NF music always have substance and he doesn't have to use profanity to spread his word but at the end of most of all his songs he makes you feel something deep within your soul
You are not wrong. Nate Feuerstein (pronounced "FIRE-stine") started rapping when he was 12 years old and his mom got him the 8 Mile movie. He didn't listen to anyone but Eminem for 4 years! He is also from Michigan, but not from Detroit - a small town a few hours away called Gladwin. He is very intentional, and all of his albums tie together sequentially to tell his story. I have been a superfan since 2016, and as soon as his second album came out I could tell he was tying things together so I started making a list of the NF Journey/Cinematic Universe. All of his music videos are like movies! Here is the list, up-to-date through his most recent release. It has some tips and tricks, but no spoilers! I hate it when people do that haha I know it looks like a lot but don't be overwhelmed and don't feel like you have to do it. It's your channel, of course! Continued in separate comment...
Subbed for more NF. This is an Intro to the Clouds album. None of the Intros on any album have a chorus. They all also have cinematic beats, haunting choirs, big beat drops, fast rapping and orchestras. Although after the third album NF quit calling Intros. You have no idea the can of kick-ass music you just opened. With NF it more about deep bars and the real, as opposed to clever and complex bars although has some of those too like in this with the wisdom teeth. He also has deep hidden meanings if every song and video. This one is a metaphor about how he dropped in on the rap scene uninvited, and he is crashing the party.
He's hard, he's deep, he's real, he's humble, and he has a message of making it through tough times. On top of that, NF experiments visually to convey the message in videos also. Then, as you go through his library, you will hear connections to past songs and realize lyrics in past songs reveal future songs. Go back to Mansion.
Nice reaction. To get a better feel try these two tracks off of his Clouds mixtape. 1. Lost featuring Hopsin 3. Trust featuring Tech N9ne And try Real. After that start the journey from the beginning. I'll sub for more NF.
Continued... The NF Cinematic Universe / Journey: *Always watch NF videos until the very end, or you may miss something* *When you pause, go back 5-10 seconds before resuming, or you may miss something* The ones that say "(Video)" have official music videos on NF's channel. I noted links to lyric videos for the ones that don't have official music videos. Enjoy...he's about to get you all up in your feelings!

Listen in order of the official tracklist on the album - Nate is very intentional and he puts things together in a certain way for good reasons. ------------------------------ Album: Hope Released: April 7, 2023 Hope, Motto, and Happy all have official music videos. Hope, Mama, and Running all tie directly to The Journey, but again the whole album is hot! And again, listen in order according to the official album tracklist. ------------------------------
@ImaCatMaia ayo, truly appreciate the comment and the chronology of NF. This is a big help for me to choose a starting point to go in sequential order. Thank you very much. Stay tuned for more NF.
Nice. I'm going to do you a favor here and save you a lot of frustration. If you're going to do NF, do it in order and do the journey because a lot of the songs and videos build on each other and if you watch something last year it's not going to make sense because you'll need a Eastrr egg from a previous video. Just Google for NF journey and you'll find playlists or just do every song in order because there's a lot of great songs that aren't on the journey. ❤
@karalangenberg1124 more NF on the way. I been told I should go in order so the songs you suggested on your other comment will definitely get done. Not sure where they fall in the journey, but I will get to them. Thanks for the suggestions.
