Artistry

Style

Harlow's craft has been characterized by critics as blending playful confidence with emotional sincerity in both his music and lyrics, [70] [71] which often explore themes such as sexuality, partying, and drug use. [72] Harlow's music has been categorized broadly as hip hop. Publications have further tagged his music as blending trap beats [73] with instruments such as pianos and uilleann pipes. [74] [75]

In 2020, Kate Hutchinson of The Guardian opined that Harlow's most interesting songs are his more introspective ones, dealing with topics such as being uncomfortable with his acclaim, and his white privilege. [74] Thomas Hobbs, another writer for The Guardian, wrote that Harlow embraces "being a dorky outsider", while additionally having "enough charisma" to pull off "using language that is usually cringeworthy coming from suburban white people". [76] He has described his own music as emphasizing rhythm, and his lyricism as being "personal but fun", [77] and geared toward "connect[ing] with people". [78] In 2022, following Harlow's surge in popularity, Terry Nguyen of Vox also described his music as breezy, comparing it to Drake. [4] Nguyen praised Harlow's lyricism for its wise wordplay and for its introspective content. [4]

Influences

Harlow cites a range of influences across multiple genres, including Eminem, [79] Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Outkast, Paul Wall, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hall & Oates, Fergie, and Jesse McCartney, among others. [80] [81] [82] Harlow has also identified cinema as an influence, aiming for his songs to be "like short films". His favorite filmmakers are Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Alfred Hitchcock. [83]

Philanthropy and activism

Harlow supports the Black Lives Matter political movement, having attended a rally to protest the killing of Breonna Taylor, which occurred in his hometown. [84] Harlow has stated that, being white, he "can never truly know what [the experience of racism] is like", and that it is his responsibility as a white rapper to approach his work with that knowledge in mind. [85]

In October 2021, Harlow donated to five Louisville-based organizations: AMPED, the Center for Women and Families, the Grace M. James Academy of Excellence, Louisville Urban League and Metro United Way. [86] [87] Citing the spirit and pride he holds for his hometown, Harlow stated that "People need hope, they need love", when announcing his donation plans. [86] KFC and Instagram pledged to match up to $50,000 of what Harlow raises through the social media platform's fundraising tool. [86]

In December 2021, Harlow teamed up with KFC and its parent company Yum! Brands to donate a joint $250,000 to the American Red Cross to support those impacted by a deadly tornado in western Kentucky. [88]

In 2023, he founded the Jack Harlow Foundation to “reinvest, uplift and support organizations aiming to make the city that raised him a better place.” [89] That same year, he headlined a rally alongside Kentucky's Democratic governor Andy Beshear ahead of the general election. [90]
