At the BET Awards on Sunday, Will Smith lit up the stage with his performance of his new song, “You Can Make It.” Teaming up with Fridayy and the Sunday Service Choir, Smith delivered a message of perseverance in the gospel-infused track, rapping, “The darker the hell you gotta endure / The brighter the heaven you get to enjoy / The harder the fall, the higher you soar.”
Surrounded by pyrotechnics, Smith’s performance was a fiery spectacle as he shared words of faith and overcoming adversity. This performance comes on the heels of his surprise appearance at Coachella in April, where he joined J Balvin on stage for a lively rendition of his hit track “Men In Black.”
This marks Smith’s first solo music release in over five years, setting the stage for his upcoming album, the first since “Lost and Found” in 2005. Known for his collaborations with artists like Bad Bunny and Marc Anthony, Smith has explored various musical genres over the years. His track “Light ‘Em Up” with Sean Paul features on the soundtrack of his latest film, “Bad Boys: Ride or Die.”
As a four-time Grammy-winning artist, Smith has made his mark in the rap performance category both as a solo artist and as part of a group. From his early days with DJ Jazzy Jeff as the Fresh Prince to his solo success with hits like “Men In Black” and “Gettin’ Jiggy with It,” Smith’s musical journey continues to captivate audiences.
