Long before reigning on the television screen, Will Smith was the king of the hip-hop world. To this day fans consider singers like Jay-Z, Eminem, Drake, and Kanye West as true gems of the music industry. Many people have forgotten that Fresh Prince was the one who won the first rap Grammy in history. And though this legendary actor is rarely given credit for being an impactful artist, he still continues to explore music that reminds him of his days.

The Oscar winner recently reshared the story posted by the rapper Deshawn Wooten, professionally known as Deshawn Beatz. The story had the caption, “”MY TESTIMONY” OFFICIAL VIDEO IS OUT NOW!!!” Will Smith gave a special shout-out to the music video dropped on social media on 22 May. This video has only received 762 views in two days so it appears the actor decided to highlight it among his fans. This would help the Chicago-based musician get recognition for making this beautiful song.
