Young rapper Jaden Smith debuts new video Pumped Up Kicks (Like Me)
Jaden Smith doesn't lose more time in showing off some more skills he has, beside rapping! The 14-year-old yound Smith shows off his skateboarding skill in the brand new video for his new song "Pumped Up Kicks (Like Me)", which is actually a remix of Foster the People's hit "Like Me".

Aside from planning to release a mixtape, Jaden is busy with his acting career. Along with his father Will, he's filming a sci-fi movie called "After Earth", which is set to arrive in theaters in the U.S. on June 7, 2013.
