Blink-182's Travis Barker announces new joint project with incarcerated rapper 03 Greedo

Travis Barker has teamed up with Los Angeles rapper 03 Greedo, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, to present a new joint EP, Meet the Drummers. With the project set to arrive this Friday, via Alamo, the pair have shared its first single, 'Cellout'.

03 Greedo's saw mainstream success last year, with the release of The Wolf of Grape Street mixtape, followed by his debut studio album, God Level, in June. One month later however, the rapper, born Jason Jamal Jackson, began 20-year sentence for drug trafficking and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Greedo had a reputation as a prolific recording artist before his incarceration, and as such, has been releasing a steady flow of music while he's behind bars - including a full-length album, Still Summer in the Projects, and the Porter 2 Grape EP. His fans have continued to share the hashtag #FreeGreedo since his sentencing.
