NF has returned for the release of his fifth album titled Hope, illustrating yet again to his listeners that he is not afraid to speak his mind. This 13-track album incorporates rawness, grit and drive, something that listeners have clearly loved so far, with 32 million global streams flowing in within the album’s first week of release and debuting at number 28 on the US Top 200 Consumption Chart.

He initiates the album with Hope, a title to reflect the name of the album and the vulnerability and intimacy that can be found throughout, instantly allowing his fans to connect with what is being said. This in itself sets the mark with how ambitious NF aims to be within the album, illustrated consistently through the likes of Mama, an extremely sentimental song, Turn My Back, an intrinsically motivating element of the album, and the final song Running, which gives the whole album a cyclical vibe that will want you listening to it all over again.

With all the songs mentioned and without a doubt those in between, Michigan-born rapper allows his music to speak for itself, with the likelihood of another Platinum on the horizons and another outstanding album to add to your liked playlist.
