💨 Abstract

Will Smith sought advice from Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar before creating his new album 'Based on a True Story'. Jay-Z urged him to be authentic, while warning against emulating younger rappers. Kendrick Lamar advised him to speak his truth. The album, Smith's first since 2005, addresses his infamous Oscars slap and features collaborations with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Teyana Taylor, and Jac Ross.
