Artistry
Style
Harlow's craft has been characterized by critics as blending playful confidence with emotional sincerity in both his music and lyrics,[69][70] which often explore themes such as sexuality, partying, and drug use.[71] Harlow's music has been categorized broadly as hip hop. Publications have further tagged his music as blending trap beats[72] with instruments such as pianos and uilleann pipes.[73][74]
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.[73] 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".[75] He has described his own music as emphasizing rhythm, and his lyricism as being "personal but fun",[76] and geared toward "connect[ing] with people".[77] 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,[78] Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Outkast, Paul Wall, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hall & Oates, Fergie, and Jesse McCartney, among others.[79][80][81] 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.[82]
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.[83] 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.[84]
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.[85][86] Citing the spirit and pride he holds for his hometown, Harlow stated that "People need hope, they need love", when announcing his donation plans.[85] KFC and Instagram pledged to match up to $50,000 of what Harlow raises through the social media platform's fundraising tool.[85]
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.[87]
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.”[88] That same year, he headlined a rally alongside Kentucky's Democratic governor Andy Beshear ahead of the general election.[89]
