The iconic duo will hit the stage at "A Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop," marking their first Grammy-related event together since 1990. DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince became the first Hip-Hop act to win a Grammy for Best Rap Performance in 1989 for "Parents Just Don't Understand," and they became the first rap act to perform at the award show the following year. Jeff and Will haven't shared a stage since they celebrated Smith's 51st birthday together in 2019, but have stayed in contact over the years.
'A Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop' will be taped on November 8 at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, Calif. and will air on December 10 at 8:30 p.m. EST on CBS, as well as steamed on Paramount+.
