"Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)" is a song by rapper and actor Will Smith. The song was a part of the film Men in Black II's soundtrack and the first single on Smith's album Born to Reign.

Background

The song was written for the 2002 Columbia Pictures action-comedy film Men in Black II, in which Smith portrays Agent J. The song was released as a single from the Men in Black II soundtrack on May 13, 2002.[1] The single reached number 77 on the US Billboard Hot 100, but was more successful in the UK, peaking at number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song features vocals from Trā-Knox, who performs part of the hook in the chorus. In 2017, Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland revealed that he had been approached by Smith to help compose the theme for Men In Black II, but he turned down the offer.[2]

Music video

The music video for "Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)" features footage of Smith performing onstage in a Men in Black II environment, featuring characters and footage from the movie. It is notable that a scene that was deleted from the final cut of the film appears in a montage sequence in the video. Smith's oldest son, Trey, and actress Meagan Good make cameos. The video was directed by Francis Lawrence, produced by Joseph Sassone and first aired on the June 3, 2002, episode of MTV show Making the Video.
