He has since appeared in different venues in his hometown to promote the new release. Harlow said in an interview:

“Coming from Louisville, we have a different appreciation for this level of success, and I refuse to fumble what I can see right in front of me. I'm sure you can see it too. Y'all will likely never get to see how much effort goes into this music.”

The line began growing before the event, with hundreds of fans waiting to see the rapper. It reached several blocks as people waited for over 24 hours to meet the artist.

Harlow also showed commitment to his supporters by staying an extra hour to meet them. One of his fans, Evan Olinger, drew his face using colored pencils. He said:

“I would love to get it signed, but if he wants it, I would give it to him just because he is a huge inspiration to me, and it would be really cool to have him own it.”
