“If I’d have never hit rock bottom / Would I be the person that I am today? I don’t believe so,” NF reflects.
It’s a reflection of the 32-year-old rapper’s past and a declaration of the lessons he has learned. NF released the titular track “HOPE” Feb. “I was having a mental breakdown,” NF said in an interview with NME. Similar to “The Search” from his 2019 album, “HOPE” exposes NF’s struggles with mental health, including anxiety and self-hatred. In his latest album, several songs including “LET ‘EM PRAY” and “HOPE” reference his faith. NF released 13 new songs with his Eminem-esque style of rap to “HOPE.” Although he doesn’t describe his music as Christian rap, his songs have appeared on Christian music charts.
This is NF’s fifth studio album, having gained popularity through his song “Let You Down” which came out in 2017 and now has over 235 million views on YouTube. Rapper Nate Feuerstein, known on-stage as NF, released his album “HOPE” April 7, bringing refreshing authenticity and raw vulnerability to his music.
