Editor's note

Will Smith, from West Philly rapper to Fresh Prince

A friendly pop-rap voice that soundtracked his rise from sitcom star to blockbuster actor.

For the early sound, try 'Girls Ain't Nothing but Trouble'. 'Ring My Bell' shows he could still drop a solid pop-rap single later on.

Smith's music gave a soundtrack to his own story, from the early DJ Jazzy Jeff days with 'Girls Ain't Nothing but Trouble' to solo hits like 'Gettin' Jiggy Wit It'. Those tracks kept a light, catchy vibe even as his films took over, with songs like 'Bad Boys' and 'Arabian Nights' popping up in movies. It's a reminder that his rapping was always part of the package, not just a side gig.

He started rapping in West Philadelphia in the mid-1980s with DJ Jazzy Jeff. The sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' in 1990 made him famous, and its theme song became a signature. Later solo work like 'Big Willie Style' and film tracks kept the music going alongside his acting.

Archive material and source history

Will Smith started out as a rapper in West Philadelphia, teaming up with DJ Jazzy Jeff in the mid-1980s. Their early single 'Girls Ain't Nothing but Trouble' got some attention, but it was the sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' that really made him famous in 1990. The show's theme song, 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air (Um Maluco No Pedaço),' became one of those tracks everyone knew.

As a solo artist in the 1990s, Smith had hits like 'Gettin' Jiggy Wit It' from his album 'Big Willie Style.' That song got him into some legal trouble over the lyrics, though the case settled out of court. He kept putting out music while his acting career took off, with songs like 'Bad Boys' and 'Arabian Nights' showing up in his film work.

Smith's music always had that upbeat, accessible quality, nothing too hardcore, just catchy rhymes and a friendly vibe. Even as he became a bigger movie star, tracks like 'Ring My Bell' reminded people he could still deliver a solid pop-rap single when he wanted to.
