Harlow was raised in a musical household. He was exposed so much to country music (from his father) and his mother was a huge fan of rap and hip hop. He was heavily exposed to rap and hip hop which ultimately gave him the passion to start rapping at the tender age of 12.
He joined forces with his friend and used basic music material to start rapping. They created a CD called ‘Rippin’ and Rappin’ and began selling CD copies at Highland Middle School (which was the school Jack was attending at the time).
Harlow continued to perfect and work on his rap flow which then gave him the opportunity to acquire more advanced music technology which enabled him to make his first ever mixtape.

In June 2016, Harlow managed to release his mixtape called ‘18’ after leaving Atherton high school in less than one month. This mixtape happened to be the first album he had created on his music label, Private Garden.
In 2017, he released his single ‘Routine’ in the summer and then went on to release another single in October of that year called ‘Dark Knight’. The good thing about his second single was that Harlow was about to produce a music video for it.

It was in January of 2020 that Harlow released his well-known single ‘Whats Poppin’, which made him famous. By 10, March 2022, its Youtube video to this song exceeded 152 million views.

Later, Harlow released two singles ‘Tyler Herro’ and ‘Way Out’ in his debut studio album ‘That’s What They All Say’, along with ‘Whats Poppin’ and its remix.

Always Seek An Opportunity
Harlow has been grinding and working hard from the tender age of 12. He saw the passion for hip hop music from his mother and did what he could to enhance his career.
