Known for his lyrical wordplay and dark honesty, NF packs a lot of emotion into every line.

I know this prolly isn’t really realistic

And honestly I might never make a difference

But that don’t make a difference I’ma have to risk it

I been crunching numbers you ain’t gotta be a mathematician

To see the odds ain’t rootin for me

I can’t lie though that’s kinda how I like to be

The underdog yeah you prolly think you know what I mean

But what I’ma saying is they ever push me I’ma gonna swing

The Search is NF’s fourth full-length album. It follows the independently released Perception (NF Real Music/Caroline), which took the music industry by surprise when fans propelled it to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 upon its release. Also topping Billboard’s Top Rap Albums and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, Perception was the ultimate underdog story of 2017, as chronicled by The New York Times , Rolling Stone and Forbes , with the latter noting, “NF’s success speaks to what can be done these days outside of the traditional system.”

Now certified Platinum in the U.S., Perception has earned more than two million album equivalent units worldwide while cumulative streams have surpassed 3.5 billion. Singles like “Let You Down” – 3x Platinum and a No. 1 Pop radio hit in the U.S., and certified Platinum or higher in seven additional countries – “Lie” and “If You Want Love” further expanded NF’s fanbase, paving the way for his sold-out, 87-date 2018 Perception World tour of North America and Europe, numerous festival appearances and the direct support slot on Logic’s Bobby Tarantino Vs Everybody arena tour.
