Sweet Action

Overview:
Sweet Action is a seven-track EP Jack Harlow released on March 13, 2020 — his 22nd birthday — and it served as the breakout vehicle that put him in the mainstream, anchored by the viral single “WHATS POPPIN.” The short, punchy project blends club-ready bangers with a few introspective moments and helped transition Harlow from mixtape buzz to chart success.

Recording History:
Publicly available credits list a roster of contemporary hip‑hop producers rather than a single studio—most prominently jetsonmade, Pooh Beatz, LosTheProducer, 2forwOyNE, Jenius and CuBeatz across the seven tracks. Specific studio locations, session dates, and full engineering/mixing credits for the EP’s sessions are not broadly documented in press sources; Harlow and press noted the project came together over roughly six months before release. Notable production collaborators and per‑track producer breakdowns are listed in published credits.

Chart Performance & Recognition:
Sweet Action charted on the Billboard 200 (peaking in the top‑20 region according to chart histories) and functioned primarily as the launching pad for “WHATS POPPIN,” which — after a star remix — reached No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. “WHATS POPPIN” earned a Grammy nomination (Best Rap Performance) and, years later, reached Diamond certification in the U.S. (RIAA). Contemporary reviews were generally favorable, noting Harlow’s charisma and ear for concise, catchy songs.

Cultural Impact & Legacy:
The EP’s lead single became a TikTok and radio staple, its Cole Bennett video and later remix (DaBaby, Tory Lanez, Lil Wayne) amplifying Harlow’s profile; the song has since been included on his debut LP and amassed massive streaming/certification milestones. Sweet Action is today remembered less as a long-form statement than as the concise milestone that elevated Harlow into mainstream visibility. Trivia: the EP dropped deliberately on his birthday, and the project later saw a first-time vinyl pressing/reissue in 2025.
