Based on a True Story 2025 Album

Will Smith

The first track is fun with probably the most likeable instrumentation (thanks to the boom bap influence) but too much of this is preachy and Will trying to be motivational. His underrated and last album in '05, 'Lost and Found', has a better balance of conscious rap with party rap. His yelling of "you looking for me" on the second track sounds awkward. Too many of the beats reek of generic trap Beats: ★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Int. Barbershop - Day, You Can Make It, Work of Art
