NF's rise to fame...Nathan Feuerstein born on March 30 1991 in Michigan now
widely known as NF his raw dark sometimes spastic style has captivated a
growing fan base who connect with his deep pain depression and struggle that
he shows openly in his music NF has blown up over the last two to three
years going from virtually unknown to being one of the most popular Christian
rappers while barely being connected to the Christian hip-hop scene at all now
in just over three years he has built up over 500,000 YouTube subscribers and a
hundred to three hundred thousand on other social media platforms like
Twitter and Instagram he released his first album under his real name called
moments In late 2010 and then four years later released a self named EP
called NF under capital Christian music group and then in 2015 he released
his first album called mansion and in the following year after that he
released therapy session his biggest project to date selling reportedly a
hundred thousand copies and that could almost be at 200 thousand now and he
sold twenty five thousand copies in the first week now one of the biggest parts
of NF's success is his brand now music aside he or his marketing team probably
his marketing team are marketing geniuses he always has a black and white
themed promotion for social media posts which go together great with his dark
theme music and he often posts fairly rarely on social media which causes
massive anticipation for fans and a mystique around him which makes the next
post he does even more desirable now he often leaves Clues In his music they
all connect to some kind of puzzle he always puts out previews for the next
album or a new song coming out all comes together to make some kind of puzzle
which makes the fans go crazy and he often deletes the previews
a few hours after and on a personal level you know NF has help me through
things like depression I I definitely get why others feel that connection with
him as well because of the deep nature of his music he talks about his mom
being on drugs all the pain and hurt that he's been throughout his life and
you know I can definitely be heavy listening to NF sometimes you've gotta
be in that mood but there's a special connection that fans have with NF
that they don't have with other rappers or Christian rappers because of how deep
he goes how raw or quote-unquote real because his motto is real music and with
this next project coming out there is a lot of hype around it is a very high
expectation and personally I'm very excited to see how it turns out let me

gone a bit more detailed but it has literally been like three years we went

gist of it he's worked really hard to get where he is it's gonna be very
