Not more than a day since Jack Harlow released his new music, the budding rapper already got a huge co-sign from one hip-hop icon.

With his banger 2020 hit "WHAT'S POPPIN," Harlow is ushering a new season with his freshly released single, "Nail Tech," featuring an appearance with City Girl Young Miami.

Like any budding rapper or hip-hop artist in the music industry, they all look up to an icon/legend they have been greatly influenced by.

In this case, the Kentucky MC looked up to the person every 21st generation hip-hop artist idolizes, Kanye West.

Although controversial in the past few weeks because of his marriage fiasco with Kim Kardashian and SNL Mainstay Pete Davidson and gang up with Travis Scott, Billie Eilish, and Kid Cudi, Ye still had something good to say amid the drama he is embroiled in.

The new track goes unnoticed, especially by "DONDA" hitmaker Kanye West.
