About Jack Harlow

Jackman Thomas Harlow was born March 13, 1998 in Louisville, Kentucky to Maggie and Brian Harlow. He grew up in the Highlands neighborhood, a residentially-mixed walkable district of central Louisville, and attended Highland Middle School and Atherton High School before transferring to Cathedral High School in Indianapolis briefly and ultimately graduating from Louisville's Atherton. He started recording music around age twelve, sold a CD called Rippin' and Rappin' to classmates in middle school, and released a sequence of free mixtapes through high school — Extra Credit (2015), 18 (2016), and Gazebo (2017) — that built a regional Louisville fanbase. Loose in 2018 produced Sundown and Dark Knight, and that year he signed with DJ Drama and Don Cannon's Generation Now imprint, distributed through Atlantic Records. Confetti in 2019 sat alongside the Generation Now Loose Files compilation. The breakthrough was 2020's What's Poppin off the Sweet Action EP — the original peaked in the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100, then the remix featuring Lil Wayne, DaBaby, and Tory Lanez climbed to number two and stayed in the chart's upper reaches for months. The debut studio album That's What They All Say arrived in December 2020 and produced Tyler Herro, a tribute single named after the Miami Heat guard that reached the upper reaches of the Hot 100 and embedded the Louisville-NBA crossover identity in the brand. Come Home the Kids Miss You in May 2022 was the commercial breakout — First Class, anchored by a sample of Fergie's 2007 hit Glamorous, debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the defining pop-rap singles of the year, alongside Nail Tech, Churchill Downs with Drake (a track that referenced Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III in the writing), and Movie. The album received mixed-to-positive critical reception with debate around its melodic-pop direction relative to the harder mixtape catalogue. Jackman in April 2023 was a surprise stripped-back release — a lyrically-focused, sample-heavy project that critics widely received as a creative reset, with They Don't Love It and Common Ground anchoring the run. Lovin' On Me in November 2023, anchored by a 1995 Cadillac Dale sample, debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. He played the lead role of Jeremy in the 2023 Hulu remake of White Men Can't Jump opposite Sinqua Walls, made the Time 100 Next list, and has built creative ties to Drake (Churchill Downs collaboration), Lil Wayne (Whats Poppin remix), Eminem (the Killer remix), and the broader Generation Now / Atlantic Records roster including Lil Uzi Vert and Lil Yachty. He has also become known for his Louisville civic involvement — the No Place Like Home brand, the Kentucky Derby creative ties (Churchill Downs is the Louisville thoroughbred track that anchored the Come Home the Kids Miss You single), and the broader Louisville and University of Kentucky basketball cultural lineage that runs across the catalogue.
