Travie McCoy has signed to Hopeless Records for the next chapter of his career.

To mark the exciting news, the Gym Class Heroes founder has shared a new single and video, A Spoonful Of Cinnamon, with Travie explaining: "This song sums up my experiences through 2020 and honours people in my life that I had lost.

"There was a moment where I was getting weekly phone calls to tell me people I knew had passed away. I’m bi-polar and being isolated was a strong reason to relapse, but I didn’t, and I made it through. The year gave me a great song to pay tribute to the people I love."

The musician continues of signing to Hopeless: "Being myself and completely transparent throughout my entire career hopefully inspires everyone to do exactly the same. Hopefully all the trials and tribulations that I went through helped pave the way for the next generation."
