4	Jackman Thomas Harlow (born March 13, 1998), known professionally as Jack Harlow, is an American rapper from Louisville, Kentucky. After building a local buzz for much of TheNewTens, Harlow began rising to national fame in 2018-19 with his mixtapes ''Loose'' and ''Confetti''. In 2020, he broke through into the mainstream with his hit single "WHAT'S POPPIN", which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, following it up with his debut album ''Thats What They All Say''. Going into TheNewTwenties, he solidified himself in mainstream hip-hop, scoring his first Billboard No. 1 hit in 2021 as a feature on Music/LilNasX's "INDUSTRY BABY", and following it up with his solo tracks "Nail Tech" and "First Class", the latter becoming his first solo Hot 100 No. 1, along with collaborations with hip-hop icons such as Music/KanyeWest and {{Music/Drake}}.

30	** "Baxter Avenue", from ''Thats What They All Say'', named after a Louisville street known for its nightlife. Though it has a NonAppearingTitle, it essentially tells the story of his upbringing.
31	** "Churchill Downs", from ''Come Home, The Kids Miss You''.
32	** "Denver", from ''Jackman.'' While the song itself only name-drops Denver, its video shows Harlow cruising by many spots well-known to locals.
