West Philadelphia, PA – Will Smith and the words “In West Philadelphia, born and raised” are synonymous. As part of the theme song to the iconic ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, those words kicked off every episode for the show’s six-season run.

Smith, who is now a bona fide megastar, was recently honored with a mural in his hometown of Philadelphia celebrating his accomplishments. British artist Richard Wilson painted the mural on the wall of Gevurtz Furniture in West Philly.

Wilson worked with West Philly’s Mural Arts Philadelphia and Global Leadership Academy Charter to secure the wall.
