Will Smith performed 'Miami' at a Suicide Squad block party
Will Smith performed his 1998 Big Willie Style hit “Miami” at a Suicide Squad watch party in The Magic City on Wednesday. Smith rapped the crowd pleaser alongside co-stars Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Karen Fukuhara (Katana), and Jay Hernandez (El Diablo), and director David Ayer, who seemed to be having just as much fun as Smith while they dance behind him.
The crowd sang along to the feel-good rap song, as Smith performed during the unveiling of a giant Suicide Squad-themed mural that reads: “In Squad We Trust.” The mural is located at NW 2nd and 27 Street in the city's Wynwood Art District.
Before Smith became a household name on the big screen, he was a Grammy Award-winning rapper in the 90s with the help of DJ Jazzy Jeff. Big Willie Style, Smith’s first studio album, earned him two Grammy Awards. The single “Men in Black” won Best Rap Solo Performance in 1998 and he was awarded the same honor in 1999 for “Gettin' Jiggy Wit It.”
Suicide Squad, in which Smith stars as the villainous sharpshooter Deadshot, hits theaters on August 5th. You can watch Smith perform his 1998 banger "Miami" below.
