With a ten-year haitus since his last release Lost And Found, you’d assume Will Smith has now fully retired from his rap career. However it is recently revealed by the Fresh Prince himself that he is plotting a music comeback. He has been mentored by both Kanye West and by his own son Jaden Smith, who has put out a more than a few records on his own. He tells reporters during the screening of his new film Focus: “I went into the studio with Kanye. I’m thinking about it. I’m exploring. I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet but I’m exploring.” He adds, “I’m in a creative ceiling. My son tells me I have to write out the things I don’t like.
