After teasing fans about a possible world tour in 2015, Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff are now planning to reunite for a two-night special event in Europe this August.
Early Monday afternoon (Apr. 24), Smith made the announcement with a video on Facebook. Using vintage footage highlighting his camaraderie with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Smith revealed that he and his partner-in-crime will pair up on August 26 and August 27 in Croatia and the U.K., respectively, for the MTV Summerblast and the Livewire Festival.
The Philly tandem etched their lane in hip-hop in the late '80s and early '90s with light-hearted party raps. Dubbed DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, the heralded group won the first Grammy award for best rap performance in 1989 with "Parents Just Don't Understand." Despite contractual obligations stemming from Smith's role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in the '90s, he and Jazzy Jeff floated back into prominence with their smooth 1991 tune "Summertime." The record bowed at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
