Jack Harlow recently sat down with Rolling Stone and spoke on various topics about how he got into the rap game, sobriety and he also revealed the name of his album during the interview, ‘Come Home the Kids Miss You.’
The 24-year-old rapper says he never felt like he was addicted to drinking, but he wanted to focus more on his priorities.

“I’m sick of waking up with a dry throat, sick of feeling bloated, I’m sick of the decisions I make on it,” he said. “I’m in my well-oiled-machine era. Because I can see my future right in front of me. And I feel there’s so many people counting on me outside of myself.”
He added, “I just feel like I’m a man. I don’t feel like I need to do boyish things anymore.”
Back in August the rapper spoke on how he hadn’t “had a single sip of alcohol in 2021.”
“Going the rest of the year without it. Maybe I’ll never take another sip, who knows?” the rapper wrote at the time. “My favorite vice was definitely drinking (I don’t like to smoke) but if I learned anything this year it’s that I don’t need it.”
Harlow spoke on upbringing also and explained that he had offers on the table when he was in high school to sign a deal, but it never fell through.
“I got to go to public school. I got to go to parties. I got to lose my virginity in a normal way. A lot of dominoes had to fall the right way for me to be good at being a rapper,” he said.
He continued, “Because I’m still a white guy and I didn’t grow up poor. I had to get perspective to say things that could be universally relatable. I got to finish high school. I got to be regular. I got to be humbled. I got to dress poorly. I got to figure myself out.”
