Jack Harlow dropped a banger just in time for the weekend.

The Louisville native released a new song Friday with DJ Drama, and it includes several references to Kentucky — including name-dropping Sen. Mitch McConnell and Shiraz, a local Mediterranean restaurant.

The track's name is a reference to the city as well — it's titled "Mockingbird Valley," a nod to the upscale Louisville neighborhood and popular indoor soccer club. At one point in the song he says outside of his busy life on tour, he's "playing indoor soccer and going to Target."

The track is two and a half minutes and discusses at a couple points how far he has come since getting his start in the Bluegrass State. The rapper's turn as costar of the upcoming "White Men Can't Jump" remake notes his time in Hollywood "turned me right into a multi-hyphenate."

His new track comes almost a year after he dropped his album "Come Home the Kids Miss You," which was also stacked with Louisville references. "Mockingbird Valley" is included on DJ Drama's new compilation "I'm Really Like That."
