On the eve of the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby, Louisville native and rapper, 24-year-old Jack Harlow dropped his new album- "Come Home the Kids Miss You." The project hit streaming sites on May 6th, one day before the May 7th Derby at the Churchill Downs horse-racetrack in Louisville.
Harlow's album includes the Drake-assisted song "Churchill Downs," in which the two rappers share lyrics of introspection before Drake wraps up the more than five minute track with...
"Kentucky derby races, my presence in the spot is so abrasive. Box at the Churchill Downs, that's motivation, yeah. And shorty like, "You know that boy Jack is goin' places."
The lyrics in Drake's verse were a prelude to what was to come. Both artists were caught on camera at Churchill Downs on Derby day, along with comedian Druski and Louisville singer Bryson Tiller, reportedly filming the music video for their new song. In addition to shooting the visual, Harlow also hit the red carpet with other celebrities who were in Louisville for the "Run for the Roses." Harlow also made the “Riders Up!" call for jockeys to mount their horses before the race. Meanwhile, while at The Derby, Drake who admitted to being drunk on live TV, playfully teased the NBC Sports crew, who were trying to wrap up an interview with Harlow...
“You can’t give it the wrap it up signal. What are you gonna cut to? What are you gonna cut to? A shot of like poorly manicured grass, or something,” said Drake.
