It’s been more than two decades since we first heard the smooth groove of Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff’s “Summertime,” and now the Men in Black 3 star has remixed a new version of the classic song.

According to TMZ, Smith recorded a remixed version of “Summertime” as an intro for Summertime 3, a forthcoming mixtape by DJ Jazzy Jeff and Mick Boogie.

Smith and Jeff have not recorded an album together since 1993, but TMZ reported the Fresh Prince was excited to record the all new, smoothed out version of the 1991 classic.
