Jack Harlow‘s debut album That’s What They All Say is coming out this Friday and to help hype the release, he and Big Sean buy out the bar to celebrate in the raucous video for its latest single “Way Out.” Over the course of their high-speed verses, Jack and Sean detail their relations with their exes and flirt with women from Harlow’s tour bus, while the video plays with freeze-frame shots of the bar while they turn up — a la Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell’s The Other Guys.

Harlow surprised fans with the release date announcement last week after enjoying a breakout year that saw him reach No. 2 on the Hot 100 with “What’s Poppin,” speak out against police brutality at the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards, and make a new friend in the NBA with “Tyler Herro” (one he might need after accidentally putting Lou Williams on blast during the NBA’s bubble season when Williams hit up Magic City in Atlanta for wings). With the year he’s had, there’s little doubt That’s What They All Say will receive a warm reception on Friday.

Watch the “Way Out” video above.

That’s What They All Say is due 12/11 via Atlantic Records. Pre-save it here.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

“Hey guys, got something to share. One last thing. Hope it doesn’t bum you out. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to rock the stage tomorrow at #Chicago Jingle Ball. My sincere apologies—I was really looking forward to seeing you all. I promise to make it up to you during the Chicago stops of my tour early next year. Stay tuned for details. BUT!!!!! My amazing brother/boss, Lil Wayne AKA the GOAT, stepped up for me so I wouldn’t have to delay my album. Catch him tomorrow at the Chicago show. I’m STILL performing at the #Atlanta Jingle Ball on the 14th and now added to the lineup for the #Miami Jingle Ball on the 16th. Album STILL dropping this FRIDAY. Thank you. Love you,” Minaj shared on Twitter.

Minaj, who has been building anticipation for Pink Friday 2 for months, previously hinted that the album holds one of her “best-kept secrets.” In a candid November post, she disclosed, “Last night when all the world was sleeping, I was up…missing you…a painful amount of missing you…listening to the intro track on #PinkFriday2…I wrote it for you. On Dec. 8th…when the clock strikes 12, one of my best-kept secrets & proudest moments will be unveiled.”
