Jack Harlow Delivers A Quick-Change Performance Of ‘Rendezvous/Way Out’ On ‘The Tonight Show’

After making his television debut on The Tonight Show earlier this year, Jack Harlow returns to close out the year, way more successful and with his debut album in tow. In the months since his first appearance, Harlow was featured on XXL‘s 2020 Freshman cover, went No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the “What’s Poppin” remix, and appeared on the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards alongside Chika, Polo G, and Rapsody. Last night, he graced the set of Fallon’s show with a pair of pre-recorded performances forming a medley of album cut “Rendezvous” and single “Way Out.”

In the first half, Harlow performs the nostalgic “Rendezvous” from his childhood bedroom (or a passable likeness thereof), decorated with rap posters including the cover of his album, That’s What They All Say. In the second, the scene shifts to the floor of a circus tent, highlighting the parallel change in his situation from dreaming about rap stardom to joining the big show. As he raps “Way Out,” dancers contort and pose behind him, giving the performance the air of more elaborate staging and further underlining how impressive his come-up has been.

Watch Jack Harlow’s Tonight Show performance above.

That’s What They All Say is out now on Atlantic Records. Get it here.

Kay Onishi drops dark synth-trap banger on latest release “30 SECOND RULING”

Kay Onishi is aggressive and unapologetic on “30 SECOND RULING,” a song powered by dark synth-trap production, striking piano melodies, and heavy female rap delivery. The track is built on the idea of a turning point that can change everything, pouring confrontation, sarcasm, and urgency into a powerful musical statement.

What makes “30 SECOND RULING” compelling is how its musical elements support its attitude. The low-end heaviness gives it weight, the percussion keeps the rhythm crisp, and the piano offers a melodic thread that slices through the darkness. Together, they give Kay Onishi room to deliver a performance that is both controlled and explosive.

Kay Onishi’s “30 SECOND RULING” blends dark production, stark musical contrasts, and unapologetic expression. The song captures the frustration of being judged in the heat of the moment and turns that tension into a statement of defiance.
