Jackman Thomas Harlow (born March 13, 1998) is an American rapper and singer. He began his recording career in 2015, and released several EPs and mixtapes until signing with Don Cannon and DJ Drama's record label Generation Now, an imprint of Atlantic Records in 2018.
Harlow's mainstream breakthrough came with the release of his 2020 single "Whats Poppin". Aided by its popularity on TikTok and subsequent remix featuring rappers DaBaby, Tory Lanez, and Lil Wayne, it peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100, received diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was nominated for Best Rap Performance at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. The song preceded his debut studio album, Thats What They All Say (2020), which received double platinum certification by the RIAA and foresaw his inclusion on that year's 2020 Freshman Class list for XXL magazine. In 2021, Harlow guest appeared on Lil Nas X's single "Industry Baby", which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100. His second and third albums, Come Home the Kids Miss You (2022) and Jackman (2023), both debuted within the Billboard 200's top ten. The former was supported by his second Billboard Hot 100-number one single, "First Class". In 2023, he guest performed on Jungkook's single "3D", which peaked at number five, while his own single, "Lovin on Me", became his third number-one song on the chart.
Harlow has received numerous accolades, including Top New Artist at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards. That same year, he was named Variety's "Hitmaker of the Year" and was included in Forbes 30 Under 30. He made his acting debut as Jeremy in the 2023 remake of the 1992 film White Men Can't Jump, directed by Calmatic.
