Will Smith Gives Shout-Out To Tesla In First Rap In A Decade
This week Will Smith appeared on a rap track – a remix of a song by the name of "Fiesta" – with a shout to Tesla. "No gassin' me, I'm a Tesla," says Smith on the track. Smith is one a number of celebrities that currently own a Tesla Model S, and – as of April 2013 – Smith's son planned on picking one up as well. In a Google+ hangout with a number of "Top Thinkers" including Elon Musk, Jaden Smith suggested that the Model S was "simply fly."
Apparently the creator of the track (Fiesta), was sought out by Smith to do a remix of the song which was already out earlier this year in its original form. According to the Guardian, Smith discovered the band on a recent trip to Columbia.
Bomba Estéreo band founder Simon Mejia suggested that "the opportunity to work with Will was beyond anything we have dreamed of."
"When I was told that Will Smith wanted to collaborate on a remix with Bomba, I couldn't believe it."
Above you'll see (or mostly hear) the track courtesy of Bomba Estéreo. You'll find only one mention of Tesla, while the timeline we've got below has plenty. We'll expect that the Smiths will have their Model Xs in line before the end of next year.
