Will Smith performs Fresh Prince track 'Summertime' on The Late show with Stephen Colbert

He recently played Miami while promoting Suicide Squad

In recent weeks, Will Smith has been dipping into his back catalogue somewhat, performing the track “Miami” at a Suicide Squad party.

While promoting the film on The Late show with Stephen Colbert, Smith went further back into his career, all the way to 1991 when he was best known for being The Fresh Prince alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff.

During a commercial break, Colbert’s band began a jazzy rendition of “Summertime”, the Grammy-award winning summer anthem, with Smith obliging them by picking up the microphone and rapping for the adoring audience.

There have been rumours about Smith returning to his Fresh Prince days for some time, with the actor/rapper previously saying he was hoping to tour in the summer with Jazzy Jeff; something that unfortunately has yet to transpire.

Earlier this year, Smith said he’s written "six or seven tracks that I really, really like. I’m just trying to get the ideas to come out right.”

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince grew to worldwide fame in the late 1980s, winning the first Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 1989 for their track “Parents Just Don’t Understand”.

The duo split but both continued with solo careers, Smith having phenomenal success with the song “Switch” while DJ Jazzy Jeff went on to become a respected underground DJ - his most recent work includes doing scratches and overdubs for the film Straight Outta Compton.
