The Untold Truth Of Jack Harlow

When it comes to self-promotion, Jack Harlow is something of an evangelist for his own music. "I'm in the business of turning skeptics to believers," he told Complex. However, the audacity of that statement is tempered with the recognition that as his fame has grown, so too have the misconceptions about him. "I think people right now have me boxed in as the white boy who can really rap," he said, insisting that while that is indeed what he's becoming known for, it's far from all he wants to achieve in showbiz. "I think people are unaware of my musical range," he said, adding that he's "excited for more of my music to spread its wings and get credit for that breadth and that range."

In order to achieve that, Harlow is embarking on a simple but effective strategy of demonstrating all that he's capable of. While he admitted he'd "really gotten to a place where it's almost comfortable to be misunderstood a little bit," he also realizes that "authenticity resonates with people."

According to hip-hop DJ and music exec Don Cannon, who signed Harlow to his Generation Now record label, that was a lesson he taught the rapper early on. "Nobody really knows who you are," Cannon told GQ of what he told Harlow when he was first signed. "We have to know who you are, whether we like it or not. Whatever comes out, that's going to be our truth."
