With albums like Perception, The Search, and HOPE, multi-Platinum rapper and producer NF has built a career around emotional honesty — taking listeners through raw, deeply personal chapters of his life. Now, he enters a new one with FEAR, a six-song EP released today via NF Real Music LLC / Capitol Music Group.

Fans can stream FEAR now, and physical versions — including vinyl and limited signed CDs — are available on his official store.

A Cinematic Rollout & Visual Storytelling

NF has always paired his music with striking visuals, and FEAR is no exception. Two official music videos — for the title track “FEAR” and closing track “WASHED UP” — premiered today, adding another layer to the EP’s emotional impact.

Throughout the rollout, fans noticed visual callbacks to earlier eras. The EP cover — a grand structure engulfed in flames — echoes the imagery of NF’s 2015 album Mansion, suggesting a full-circle moment in his artistic journey. In just two weeks, teaser content for FEAR surpassed 22 million views, proving just how engaged his fanbase remains.

Collaborations That Hit Deep

The EP features two major collaborations:

“SORRY” – featuring James Arthur
“WHO I WAS” – featuring mgk

These guest appearances highlight NF’s continued evolution while staying true to his emotionally grounded approach.

A New Chapter After HOPE

FEAR marks NF’s first release since 2023’s HOPE, which topped multiple Billboard charts and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. That same year and into 2024, NF launched the global HOPE TOUR, performing to sold-out arenas around the world.

Critics praised HOPE as one of his most personal works yet. Tracks like “HAPPY” and the title song have already earned Gold certifications. Outlets such as Clash Music and NME highlighted the album’s candid exploration of mental health and emotional resilience.

NF’s Unmatched Connection With Fans

NF’s impact speaks for itself:

55+ billion global streams
62 RIAA certifications
28 Platinum plaques
1.25 million+ tickets sold
Hailed by Billboard as one of the biggest rappers in the world

Known for staying quiet on social media and steering clear of typical self-promotion, NF has built one of the most loyal audiences in modern hip-hop — purely through music that speaks directly to his listeners. As Forbes noted, his success proves what’s possible outside the traditional industry model.

About NF

Born Nate Feuerstein in Gladwin, Michigan, NF used rap as both therapy and storytelling — a way to make sense of pain while finding purpose through expression. His breakout began with Mansion in 2015, a debut album that explored his mind room by room. Since then, his discography has followed a clear emotional arc: from struggle to reflection to hope — and now, fear.

Standout songs like “Let You Down” (8x Platinum), “The Search” (2x Platinum), and “HAPPY” have made NF one of the most streamed artists of his generation. Still, he avoids the spotlight, letting his lyrics speak louder than any online presence ever could.

With FEAR, NF dives headfirst into vulnerability once again — this time with the help of mgk and James Arthur — proving that his story is far from over.
