Kanye West has spent the last week premiering new music for what is assumed to be his next studio album, but he also appears to be working on some new music with actor/rapper Will Smith.
Will recently revealed that he and Kanye have been hitting the studio together. “I’ve been messing around with Kanye,” Smith said in an interview with HipHollywood. “We went in the studio a few times. I might get the bug.”
The Fresh Prince said he won’t release anything unless he’s truly passionate about the duo’s efforts. “I’m not going to do it unless I’m truly inspired,” but he did reveal that Yeezy has been pushing him a little bit.
Smith spent some time with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in Brazil earlier this year, Vulture reports.
Will Smith’s last album was 2005’s “Lost and Found”, which featured appearances by Snoop Dogg, Robin Thicke and Mary J. Blige, as well the hit song “Switch.”
Last year, the French Prince and his longtime friend collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff teamed up with DJ and mixtape master Mick Boogie to record a new version of their classic 90’s jam “Summertime.”
Could Yeezy inspire Will Smith to finally make that musical comeback?
