SU junior Aryaan Anandįreshmen Glevince Molenje and Nicole Holmes said they haven’t bought their ticket to Juice Jam yet, but won’t be missing out on the experience.

I wasn't able to go my freshman year, so I'm ready to see what the hype is about. She said that B.o.B is a “random addition” to the lineup because he “hasn’t been popular for a while.” “I didn’t even know he was still doing performances.”ī.o.B hasn’t placed on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart since his 2014 song “Not for Long,” leaving Bollmann curious about B.o.B’s contribution to this year’s concert. Seeing B.o.B on the lineup shocked Paula, who said she hadn’t heard new music from the Atlanta artist since elementary school. Most students may not be familiar with his recent album, “Lost Tapes,” but nevertheless, they are drawn in by the sentimentality of his past. B.o.B is widely known for his smash hit “Airplanes,” which peaked at number two on Billboard’s Hot 100 in 2010 and featured Hayley Williams. “If it was the opposite I would definitely go, without a question,” Paula said.īut some students feel that the Juice Jam lineup is a perfect balance between modern notoriety and throwback nostalgia. “Honestly, anything UU does is pretty impressive.”įor freshman Wilson Paula, Harlow does not compare to some of Juice Jam’s past headliners, including 21 Savage, who Paula said has a more established audience and “name for himself.” “I was surprised because Jack Harlow is a little bit more up and coming … and it’s post-COVID,” senior Giulia Kean said. Many students commended UU for organizing a strong lineup within the limitations of the pandemic. Hurless expressed a similar sentiment to other sophomores in that she doesn’t have expectations for Sunday since this is her first time in attendance. “His songs have been in the top charts recently, so I think that’s going to appeal to a lot of students.”įreshman Lola Bollmann recognized Harlow’s “fresh” addition to the lineup while other students were infatuated with the appearance of such a popular rapper.

“Jack Harlow is a really big name right now,” Hurless added. Even though Harlow is relatively new to mainstream hip-hop after breaking out with his hit single “WHATS POPPIN” in 2020, his ubiquitous persona does a great job at turning strangers into listeners, sophomore Fiona Hurless said. Jack Harlow will headline the annual concert, while B.o.B, Nuna and Miller will join the rapper on Skytop as supporting acts.
