We offer Mr. Smith a sincere apology and deeply regret the personal stress this has caused him and his family.

The Very Best Of D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince
Release Date: June 06, 2006
82876817492
CD Album

Topping the charts throughout the '80s and '90s with such hits as "Parents Just Don't Understand," "A Nightmare On My Street," and the anthemic "Summertime," Jeff Townes (aka, D.J. Jazzy Jeff) and Will Smith (aka, The Fresh Prince) brought rap music to pop audiences worldwide. Formed in 1986 in Philadelphia while performing at a house party, D.J. Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince served as the launching pad for two major music careers. Renowned for his turntable skills as spotlighted on tracks such as "The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff" and "Brand New Funk," D.J. Jazzy Jeff is internationally acknowledged as a significant figure in the art of turntablism. Today, he plays a major role in nurturing the Neo-Soul movement coming out of Philadelphia. The rapper of the group, Will Smith, needs little introduction as he rose throughout the '80s and '90s to become one of America's biggest stars of film, music and television. Together, as D.J. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, they created some of the most memorable hits of their day and, individually, continue to woo fans worldwide.
