Yap, Travie McCoy sang vokalis dari Gym Class Heroes ini akan mengeluarkan proyek solonya yang diberi titel sesuai nama tengahnya dia yaitu “Lazarus” dimana yang menangani album ini adalah nama-nama yang mempunyai kualitas yang mantap di dunia hip-hop dan juga nama-nama beken lainnya seperti T-Pain, Bruno Mars, Patrick Stump, Danger Mouse, Cool & Dre, Detail, The Stereotypes
Dia mengeluarkan single pertamanya ini, “Billionaire” yang dinyanyikan bareng bersama Bruno Mars dan hasil akhir single ini enak banget dimana openingya dibuka oleh Bruno Mars diiringi gitar dan juga tabuhan gendang, suara Bruno Mars disini mengingatkan kita dengan Jason Mraz di “I’m Yours”. Beat lagu ini bisa dikatakan dari genre reggae. Rapping Travie McCoy juga mantap. Lagunya sendiri juga bagus dan bisa cepet diterima oleh telinga.
Bagian reffnya juga benar-benar bagus dimana beat lagunya dan cara Bruno Mars nyanyi bisa klop. Temanya sendiri barangkali tema yang umum tentang seseorang yang sedang berkhayal menjadi seorang milyuner. Hooknya juga bagus. Lirik yang paling saya suka disini adalah “I wanna be a cover of Forbes Magazine” dimana Forbes sendiri memang majalah yang menampilkan muka milyuner di setiap edisinya. Overall, secara personal saya menyukai lagu ini karena beatnya unik, gak biasa dan temanya sendiri cukup umum. Salut buat Bruno Mars juga yang mampu menciptakan sentuhan yang luar biasa di lagu ini (dan juga pada lagu B.o.B yang “Nothin’ On You”). Bagaimana dengan pendapat kamu tentang lagu ini?

Lyrics:
Bruno Mars
I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes Magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes Magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights, yeaaah
A different city every night oh I swear
The world better prepare for when I’m a billionaire
I see my name in shining lights, yeaaah
A different city every night oh I swear
The world better prepare for when I’m a billionaire
Travie McCoy
Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of
Everyday Christmas give Travie a wish list
I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
and adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh!t
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
It’s been a couple months since I’ve single so
You can call me Travie Claus minus the ho-ho
Get it, I’d probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah can’t forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music
Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of
Everyday Christmas give Travie a wish list
I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
and adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh!t
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
It’s been a couple months since I’ve single so
You can call me Travie Claus minus the ho-ho
Get it, I’d probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah can’t forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music
Bruno Mars

A different city every night oh I swear
The world better prepare for when I’m a billionaire

I’ll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Senator … his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twenty’s …completely separate
I’ll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Senator … his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twenty’s …completely separate
And yeah I’ll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I’ll probably take whatever left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me
Would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I’ll probably take whatever left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me
Would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing
Bruno Mars
