Will Smith Reveals Drake Collaboration on Son Jaden's Beats 1 Radio Show

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air has announced that he's still getting jiggy with it and is collaborating with Drake. The rapper-turned-movie star divulged the news on his son Jaden's latest 24/7 Beats 1 radio show available on Apple Music.

For Jaden's very first episode, he spoke to his father, Will Smith, who called in to discuss his future endeavors, which include getting back into the music game. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet but I'm exploring. I'm in a creative ceiling," he said, according to Hypetrak.

"I can't write and stop, I have to keep going and going and write them out," he continued before teasing the upcoming partnership between himself and the Toronto native and former Degrassi star.

Smith put out his last album in 2005 titled Lost and Found and previously announced that he's recorded nearly "seven or eight" songs with rap mogul Kanye West, notes NME. After being photographed alongside each other in a Brazil studio in 2013, Smith went on record to explain he's been "messing around with Kanye."

"You know I've recorded a lot. I've recorded a lot. I don't have anything I like yet, but I've probably recorded seven or eight [songs]. It's not for certain, it's just explorative," he added.

The conversation led to writing processes and creativity procedures as well as Smith attributing his dedication and focus to his son. He mentioned a "group chat" in which Jaden may have been responsible for leading Smith and Drake to one another.

Although it's been a decade since Smith released some tunes, there's no doubt the 46-year-old star can figure out how to craft a few catchy tracks.
