Will Smith has signed a new record deal and is set to release new music, including a possible return to his hit song "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It."

One month had passed since The Fresh Prince's electrifying performance at the BET Awards, and now there was exciting news buzzing in the music industry. It was announced by The Hollywood Reporter that Will Smith, who first rose to fame as a rapper, had just signed a new record deal with SLANG, a label founded by well-respected music executive Rene McLean. This exciting development came just after Smith's latest performance of his hit song "You Can Make It" at the BET Awards on June 30, where he was joined on stage by the Sunday Service Choir, Kirk Franklin, and Fridayy.

This new project will mark Smith's return to the music scene after a nearly 20-year hiatus since his last album, "Lost and Found," was released in 2005. It was in Philadelphia where Smith first began his venture into hip-hop with his DJ, Jazzy Jeff. Their first hit single, "Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble," was released in 1986, followed by their debut album "Rock the House" in 1987.

It's worth noting that Smith, known as The Fresh Prince in his early days, made history in 1989 by becoming the first rapper ever to receive a Grammy award. This was just the beginning of his long and successful career in both music and acting.

McLean, who is also a partner and founding advisor of the music and entertainment company Influence Media Partners, expressed his excitement about the new record label in a written statement. He stated, "I am honored to lead SLANG and work with talented artists from all genres and stages of their careers. In an ever-changing music industry, SLANG is committed to supporting our artists and helping them achieve their goals. We prioritize culture above all else and consider our SLANG family to be our top priority."

Smith's latest film, the third installment of the "Bad Boys" series, was a major success, grossing $151 million at the domestic box office. "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" was released on June 7 and featured a song by Smith and Sean Paul on the movie's soundtrack, titled "Light Em Up."

In other news, Smith and his co-star Martin Lawrence recently made history by hosting Saudi Arabia's first-ever Hollywood premiere for their film "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." This event was met with much excitement and praise, further solidifying Smith's status as a beloved and trailblazing entertainer.
