Will Smith has teamed up with rap music icon Joyner Lucas for an empowering new single, TANTRUM, released via The Orchard. The song acts as a heartfelt letter to their younger selves, addressing past challenges with fierce energy and introspection. Co-created by Lucas and Leo Son, TANTRUM combines high-octane production with a raw, emotional exchange between the artists, as they trade verses filled with anger, resilience, and determination.
The accompanying music video, directed by Lucas and Matthew Bordenave, features dynamic animation by Cartuna Cartoon. The visuals bring the song’s themes of personal growth to life, with animated versions of Smith and Lucas battling symbolic obstacles—such as collapsing skyscrapers and treacherous mountains—that reflect their journey of perseverance.
TANTRUM follows Smith’s impactful return to music this year. Earlier releases, including “You Can Make It” featuring Fridayy and Sunday Service Choir, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Gospel chart, and “WORK OF ART” with Russ and Jaden Smith, have further cemented his musical resurgence and versatility.
