American actor and rapper Will Smith will release his new album "Based On A True Story" on March 28, marking his return to the music scene after 20 years since his last musical work. Smith shared the news through his Instagram account, excited to present this new project to the public.
This album becomes his first release since "Lost and Found" in 2005, and according to industry sources, it could be the start of a trilogy, as it carries the subtitle "Season 1: R.T.I.W." Smith's previous work, "Lost and Found," along with three of his other four solo albums, reached the Top 10 on various charts.
Will Smith, 56 years old and a four-time Grammy winner, rose to fame in the music industry as part of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. As a solo artist, he has made a mark with albums such as "Big Willie Style" and "Willennium," as well as iconic songs like "Miami," "Men in Black," and "Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It." In the film industry, Smith is recognized as a star thanks to movies like "Men in Black" (1997) and recently won an Oscar for his role in "King Richard" (2022).
Despite his successes in music and film, the night of his Oscar win was marked by an incident where Smith slapped presenter Chris Rock. The news of his upcoming album has generated great anticipation among his fans, who eagerly await this return to music from one of the most prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
