Nice surprise! Sounds like the new single/album will be less serious and more fun. Looking forward to it.

Can't wait!! That's Cassandra Freeman BTW, Aunt Viv in 'Bel-Air'.

New Single! "Pretty Girls" drops this Friday, June 13th!

Dope album. I love how the beats keep changing.

The mask makes this a little weird.

Looking forward to this one. Hope it will be great.

He said the second album would drop in June, let's see if he keeps his word. I really hope so but I'm skeptical. The first album didn't do well, so maybe that discouraged him a bit.

I'm hoping it is the first single off the new album.

Victory is all about perseverance, storytelling, imagination and evolution. Slick Rick joins forces with Idris Elba for Victory — a visionary visual album set to be released through 7Wallace, in collaboration with Mass Appeal on June 13. Celebrating 26 years since The Ruler’s last album, Victory is a triumphant new chapter — a sonic and cinematic tour de force that redefines the boundaries of storytelling, legacy and the power of imagination. Executive produced by The Poet (Slick Rick) and The Visionary (Idris Elba), the project features powerful collaborations with Nas and Giggs, along with a special contribution from Estelle. At its heart lies a 30-minute immersive film, directed by Meji Alabi — the creative mind behind Beyoncé’s Black Is King, which brings Victory to life through bold imagery and narrative depth. For the aesthetic vision, Slick Rick collaborated with legendary photographer Jonathan Mannion and brand storytellers Equator Studios. The music was mixed by Young Guru, with the album artwork and rollout developed in partnership with British agency PAQ and Rick’s own Team Eye Patch. Victory will premiere at the inaugural SXSW London on June 7th followed by an In Conversation with Slick Rick, Idris Elba and film director, Meji Alabi. In New York, the film will premiere at the prestigious Tribeca Festival on June 13th followed by a Q&A with Slick Rick.

The sequel continues the legacy of the original film, capturing the drama, humor, and heart that unfold in the daily lives of stylists and their loyal clientele. Tatyana Ali shines as a young woman finding her voice and confidence, while Stacey Dash adds flair and attitude to the salon’s colorful ensemble. Bobby Brown surprises with a comedic twist, showing off his range in a role that blends charm and chaos.

All I see is “will smith is shooting a new music video” I wonder which song it’s for??!

Ya I really like this one!

This is dope!! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJMz7I0vH8W/

Yes, Noriega as an interviewer is weak, but Will pulls it all off - his charisma and pitch are top notch. He tells a couple of stories that have never been heard before - very cool!

I just really hope he continues w the other 2 albums and continues to tour. I just need 1 damn show that is drivable from Toronto, ON

The first one of these dates that includes JJ! Love to see it.

No rapper (bar Em) is gonna have a massive chart hit in their 50s. Maybe is Jay-Z dropped something. It's just how it is. Honestly charting high now doesn't matter, and shouldn't matter to him. The tours on the other hand are selling well, that's the bread and butter now.

I can't say I'm sad to see this one go. It seemed kind of uneccessary.
