Travis Barker and Machine Gun Kelly

Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker, have previously worked together on his pop-punk album Tickets to My Downfall. Barker, who is currently dating Kourtney Kardashian, served as the producer for the album as well as being involved in the writing of several songs from the album. The Blink-182 drummer will also serve as executive producer on the upcoming Born with Horns.

While speaking about Barker to RollingStone previously, Machine Gun Kelly said:

Travis showed me the art of not overthinking. There were times I’d walk in, we would plug in instruments, and whatever came out while we were playing would be the song. But then he also showed me that you can completely scrap a whole song, right when you think it’s done, and do it over until it becomes everything it should be. He would answer the phone at 5 a.m. if I called. The studio sessions became cathartic. There was no censorship. He encouraged the raw emotion to come out.
