Will Smith Talks About Music Comeback

Last fall, the 47years old Will Smith returned to his rap roots for the first time in 10 years, appearing on the remix of Bomba Estéreo's Fiesta.


On the BBC talk series The Graham Norton Show Will revealed his plans for a larger music comeback, which includes new tracks and a tour with longtime collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff. Will, who last released an album in 2005, said “we have recorded about 25 songs and have four or five I actually like, Jeff and I will be back here in the U.K. this summer to do shows, real shows. I'm terrified, I'm really ready, man, I got a whole lotta heart to share and I'm excited about getting it into my music”.


The actor had made similar comments in October, saying he has probably recorded about 30 songs and that he and Jazz planned to embark on their first world tour this summer. The two won the first Grammy award for best rap performance in 1989 for their hit song "Parents Just Don't Understand" and last released new music together in the late '90s
