Jack Harlow Sets the Record Straight With Gloomy ‘Tranquility’ Video: Watch

Jack Harlow has heard the critics, but he’s not going anywhere. The Louisville rapper capped off his 2024 with a final message to the fans as well as the opposition with the introspective “Tranquility,” which arrived on Sunday (Dec. 29).

Harlow also released a gloomy visual finding him walking around the city on a chilly, overcast day while bundled up in a pea coat and black scarf.

The 26-year-old seemingly addressed the criticism from his November cover of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling In Love” and relayed that he’s not seeking any validation from hip-hop.

“Y’all boys lame s–t killing me/ Need to be reintroduced to humility/ I ain’t lookin for no hip-hop credibility/ Give a f–k who feelin me, I’m feelin me/ I’m really him, I’m really that remedy/ Himothée Chalamet, pretty girls salivate/ On the low, off the grid, in the cut, out the way/ My prime’s in full swing like a Callaway,” he raps while referencing the A Complete Unknown star. He also shouts out Julie Greenwald, who left her position as CEO of Atlantic Music Group on Sept. 30, 2024: “Julie Greenwald asking if I’m on schedule / Label ready for the next record, I’ll let you know” (Harlow is signed to Generation Now, an imprint of Atlantic).

Despite the final day of Harlow’s inaugural Gazebo Festival being canceled due to inclement weather in May, which caused the rapper to allegedly lose a few million dollars, Missionary Jack plans to continue putting the fest on for his hometown of Louisville.

“People that betrayed me don’t even f—ing know that I know/ It’s something that I just file away/ Lost a few m’s on the festival/ Okay, and I can’t wait to do the second one,” Jack proclaimed.

Jack Harlow returned from hiatus to kick off the rollout of his next project with “Hello Miss Johnson” in November. The bossa nova-tinged single peaked at No. 85 on the Billboard Hot 100 and fans can expect plenty more from Harlow in 2025.
