Will Smith Reveals Details 'Based On A True Story,' His First Album In 20 Years

Will Smith is making a comeback — not only to film, but to music. On Friday, March 14, the Oscar winner revealed the cover art and release date to his new album, Based on a True Story. Though Smith began his career as a rapper under the alias, “The Fresh Prince,” he hasn’t put out an album since 2005’s Lost and Found, which featured the hit single, “Switch.” With Based on a True story marking his first album in 20 years, Smith hasn’t lost a beat, and he’s been keeping his ear to the streets.
