Jack Harlow is getting pretty good at this whole PR thing.

The Louisville-based, 24-year-old rapper is set to release his second studio album, Come Home the Kids Miss You, this Friday, May 6, just one day before the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby. On Tuesday, Harlow teased the tracklist for the album, and one song, in particular, has caught the eye of the Bluegrass. The 10th track on his upcoming 15-track album is titled “Churchill Downs” and includes a feature appearance from award-winning artist Drake.

If you’re an internet sleuth much like myself, you might have seen a “leaked” version of a song with both Harlow and Drake titled Have a Turn pop up in the last week or so, however, that song does not appear to have made the final cut. Or perhaps they simply changed the name of it following news of the leak. Who knows. Either way, I am very excited for this album to drop…

Harlow expects to be at Churchill Downs in Louisville for the actual Kentucky Derby, where he will announce the traditional “Riders up” call before the race begins. The Grammy-nominated artist has been a star in the making for a couple of years now and Come Home the Kids Miss You is his most highly-anticipated project yet. Some of you might remember when Harlow made a guest appearance on KSR a little over two years ago where he talked about his Louisville fandom and his then brand new hit single What’s Poppin.

He does have a tie to the Kentucky Wildcats, though. Good friends with former UK shooting guard and current Miami Heat third-year pro, Tyler Herro, Harlow blew up with another hit single, which was aptly named after Herro. In April, it was announced that Harlow would make his acting debut in an upcoming reboot of the 1992 film White Men Can’t Jump. His most recent single, First Class, which will be on the upcoming album, became his second Billboard Hot 100 number one hit.
