This platinum-selling Michigan rapper, unafraid to dig deep into past traumas … no, not that one … NF is bringing his “Hope” tour to Orlando Friday.
Though NF (né Nathan Feuerstein) came to fame in Christian music, the rapper says he is neither a worship artist nor a Christian rapper — “I started out in the Christian space,” he said in an interview this year, “but I didn’t really like it … it’s not where I see myself today” — despite being signed to a Christian record label, and still counting many fans in that world.
Contradictions like this often make for great music, and NF’s shelf-full of Grammy noms, healthy sales and Billboard chart-toppers attest to this. The august NME music mag praises NF’s latest album, Hope, as the artist documenting “his ongoing mental health journey with brutal, utterly unbridled honesty.”
