Jack Parow is back armed with khaki pants and all! During his Spot the Tourist tour to Holland and Belguim in May and June respectively, he played to sold-out shows and plenty new fans. His Nag van die Lang Pette album peaked at the Number 2 position on Holland’s iTunes Hip Hop charts and nestled into the overall iTunes Top 30. His single, ‘P.A.R.T.Y.’, is also heating up the charts on Holland’s radio stations. After a well-deserved break to Vietnam, Jack is back in South Africa, klapping it big time Parow-style.
Parow had all his fans excited on his social networks when he posted this photo of the Top Gear legends gooing a dik Parow vibe – long caps, fat golden chains, and the works. Parow is the first local artist whose music was part of the Top Gear production. “It’s was such a honour, seeing as I’m also a massive fan of the show, and the guys were so blêrrie cool and made me feel so blêrrie cool as well,” he says of this experience.
Happy to be back, Parow gears up for his new tour Lekker by die See as well as upcoming music videos. As a ‘thank you’ to his fans for their continued support, Parow has been giving away gifts courtesy of his next-level sponsors. There are still gifts to be given away, so check out Jack Parow’s social networks.
‘Ode to You’, featuring Nonku, is Parow’s current single and it’s burning the airwaves country-wide. “I’m so happy that [its] doing so well. Nonku is amazing on it and literally wrote the chorus in studio and just killed it straight away. She was actually there to record for another song. So ja, THANX EVERYONE FOR THE SUPPORT!!” says Parow.
