Will Smith making rap comeback

Hollywood superstar Will Smith is set to make his rap comeback with his first new album in six years.

The Men In Black actor began his career as The Fresh Prince, teaming up with his childhood pal Jeffrey Townes to form hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince.

He went on to land his own TV sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and has since become one of Hollywood's most in-demand movie stars.

But, according to music producer La Mar 'Mars' Edwards, Smith is heading back into the studio to record a follow up to 2005's Lost and Found.

And they've already started work on the project.

He tells XXLMag.com, "We're working on Will Smith, bringing him back."
