Yesterday Travis began filming the first video “Carry It” off his solo album Give The Drummer Some. MTV caught up with Trav on the set and he had this to say on the record.

“The song started with RZA and I in my studio, with him playing guitars and me playing drums, just jamming out,” Barker explained. “Then I got Raekwon on it, and I showed it to Tom Morello, who was stoked on it, so he played on it. And that’s how I wanted the video to be.There was never any corny ideas [for the video],” Barker smiled. “[It's] just us rocking out. That’s what’s good about it. The track’s raw; it’s not candy-coated. … This is like ‘punch you in the face,’ real hype music.”

Our union is positive no matter what people say or what people think, time will tell everything and you know, silence is the best thing. We just keep it private and we do our thing and just have fun with it.”

On the professional side of things, Swizz told Miss Info that he didn’t play a role in AK parting ways with former manager, Jeff Robinson.

“I’m too busy to fire anybody. I’m wrapping up my album, plus both Lenny Kravitz and Coldplay projects. Also, people need to just accept change.”
