Logic just released his latest project, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind which included an eclectic list of collaborators. Logic links up Eminem on "Homicide" while also enlisting YBN Cordae, Gucci Mane, and Wiz Khalifa, among others, to help him out on the project. One of the most surprising collaborations on the project is his song with Will Smith, "Don't Be Afraid To Be Different."

Over some golden age-inspired production, Logic and Will Smith celebrate individuality on their Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind collab. Will Smith comes through on the first verse with a few bars off of the Fresh Prince theme before reminding everyone of his days before acting when he and Jazzy Jeff won the first rap Grammy. He then dives into his Instagram content before firing shots at Fortnite for stealing Carlton's dance.

Peep their collab below.

Quotable Lyrics
Back in high school I was not the man
Now wherever I go they know who I am
From Maryland to Beijing I'm raging
Paging the doctor on call, the illest of them all
