop, but from his work with T.I. to this new solo project, the man's got beats. In fact, this is actually one of my favorite Cool Kids tracks to drop in a minute. Real head nodding ish.

This is the sort of song you want to light a blunt to, I love the Cool Kids experimental side.

What was the point of Travis getting on this track if it's not gonna be a monster-mash-spazzy track? Too laid back. An 8th grade drummer could do this.

Will be used in the gym and will be put in the rotation playlist. I doubt the tracks 'lastability' though. Can see it getting a bit annoying, much like a lot of Cool Kids' tracks.
