Most artists spend months teasing their new music, but Jack Harlow believes a few days is all it takes to build hype. The Grammy-nominated rapper announced the release of his surprise album Jackman, set to hit the shelves later this week.
The title of Harlow’s third studio album is a clear reference to his full name Jackman Thomas Harlow. He shared nothing but its title, cover, and release date, but we won’t have to wait for long to learn more about it since it will be released on April 28 via Generation Now and Atlantic.
Jackman will be released less than a year since Harlow dropped his sophomore studio album Come Home the Kids Miss You, which hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart last May. He made quite a splash with its singles “Nail Tech” and “First Class”, with the latter hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming his first solo song to do so.
The announcement of Harlow’s new album comes as a shocker since it seemed he’s mostly been focusing on his acting career in recent months. He’ll make his acting debut in the upcoming remake of White Men Can’t Jump, and he’s also set to star in Doug Liman’s next film The Instigators alongside Matt Damon and Casey Affleck.
