Jack Harlow kicks off a New Year with latest single ‘Tranquility’.

The American artist finished 2024 on a high, sharing his song ‘Hello Miss Johnson’. For all his success, however, Jack Harlow has found intense online criticism – and he responds to it on his new song.

Leaning into 2025, ‘Tranquility’ is a pensive return, the spartan arrangement making way for some potent, highly revealing verses.

Discussing the continual debate over his authenticity within hip-hop, the Kentucky rapper responds: “I ain’t lookin’ for no hip-hop credibility.”

Matched to a pared back video, the song finds Jack Harlow at his most ruthlessly honest: “I’m proud of what we done, but I’m tryna be better though/’Cause I don’t think I’ve really made nothin’ incredible… Lot of hard verses and a couple regrettable/As far as big records go, yeah, I got a few of those.”

Tune in now.
