Jack Harlow is facing some serious allegations from LA rapper and crip-affiliate Glasses Malone. On Monday (Mar.16), Glasses Malone hopped on X, sharing a photo of the album cover to Harlow’s latest project, Monica. According to the outspoken rapper, Harlow’s new Soulquarian-inspired aesthetic is a form of “modern blackface.” On the cover, Harlow dons a brown newsboy cap, shades, and a brown, corduroy sweater.
Monica and its surrounding rollout have sparked a lot of discussion online. The rapper seems to have entered a new phase. Unlike his previous work, Harlow made a bold shift by adopting a more early 2000s Neo-Soul-inspired sound. Similarly, with his style, he’s swapped out his sneakers and designer T-shirts for a more relaxed look—think Common in the early 2000s—complete with a flat cap and oversized jeans.
