[Lyrics from Snippet]

[Verse 1]
When I was 12, I created a dream and told myself that rap was all that I need
You put a knife in my heart, I swear to God, music is all that I bleed

[Verse 2]
I don't hide behind beats, I am raw, listen
These beats hide behind me, y'all are all trippin'
I cut 'em open, I let 'em leak, I'm what you call vicious
A boss with it, I write a song with my arms missin'
That's off-of-the-top music, I am bar rippin'
Y'all lookin' for lukewarm rhymes, you're in the wrong kitchen
I'm known as a lot of things, but calm isn't one of them
I'm close to the music, never been long distance
The industry had the doors locked, but I barged in it
I don't belong here? Ah, who are y'all kiddin'?
You against me, you're all victims, all thinkin' the

NF

NF (stylized as ИF), real name Nathan Feuerstein (pronounced “fire-STINE”), is a rapper and songwriter from the small town of Gladwin, Michigan. As a child, Nate’s parents went through a divorce, where he would then live with his mother. Later on, Nate’s life started getting more difficult whenever his mother’s boyfriend started physically abusing him. However, the most traumatic event in Nate’s life was finding his mother dead from a drug overdose.

During the hard times of his life, Nate would fall back on music to escape from the world and express himself freely by writing music and then recording it on his karaoke machine with instrumentals playing in the background. In 2008, Nate participated in the Fine Arts Festival rap competition.

In 2010, he released his first album, Moments, independently. The album got him a record deal with Xist Music in 2012, with a new stage name, NF. Nate released two songs with Xist, and an EP was announced, but never released because he decided to leave the label (however, most of these songs can be found online). NF starting working with fellow Michigan producer, Tommee Profitt, searching for a new label.
