The Louisville native could not focus on the film, though. His phone continually vibrated with people chattering across the internet about his “Dark Knight” music video.
“I’ve networked with anyone who would shake my hand,” says Harlow, recalling his days of fast food labor and nights at open mics. “I have a fear of not reaching my potential.

It drives me all the time.”Harlow says he had a premonition that his ambition would translate to commercial success, but the Louisville-bred rapper was not prepared for this much, this soon: In the last two years, he’s earned approximately 1 billion Spotify streams of his breakout hit “Whats Poppin” and 765 million for “Industry Baby.
