Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker is prepping his first solo album and he's recruited some top notch hip hop talent to lend a hand.

Over the last couple of years Travis has built a solid rap fan base after remixing songs from Eminem, Soulja Boy and others.

A few of the artists that are scheduled to appear on the album according to Spinner.com are Lil Wayne, RZA, Swizz Beatz and Beanie Sigel.

Travis tells Spinner "I'm not singing or being an MC or anything. Over the last five years, when Blink wasn't around, I played a lot by myself or did a whole bunch of stuff with just me. Whether I was playing with T.I. or doing whatever, it just opened another world for me."

"I just love music. The more I can be around it the better, so with my album it's no one genre. It goes from everything from punk rock to hip-hop to some electro stuff on there to a metal song with Corey Taylor from Slipknot. It's been really fun and interesting up till now.

No word yet on an album title or release date.
