ONE of the world’s top DJs and a former television co-star of Hollywood legend Will Smith will be spinning the discs at a Hatfield nightspot later this month.

For American hip-hop artist, DJ, actor and producer Jazzy Jeff is coming to the Forum.

Born in West Philadelphia, ‘Jazzy’ Jeff Townes will be at the University of Hertfordshire’s £38m entertainment complex on Wednesday, December 16 as part of the All Bonked Out club night.

Jazzy Jeff’s appearance at the Forum follows high-profile visits to the venue by the likes Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe and Edith Bowman, members of indie giants Kaiser Chiefs and rap star will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas.

He is best known as half of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince after teaming up with Will Smith in the late 1980s.

The pair later appeared together on TV for six years in the top American sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, with Jazz playing Will’s best friend.

In 1991, Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince released their fourth album, Homebase, which featured the now classic top 10 smash Summertime.

Two years later, they topped the charts worldwide with Boom! Shake the Room, which was only the third rap single to go to number one in the UK.

By this time Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince had released five albums in seven years, sold 14 million records together, and won two Grammy and three American Music Awards.

As Will Smith began to focus on his burgeoning television and movie career, going on to star in blockbusters such as Bad Boys, Independence Day and Men In Black, Jeff continued producing music and DJing.

And he recently performed alongside Eminem and The Roots doing LL Cool J’s Rock the Bells at the VH1s Hip Hop Honors 2009 Show to mark the 25th anniversary of record label Def Jam.

DJ Jazzy Jeff will be at the Forum in Hatfield on December 16, with the Bonk night starting at 9pm and finishing at 3am.

This event is for students and guests only.

Tickets cost £7 in advance, £8 on the door and £10 after midnight.
