Jack Harlow Applies Pressure With ‘FIRST CLASS' Sampled From A Fergie Classic


Jack Harlow’s brand new single ‘First Class’ brilliantly samples Fergie’s classic 2006 hit, ‘Glamorous’, paying homage to both her and Ludacris when he says “are you ready”.


‘First Class’ has already become a viral trend on Tik Tok only days after Jack teased a snippet of the song from the studio. ‘The song follows previous single ‘Nail Tech’ to land as the second taste of Jack’s highly-anticipated new album, COME HOME THE KIDS MISS YOU, which arrives everywhere May 6.


Harlow styles out on the track with his nonchalant laid back flow and clever word play on the melody. He even makes a reference to Angus Cloud who stars in hit TV drama Euphoria.



Ahead of the release of ‘First Class’, Harlow also took the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards by storm as one of the most talked about artists of the night, thanks to his ‘best-dressed’ red carpet look and showstopping performance with Lil Nas X. He is also on the cover of the current issue of Rolling Stone. Read the full cover story here.


Harlow’s return comes after a blockbuster 2021, which saw the acclaimed rapper become a household name. In addition to gracing the cover of Variety, Forbes and Complex, he made his Saturday Night Live debut, performed with Lil Nas X at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, and attended the GQ Men Of The Year Awards in London,


He also headlined the BBC 1Xtra stage at Reading & Leeds Festival and played his first sold-out headline London show at Kentish Town Forum.


Harlow also cemented himself as one of music’s most dynamic live performers with standout performances at major US festivals including Lollapalooza, Rolling Loud and more, all before embarking on his sold-out, North American ‘Crème de la Crème Tour’. He wrapped up the year by returning to Louisville for his ‘No Place Like Home’ shows, which saw Harlow performing five unforgettable shows at five iconic venues in his hometown.


The Louisville-bred rapper also presented and performed at the 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards in the US, where he was nominated for Favourite Breakout Artist and ended up getting slimed.




The 23-year-old gave back to his hometown in 2021 too, with donations to five different organizations that benefit causes close to his heart: AMPED, The Center for Women and Families, Grace James Academy, Louisville Urban League & Metro United Way. Inspired by his initial individual efforts, Instagram and KFC joined Harlow in making additional donations to these organizations.
