Kanye West is back on social media, but instead of feuding, he’s spotlighting talent. Recently, he gave a nod to a rapper he considers top-tier.
In a recent Instagram Story, Kanye West shared his appreciation for Jack Harlow’s latest track, “Tranquility.” Released in December, the song has made waves on streaming platforms. Harlow, known for his catchy tunes, switches it up with a minimalist beat and intense lyrics.
The Louisville rapper’s shift in style is evident as he raps, “Y’all boys lame shit killing me / Need to be reintroduced to humility / I ain’t lookin for no Hip Hop credibility / Give a fuck who feelin me, I’m feelin me.” The bold tone hints at his next album, promising something exceptional for fans.
Kanye’s support isn’t isolated. Hip hop figures like Ludacris, Boi-1da, Ferg, CyHi The Prynce, and Gillie Da Kid have also praised “Tranquility” on social media. This isn’t the first time Kanye has praised Harlow; he hyped him up in 2022 for his single “Nail Tech.”
Kanye’s admiration for Harlow even led to their collaboration on “Louie Bags” from Donda 2. However, Donda 2 faced criticism due to its incomplete release, distributed via West’s Stem Player.
Despite the setbacks with Donda 2, Kanye is deep into his upcoming album “Bully.” It will be a follow-up to his past collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign. Fans await its release to see what new sounds Kanye will bring, especially after his public affirmations for fellow artists like Harlow.
Harlow’s response to Kanye’s praise was heartfelt. He expressed his gratitude on social media, saying it was a pivotal moment in his career. “Imagine your hero saying this about you,” he remarked, indicating the profound impact Kanye’s words had on him.
Kanye West’s endorsement of Jack Harlow reaffirms his influence in the music industry. By spotlighting Harlow, Kanye not only elevates a fellow rapper but continues to shape hip hop’s evolving landscape.
