“A

ll my brags turn to facts, all my hundreds turn to racks / All my ladies turn to snacks, SUVs, black on black.” Wow, that’s surefire confidence there, 🎙 Jack Harlow.  The Louisville, Kentucky-bred rapper joins forces with Memphis, Tennessee standout, 🎙 Pooh Shiesty on 🎵 “SUVs (Black on Black)”.  Harlow and Shiesty keep things short but engaging, entertaining, and enjoyable.

“SUVs (Black on Black)” offers nothing transcendent, but it bangs.  I love the Spanish cues that appear within the production on the intro.  Furthermore, that trap beat goes rock hard.  Producers 🎛 Go Grizzly and 🎛 Smash David fuel Harlow and Shiesty’s fire for sure.  Harlow kicks things off with an intro, the chorus, and confident, cocky rhymes throughout the first verse (“Now I call shots like I’m John Wooden (John Wooden)”). On the second verse, Shiesty compels with that Memphis accent and street-driven bars (“It’s sixty rounds under my chop, all my guns got extended mags”).


Final Thoughts 💭 

All and all, Jack Harlow and Pooh Shiesty make a fine team on the short but sweet “SUVs (Black on Black).” Again, there’s nothing transcendent or brand-new we haven’t heard elsewhere, but the results are successful.  “SUVs” is well-produced, confidently rhymed, and a banger worth adding to the listening rotation, particularly bumping it with the windows down in the ride!
