What do you think of the album cover and the photography that supports the album? I mostly likely it, but I'm slightly mixed. The photography seems very classic Fresh Prince, even though the subject matter and tone of this album will be different. It makes me wonder if it'll be a little ill-fitting. It also gives off 2000's vibes, which is cool, but again, does it complement the music that he's strived so hard to make more modern? I kind of wish "Will Smith" was spelled out instead of just "WS".
It reminds me of lost & found.
since that was such a defining album for me, I’m cool with it.
I see what you’re saying about the vibe not matching though. I do think this fits with “bulletproof” so hopefully the other songs we haven’t heard yet are in the same vein.

Will just got in the booth live on stream and started recording a new track. They named it “attention”.
he also played some of “bulletproof”.
Personally love the way he was spittin on both of these!
full stream HERE

The tracklist seems to be missing some features.
The tracks that don’t list features are tracks that are by both artists.
for instance work of art is by “Will Smith & Russ featuring Jaden”
It’s weird that this track list doesn’t include them though.

HERE WE GO! 20 years later! Jazzy Jeff is at least involved in the intro. Hope he contributed to some tracks!

So we know that there will be three albums (or seasons) as he calls it. One will be released in March this year.
The albums will be called Based On A True Story and every season gets a news title:
Album 1: Rave in the wasteland
Album 2: The Gift of Madness
Album 3: no title yetWe will get 10 tracks per album.
Unreal!

Not my favourite, still like his moments though.
-
Did anyone notice that the LA date has been removed from will smith.com?
-
Damn I’m bummed I missed this. Anyone have footage of it?
-
Man 3 albums and a possible stadium tour!? That is incredibly exciting. I really hope he keeps it up and doesn’t lose steam. I’m worried a movie roll will come along that will derail things.
A stadium tour hitting more North American spots would be incredible!

Is Will really puting out 3 albums in 2025! That feels like ''Fake News'' LOL! I'm kinda confused though he's changed the album title like 3 times already i really liked Dance in your Darkest Moments.
Well he said the 3 albums combined are called “based on a true story”
but the first one is sticking with “rave in the wasteland”
I guess “dance in your darkest moments” is still the name of the movement?

Anyone else worried like me! Whenever this album comes out. Besides from ''You can Make It'' and Work of Art'' Will's going to have 2 verse's a song atleast, and no more than 2 minutes a song like i'm worried about that '' Light em Up'' Was hard but Will only had 1 verse i wish he would have went in more and 2 minutes long just left me wanting a longer song and the songs he's been releasing on his channel 1 verse with a feature from someone else 2 minutes and it's over.
I'm so use to 3 verse Will songs and atleast over 3 minutes a song that it's going to be so disappointing if this album comes out and we only get 1 verse at the least 2 verses a song at the most and no longer than 2 minutes a song.
Right now I believe the only songs we know about on the album are "You Can Make it" "Work of Art" & "Bulletproof" and in all 3 he has more than 1 verse. Worry not!

Knew it was a new song and video, honestly shocked it’s not “bulletproof” though. That title seemed to work so well for this concept of a video.
excited for new music though!

It looks like matrix, it smells like matrix, but it is not matrix movie. Or something like " follow the white rabbit", like Alice in wonderland. I think that there will be a release reveal of new music. I think that it is all about the music, not a matrix movie.
Must be at this point. The website is entirely about music so the fact that it links there must mean it’s music. Calling my shot with a music video for “bulletproof”
-
I'm starting to think the "White Rabbit/Matrix" thing is a music video for "bulletproof"? I originally thought it was going to be a Super Bowl commercial but now it's clearly tied into his music. I'm confused about the theatre premiere though, would he really premiere a music video in theatres like that?

First song of the show was new too. It's probably called 'You looking for me?'
I found a little snippet of it in this post.

'Based on a True Story' - New Album drops March 28
in Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Posted · Edited by eagle1
Man I can’t believe we finally got here. 20 years to the day (almost) since Lost & Found was released.
I was always going to love this album, no doubt, but it has completely surpassed my expectations. All of the new tracks (that we hadn’t fully heard yet) are incredible. Int. barbershop is classic JJFP with a modern self aware spin that completely blew me away.
you lookin for me is incredible too. An interesting mix of old and new. It goes hard.
Rave in the wasteland was completely unexpected. Very different feel, reminds of that short clip Will released years ago.(where he mentioned King Kong) has a “black skinhead” vibe mixed with Will singing, Listening to this track was the moment I knew this album was a certified banger.
Bulletproof is possibly my fav track on the album, feels like it deserves to be a hit track too. Bringing soul, rock, and rap in a way only Will can.
Hard Times (Smile) is great too. I have a big soft spot for upbeat fun Will songs like this. I wasn’t sure at first, but when the beat hits off the top I knew I was in. Nice to hear will feeling positive again. I like teyana’s vocals too.
Make it look easy is a contender for my favourite track as well. Another upbeat positive song where Will is exuding confidence. Can’t imagine listening to this and not smiling. Love the hook too.
Not one of the new tracks was a miss for me. I really enjoyed hearing the tracks we have already gotten all together in one cohesive package. The interludes were great too. Just makes it all fit together nicely. It will be a lot of fun to listen to all 3 of these albums together when it’s all said and done.
out of the tracks we already had, You Can Make It and Tantrum are my favourite. Both are fantastic for completely different reasons.
I really like beautiful scars and work of art as well, but I prefer all of the new tracks that were released with the album. I’m surprised they were released ahead of these.
as many others seem to agree, first love is the weakest track for me. I still like it and it’s certainly growing on me. But it’s not a slam dunk like the rest are for me. I think I actually prefer team tomodachi over it. Certainly falls in a similar vein as fiesta & esta rico. I love will’s moments, but the rest is hard to vibe with.
we’ve certainly come a long way from “get lit” FP is back imo. Couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come and to finally see Will (and hopefully Jeff) perform live.
