Will Smith is back in the rap game, and he’s bringing The Matrix with him! The Hollywood icon just dropped Beautiful Scars, his first single in over two decades, featuring Big Sean and Obanga. The music video? A mind-bending nod to the blockbuster he famously turned down for Wild Wild West!
In a hilarious twist, Big Sean plays Morpheus, offering Smith the ultimate career do-over: Take the red pill and star in The Matrix, or take the blue pill and keep his life as is. But in true Will Smith fashion, he takes both, unleashing a flurry of action-packed sequences with martial arts and high-speed chases.
The song isn’t just fun and games, though—it dives deep into Smith’s journey, fame’s pitfalls, and that Oscars moment. With lyrics reflecting his highs and lows, Beautiful Scars sets the tone for his upcoming album, Based on a True Story, dropping this March.
Also on the album? His previous singles You Can Make It, Work of Art, and Tantrum featuring Joyner Lucas. Love him or hate him, the Fresh Prince is making sure you remember his name!
