What Louisville, Kentucky references are in Jack Harlow's music? Here's the breakdown

From Shelby County to Louisville and back again, Jack Harlow doesn't shy away from bringing Kentucky to the masses.

For a city already on the map for the Kentucky Derby, Louisville Slugger and bourbon, the scruffy lyricist raised by the Highlands has taken shout-outs in music to a different plane. It's the way Harlow does so, however, that makes his catalog that much more enticing to Louisvillians and fans around the world.

Who else could top charts while mentioning Vincenzo's or UPS workers? He even had rap immortal Drake name drop the Derby in "Churchill Downs," the video for which they filmed at the 148th Run for the Roses.

True to Derby City's local flavor in a way only he can be, he's made rounds at Jefferson County Public Schools, the district from where he graduated from middle and high school. He's made Cards and Cats fans alike giddy with his apparel and friend choices.

Most recently, he brought the world's stage to his favorite cinema house, Baxter Avenue Theatres, for last week's premiere of his acting debut in Hulu's "White Men Can't Jump" remake.

It's clear that Louisville responds to Harlow (and likewise, Harlow to Louisville) in a way that maybe no other rapper can connect with his city − or any place for that matter.

East Coast rap had Biggie and Nas. West Coast rap had Tupac and Snoop Dogg. And in the same vein, Harlow's ensured that the banks of the Ohio River won't go dry in representation, making local Louisville mainstream.

The Courier Journal analyzed lyrics and music videos for nearly 150 songs, dating back to the 25-year-old's early mixtapes created at Highland Middle School all the way up to his April release of "Jackman."

Counting Harlow's songs, featured credentials, music videos and cameos, the Courier Journal created the most comprehensive database of explicit Louisville or Kentucky references in his music available to the public, complete with five graphics to explain.
