All the people I used to listen to while I was growing up
Put your hands together for Grand Master Caz and Mellie Mel
Let me hear it back there, for Grand Master Caz and Mellie Mel

You know I'm a young boy, I'm just coming up, you know, starting to do this

But before I do what I wanna do I wanna know is Brooklyn in the place?

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince

“DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince” is a hip-hop duo from West Philadelphia.

Rapper Will Smith (The Fresh Prince) met disc jockey Jeff Townes (DJ Jazzy Jeff) in the 1980s, when they were both trying to make names for themselves in West Philadelphia’s local hip hop scene.

The group received the first Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 1989 for “Parents Just Don’t Understand”, though their most successful single was “Summertime” which earned the group their second Grammy and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
