8/10
Jack Harlow is a rapper from Louisville, Kentucky. After dropping "What's Poppin" and "Way Out", he seemed like he was on the way to being one of the best rappers in 2020. This album is nice, but it's relationship centric. That's not his comfort zone. It's a lot of getting dissed and crooning wasn't in his image with his singles. It would be like if the first single from Take Care was "Started From The Bottom". Jack Harlow is extremely talented. He is connected to hip hop culture and earned his stripes legitimately. He is a fantastic rapper, but none of the songs on his album are at the level of his singles. He isn't as smooth as Drake. This album is decent, but I think we can expect big things from his sophomore album.
