Will Smith returns with first album in 20 years

[darealvelle]

To be fair, Jeff has often used ghost or co-producers (post Fresh Prince & Jazz Jeff era), so I wouldn't say linking up with Jeff would be the answer

For example, I really loved Jeff's Magnificent album, and I still love a lot of it, but it was only with time and my own taste expanding that I understood most of it was Kev Brown and Oddisee, so he was clearly coasting off of the Low Budget sound at that time.

So unless Jeff was digging into his bag of young'ns (like the people who used to go to his PLAYLIST Retreat), I wouldn't say Jeff is the answer.

Yep and Oddisee was only 15 at that time too. Also Dre & vidal was there too(Jazzy Jeffs understudies)

Supposedly he’s got two more albums coming out so she might be on the next ones.

Lyrically he’s on point but the production and themes are all over the place

@Ziggiy ‘s analysis was on point

Might have to turn in my Stan card after this album. This ain’t it Will.

Honestly and this is coming from a Will Smith Stan. I appreciate the effort and him executing his Mr Morale and Big Steppers album on NyQuil. I think if he had better production on this album it could have been a better album. Will needs to pick better beats that he can flow on or he needs to be on a feature to be guided. Like the tracks with Big Sean and Joyner they weren’t bad because they set the tone on for Will to rap on. But the content and the message he’s trying to show can be good for people that are in a negative spot mentally and need something to move forward to a more positive trajectory. Will is trying to make what some people would consider his failures and in his own trying to show you how he’s navigating through it. Which I can’t knock him for that and being a Black Man doing it.
