On another post Will shared that he was excited to perform at the BET awards sharing with his audience that music got him through some of his darkest moments.
Through some of my darkest moments, music has always been there for me – to lift me and help me grow. It’s my humble wish that it can do the same for you and bring you all the joy and light you deserve.
“You Can Make It” drops at midnight. Excited to perform it live Sunday at the #betawards.
According to Rolling Stone Will hasn’t released much new music in the nearly 20 years since his last album, Lost and Found, dropped in 2005.
There have been scattered singles and features, like “Live It Up” with Nicky Jam and Era Isterefi, “Está Rico” with Marc Anthony and Bad Bunny; and the “Will” remix with Joyner Lucas.
Most recently, Smith partnered with Sean Paul for “Light ‘Em Up,” a song off the Bad Boys: Ride or Die soundtrack.
“From his start as a rapper to The Fresh Prince to being a box office king as one of the Bad Boys, Smith is truly a global icon, and we are honored to welcome him back to grace the BET Awards stage,” Connie Orlando, BET’s EVP Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy, said in a statement. “We look forward to Will adding to yet another defining night for the culture that is not to be missed.”
