Tyga and Travis Barker have reportedly been in the studio working on a new EP.

Tyga has been working on some new music and according to TMZ, Travis Barker is involved. Over the weekend Tyga was seen heading into Barker's studio, a sight which has apparently happened pretty frequently in recent weeks. Various sources say that the pair are working on a new EP together. While they haven't formally announced anything it's expected to arrive sometime this summer. The pair have teamed up before in the past. Barker's 2015 song "100" featured Tyga alongside a number of other rappers.

The pair have been finding time to collab despite each having a busy schedule recently. Just a few days ago Tyga released "West Coast Weekend" a tribute to California alongside rappers YG and Blxst. That song followed his new single "Day One" which dropped last month. Barker on the other hand has been performing as part of the reunited Blink-182 lineup. The trio made their surprise return in April at Coachella. During weekend two they were elevated to the main stage after weekend one headliner Frank Ocean dropped out.

Tyga And Travis Barker Are Cooking

Tyga and Travis Barker also have a family connection, albeit a loose one. Last year Travis Barker married Kourtney Kardashian. A long time before that Tyga used to date Kylie Jenner. Now he's following in the footsteps of other rappers and collaborating with Barker on new music. In the past few years he's worked with artists like Machine Gun Kelly, Trippie Redd, XXXTENTACION, and Lil Nas X. Barker produced the MGK and Blackbear collaboration "My Ex's Best Friend" has gone two times platinum.

During the rehearsals for their surprise Coachella performance, there was trouble for Travis Barker. A crazed fan tried to gain entry to his gated community by driving her car through the gate. Thankfully, she was apprehended by security quickly but the story still drew attention following some other high-profile celebrity stalking incidents earlier this year. It was more trouble for Barker, who had a scary medical crisis earlier this year. Are you excited about Tyga and Travis Barker's EP later this year? Let us know in the comments below.
