Will Smith Is Going on Tour, Has 30 Songs Done, Is Terrified and Pumped
"I'm at the beginning of this process," Will Smith told Zane Lowe on Beats 1 on Monday. "You know, shaking the rust off, knocking the dust off." The topic's his rap career, which touched the road again only a few days ago with the Fresh Prince's first verse in 10 years, on a remix of Bomba Estéreo's "Fiesta."
And it's serious. Smith's "pretty sure" he's going on tour next summer—his first time ever—and he's recorded more than 30 songs, "six or seven that I really, really like, that I'm trying to get the ideas to come out right." He's in the studio on a nearly daily basis, looking for collaborators and planning to bring DJ Jazzy Jeff on the (probably happening) summer 2016 tour.
