Variety reports:

Will Smith wastes no time addressing his Chris Rock Oscars slap on new album “Based on a True Story,” which released on Friday. In fact, the project’s first track, “Int. Barbershop — Day,” opens with the phrase: “Will Smith is canceled.”

The song, which features Smith’s Fresh Prince collaborator DJ Jazzy Jeff and B. Simone, sees differently-pitched voices trade rumors and opinions about the actor and rapper in a freestyle manner.
