Kanye West‘s recent return to social media isn’t solely about tearing into enemies like adidas and Jerry Lorenzo.
In his latest post on Friday (January 10), the Chicago native showed love to a fellow rapper he has previously crowned one of the “top five” artists in the game right now.

Posting on his Instagram Stories, Ye reshared Jack Harlow‘s new single “Tranquility,” which was originally released in late December and landed on streaming services earlier this week.
The track finds the Louisville native veering away from the catchier sounds of previous singles “Lovin On Me” and “Hello Miss Johnson” and spitting some bars over a sparse, skeletal beat.

“Y’all boys lame shit killing me / Need to be reintroduced to humility / I ain’t lookin for no Hip Hop credibility / Give a fuck who feelin me, I’m feelin me,” he brags.
Missionary Jack also drops a hint about his upcoming album, rapping: “Last project I was giving you conceptual / Next project I’ll be giving you exceptional.”
Kanye isn’t the only Hip Hop figure who is a fan of the song, with the likes of Ludacris, Boi-1da, Ferg (f.k.a. A$AP Ferg), CyHi The Prynce and Gillie Da Kid praising it on Jack’s Instagram page.
The Yeezy mogul previously heaped high praise on Harlow in 2022 following the release of his single “Nail Tech.”

“This n-gga can raaaaaaap bro And I’m saying n-gga as a compliment Top 5 out right now,” he wrote on social media.
Jack, who has cited Ye as one of his biggest idols, replied: “This right here…is one of the greatest moments of my entire life. Glad y’all all get front row seats to it…suddenly all the hate means nothing…imagine your hero saying this about you…I could cry.”
The pair later worked together on “Louie Bags” from Kanye’s Donda 2 album, which has yet to receive an official release.
The project arrived exclusively through West’s Stem Player but was largely unfinished and met with largely negative reviews.

The controversial rap legend is currently hard at work on his next solo album Bully, which is expected to be released at some point this year.
It’ll serve as the follow-up to his two Vultures collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign which both arrived last year, although it’s unclear if a third installment is still happening.
