Jack Harlow, "Tyler Herro" [📷 : Generation Now / Atlantic]Ascending rapper Jack Harlow drops another irresistible banger with the short but sweet (and potent) “Tyler Herro.”

“I “I brought a gang to the party with me / Five white boys, but they not NSYNC.” 🎙 Jack Harlow is ‘instant offense’… at least when it comes to rap.  2020 saw the rapper’s star rise exponentially, and for good reason.  Keeping his game in tip-top shape, Harlow drops another instant hit, 🎵 “Tyler Herro,” named after Kentucky Wildcat standout and NBA baller, 🏀 Tyler Herro. Not only is Herro a “bucket” himself, so is the song named after him.

“Tyler Herro” may be short (not the player, who is a solid 6’5”), but it’s definitely a sweet banger from Jack.  “My homeboy Tyler, he play in South Beach,” Harlow asserts on the verse, continuing, “He told me this summer he gon’ fix my jumper.” Herro would definitely be the one to do so given his skills from beyond the arc.  Additionally, Harlow shouts out producer 🎙 Boi-1da (“I told Boi-1da that we might got a thumper / I been tryna pop, now I’m on like 🏀 Shumpert”), who, alongside a list of producers (🎙 Neenyo, 🎙 Jahaan Sweet, 🎙 Scott Storch), stitches up the track nicely.  #BANGER


Final Thoughts 💭

Jack Harlow continues to have an amazing year in 2020, period.  “Tyler Herro” gives the ascending rapper another awesome hit.  Harlow is confident AF, has a killer flow boding in his favor, and backed by banging production.  Short but sweet, this banger definitely packs a punch, much like the young rising NBA star and Harlow himself.
