According to Sounds Music Group CEO, Solomon Sobande, Blink-182, Lil Wayne, Lil Nas X, and many more will be featured on the posthumous release from XXXTentacion:

I’m not sure if this is a Travis Barker feature, or if the entire band is on a track, but to say this is disappointing to see would be an understatement.
Blink-182 have officially shared their mashup of “What’s My Age Again?” with Lil Wayne to streaming services. They’ve also posted up a limited edition t-shirt of the collaboration.
