Only 400 players have been made, according to XXL, and the former Blink-182 drummer has been giving out some of them to other artists, like Rick Ross, The Game and collaborator Pharrell Williams. (Barker has remixed Pharrell material in the past and, in 2002, he appeared in the video for "Provider" by Pharrell's N.E.R.D. project.)
According to XXL, Barker recently held a release party for the i931 Ghettoblaster in Hollywood with DJ Spider. Shortly after the shindig, limited-edition music player reportedly sold out at Barker's boutique store in California. The damned thing has since been going on eBay for upward of $600, the mag says.
Also pictured below with one of the Ghettoblasters is legendary old-school skater Christian Hosoi and fellow skater Brian Sumner.
In other Barker news, the tatted drummer – who has previously remixed songs by Rihanna, Flo Rida and others – has been working on a new version of "Big Dreams," a new Cool & Dre-produced street slice by The Game, XXL reports. He's also reportedly set to produce songs for Paul Wall and might make a solo effort.
