I got into NF when my younger brother started talking incessantly about Perception. Anything I write here will either only repeat what the album says better than I will, or completely prove the point that Feuerstein is trying to make. That’s something I rarely find in today’s music, so I reveled in it for quite some time before trying to talk about it.
This album demands your absolute attention. This isn’t an album that you throw on in your car as background noise. The album is an absolute mountain: 19 tracks clocking in at an hour and 12 minutes. I would say the best lyric that sums up the album’s main theme comes from the title track, where he says: “I’m lookin’ for the map to hope / You seen it?” I think I might want that tattooed onto me. He speaks unashamedly about mental illness, imposter syndrome, and the toll that our fame-focused culture is taking on today’s youth. We are interested in hearing something that’s not merely a distraction. The culture we live in is as divided as ever. You can buy or stream The Search on Apple Music. Perception ’s success is what allowed NF to keep that same raw approach on The Search. He’s simply telling his story in real time. If you listened to his last album, 2017’s Perception, you’ll know that the topics talked about in his latest are not new to NF. He makes clean rap but never fails to make it almost unbearably relatable. What sets him apart, and what draws me to him, is the fact that he refuses to sing about wasting time on anything hollow. Nate Feuerstein (NF) has become one of the top names in hip-hop.
