Harlow was born and raised in Louisville. Harlow began rapping at age 12. He and a friend used a Guitar Hero microphone and a laptop to record rhymes and songs. They made a CD entitled Rippin' and Rappin' and sold copies at their school (Highland Middle School).

The song would become the lead single off Harlow's mixtape Gazebo, which was released in November 2017. He went on a 14-city Gazebo Tour in support of the album. The Homies opened for Harlow, and the tour ended in January 2018. In May 2018, Harlow opened for indie rock band, Portugal. The Man on select tour dates.

The song "Luv Is Dro" by Jack Harlow, Static Major, and Bryson Tiller talks about a sensual encounter between two lovers. The lyrics suggest that the male protagonist is trying to create an intimate atmosphere by turning off the lights, lighting a candle, and admiring his partner's beauty. The phrase "Luv Is Dro" in the title refers to a drug-like sensation that the singer experiences when he is with his lover. He wants to take things slow and savour the moment, giving their love time to blossom.
The verses are mostly sung by Bryson Tiller, who croons about making love slowly and sensually, taking his time to enjoy every moment. He praises his partner's skills in bed, acknowledging that she knows how to ride him, but also wants to take his time with her. The chorus is a repetitive phrase, "That's that sh*t I like," which indicates that the singer is enjoying the moment and is happy to be with his lover.
The song has a laid-back, smooth R&B vibe, with a slow, mellow beat and silky-smooth vocals. The lyrics are explicit but not vulgar, and the song has a romantic feel to it. Overall, "Luv Is Dro" is a seductive and soulful ode to love and intimacy.

@johnfran3218
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"Arab uprising will spark global unrest – Italy will trigger fall out"
"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"
