Mccoy Puts Gym Class Heroes Before Solo Career

Rapper TRAVIE McCOY has silenced rumours he's quit Gym Class Heroes to focus on his solo career, insisting the band is already working on its new album.

McCoy recently released his solo disc Lazarus and scored a big hit withthe Bruno Mars-assisted single Billionaire.

His chart success prompted speculation his days with the alternative rockrap group were over - but McCoy is adamant that's far from the case.

He tells AllHipHop.com, "A lot of people really thought that it was a wrap for Gch because I was doing this but that's the furthest from the truth. Gch is and always will be the priority for me. "Since I've been on tour promoting this record, we've been writing for the next Gch record.

Just putting in double duty and working extra on it..".
