Listen to New Jack Harlow Album ‘That’s What They All Say’ Feat Lil Baby, Adam Levine & more.
Jack Harlow drops off his Debut Album “That’s What They All Say”. The music Includes features from Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, DaBaby, Big Sean, Chris Brown, Adam Levine, and several others.
Jack Harlow, the Kentucky wonder boy, is set to take the next step in his career with the release of his highly anticipated debut studio album “That’s What They All Say“. In this debut full-length release, Harlow raps with his whole chest, paying respect to his Louisville roots while still asserting that his sights are set on goals far beyond where he started. Harlow’s hitmaking skill is demonstrated on previous tracks like “Way Out” with Big Sean and “Tyler Herro,” while “Face of My City” shows him holding his own against rap legends like Lil Baby. Authenticity is one of Harlow’s most redeeming qualities, and That’s What They All Say serves as the perfect coming-of-age album for the rapper who has no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
Harlow also discussed what it was like for him after the initial popularity of his now three-times platinum single “WHATS POPPIN,” and how he’s been navigating since then in an interview with Apple Music and Zane Lowe.
“It’s funny. Every level up just normalizes everything,” he said. “You see a place you want to be, and you’re like, if I could just be there, I would feel on top of the world. And then you get there and you’re like, what’s up there though? So you just keep looking up the hill, and that’s a blessing and a curse. It can be unhealthy. But I feel like that’s what’s gotten me this far is I want so much more than this right here.”
Harlow’s That’s What They All Say” was the first US top-ten album opened at number five on the Billboard 200, with 51,000 album-equivalent units (2,000 including pure album sales) in its first week. During the tracking week, the album received a total of 66.21 million on-demand streaming of its tracks.
Harlow used his XXL Freshman freestyle to pay tribute to one-man Louisville barbecue legend David McAtee, who was slain by police during last summer’s George Floyd and Breonna Taylor riots; on Thats What They All Say, he uses Louisville as a lens to attempt to fulfil his obligations as a white rapper while parsing the racial tension that comes with the region.
“I’m from the white side like Hassan,” he raps on “Route 66.” On “Baxter Avenue,” named for a local thoroughfare, he reflects on his relationship with his predominately Black clique Private Garden: “Always wondered to myself if I could really be a leader of a group of brown-skinned boys when I’m not brown-skinned / Certain things they grew up on that they get but I don’t get / Differences in how we raised make me feel like I don’t fit / Not to mention the distance between our parents’ houses.” Building a career as a white rapper is like playing a video game on “easy” mode. Harlow owns that.
