“I mean, I’m a Christian, but I’m just an artist,” he said. Perhaps in an effort not to be pigeonholed, NF distanced himself from the term for years, telling Idolator in a 2016 interview that while he “(talks) about my faith” in his music, he “wouldn’t describe himself” as a Christian rapper. NF signed to Capitol Christian Music Group in 2014, raising an important question about whether he positions himself as a Christian rapper or identifies as one.
He released his debut album “Moments” in 2010 as an independent artist. The 28-year-old rapper was born Nathan Feuerstein in Gladwin, Michigan. Mainstream hip-hop fans might not understand how NF’s “The Search,” which had no significant media push around it, topped “The Big Day,” an album that saw Chance partnering with Lyft and giving major interviews in support of the release.īut NF is no stranger to the top of the charts, and while Chance’s first-week success for “The Big Day” was largely driven by streaming, NF’s fans flocked to the iTunes store to buy the album, with traditional sales driving his big numbers for “The Search.” So who is NF?
Meet NF, a rapper with a much lower profile than Chance’s, with a devoted fan base that propelled his release "The Search" to the top of the charts. What’s likely an even bigger surprise is who beat him out. 1 spot on Billboard’s albums chart this week. In what may be a surprise to many music fans, the new album by the beloved hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper, “The New Day,” was edged out of the No.
