Real Talk with NF - New Album HOPE, Mental Health, Music Industry (Jam FM Radio Exclusive)
This episode of Lowkey Deep with NF is super special to me! As I'm sure you know NF does'nt really do that many interviews or even promo so I was super honored to even get the opportunity to talk to him. But on top of that he was nothing but kind, humble and open enough to answer my nosy questions. We talked about his upbringing, his process of writing music and mental health. Of coure NF also told me about how his new Album HOPE came together.
This is a super special episode of Lowkey Deep with rapper NF! As I'm sure you know, NF doesn't do many interviews or promo, so for me to get the opportonity to sit down with him for an interview was just wild!

The fact NF sitting for his first interview in a long time with just 2k subscribers shows how humble he is. Im here for this🔥
For real, I have no idea who this girl is lol.
2 hrs later she's up 1k subs 😂 The man knows how to draw a crowd. Love it.
Y'all are kinda disrespectful. I would hope people would be curious to get to know about her. Obviously he thought it was worth an hr of his time to chat with her.
@@Fo-Flats nobody said anything disrespectful
Yea not how I meant it
NF doing an interview 🥺 this dude has grown so much and it makes me so happy.
He really has and his music is just phenomenal especially compared to some of this other trash
he has a couple other interviews too
@@Spiralredd big 💯✔️
No way NF just did a 45 minute interview with someone with 2k subs, just goes to show his humbleness. He doesn't follow the trends, they follow him!! 🔥🔥🔥
Fr man, on pandemonium he has actually a line on that, “what’s the latest trend? I don’t have a clue, I don’t follow them. They just follow me, keep em on the edge”
@@kevinvanlierop1062 that's why he said that in the comment
i immediately recognized that lyric ❤️
He’s a leader not a follower
Bro NF is cringe as hell
NF is the only artist I will sit down and watch an hour-long interview for
You're not alone />
Same!
agreed
oh yes definitely
Try watching an Alice Cooper interview. I mean I love NF, but the Coop has done amazing interviews…like the one he did with Greg Laurie was over an hour and was fantastic!
Haven't heard him speak this much in a long time. This is so dope. I love this man. He's come such a long way. What an inspiration.
Fr
I met him today! He came to Chicago for signing, I cant lie, when i made eye contact with him and spoke to him, just in general he looked so happy. It was refreshing to see tbh
@@treepine3796 lucky....
@@owenfeilds I met him in 2014 when he came out with his first ep NF, such a nice guy
@@Cyjako now yall just flexing on me.
He so chill in person, i love this man and his music
He really is SO chill. And incredibly nice on and off camera 😳!!
That's so true when he said "he created a different genre" his music is so different from anyone else. I personally never get bored of his music, and his words are so meaningful and relatable
Definitely+
I was so afraid for him of all the childhood questions but he really handled that well. Nate will forever feel like a big brother to me.
+ plus me
WOW NF? NICE
Exactly my reaction when I got the offer 😅🫶🏽
WOWWW
@@lowkeydeep so jealous
This is NF's best album. The lyrics in these songs are truly unbelievable. He is rapping about real things like he always does but this album hits different. Grateful.
Agreed, he showed massive growth.
Getting NF for an interview has got to be the hardest thing someone can pull off. Props to you
I've always known that NF was humble in his craft and levels of fame, but this interview is really special!
🥰
@@lowkeydeephow’d you get this interview ?!? You go girl !
30 min into the interview and i love that she just asks the right questions thank you
🥹💕
This wasn't an interview. It was a beautiful conversation between two people just nice to watch and listen to. ❤
I don’t know NF at all personally, but listening to ‘Hope’ and ‘Mama’ made me so proud as a fan and human being. Going from ‘The Search’ saying he’s looking for the map to hope, and then him finding it in ‘Hope’ is awesome. And then going from ‘How Could You Leave Us’ to ‘Mama’ is a whole other level. Like he said, it’s a different emotion but definitely good emotion. From a human standpoint, you just feel happy for him and proud of him for ‘Mama’. Also, I’m a big fan of ’Happy’
On hope that one with cordae, and my favorite song pandemonium was excellent too.
I love his voice when he's talking 😩😍😍
WE NEED MORE NF INTERVIEWS!! 😂😂
I bet there are more to come 😎
"We don't do enough interviews or go out in public lately". -NF (Leave Me Alone)
@@keylinlarson108 we don’t post enough on our socials to keep the buzz from fading
@@agame9951 let it fade, yeah, let it fade
And once it’s decimated, then we drop a song outta nowhere and all the Fans embrace it
He's so much more relaxed and open than the 2020 NF. It's beautiful to see.
I think it’s mostly because he’s doing an interview on a small channel no offense. If he knew millions would see it immediately he would be more tense
Also think @Cassandra makes him comfortable. Loved it too! couldn't sense any tension at any point like some other interviews with other hosts. She's really great🎉🎉
@@seriouslymason I don't think so. Every video with NF in it will get millions anyways haha. We are watching it and have no clue who the woman is
Notice how hes sitting. His cap aint that low you can see his face. Hes smiling more. The man is healing and feels better props on him!
This man really doesn’t have a fan base. He has a family. What a talented guy, and the strength he must have to get where he is, is just something else. Mad respect NF, I’m changing my life thanks to you and your music. Blessed to have found him all those years ago. 🔥
I've always related to NF but the "sorry I forgot the question" in the beginning was 100% me
LowKey this was a great interview! NF’s a one of a kind 100%
Thank you so much dear 🥹
Highkey
I’m so glad NF did an interview he’s a huge inspiration for why I want to start making music
From what I can tell - he’s an amazing person to be inspired by 🥹
I can’t wait to go to his concert on August 2nd in Fort Worth
START BRO JUST DO IT
@@fallenlegend6682 I downloaded plugins sample packs and a whole lot of other stuff that will help me make my own music
He is very talented and unique ❤
I love how down-to-earth he is. He is definitely someone you can relate with👏👏
He's so humble and intelligent. Very self aware. I've met him 3 times, he is as amazing in person as he is here.
How did you meet him? :)
@@heatherspivey7599 I work at different venues. Working on contracts with artist management. He's come to the meetings before.
He is so humble for not always trying to be interviewed by bigger channels, instead he chose a smaller one to help u grow, happy for u and him too
Nf is my favorite artist it’s so nice seeing him start to put himself out there more and not having his doubts on doing interviews etc
I was so happy about that as well 🥹
NF GENRE: Cinematic Rap NF the Cinematic MC
NF in that outfit is the comfiest looking dude I’ve ever seen
Can’t wait to watch this. NF is my fave artist!
Can’t wait to hear whether you like it or not 👉👈🧡
@@lowkeydeepit was good
@@lowkeydeep It was a great interview!💕
@@lowkeydeep great interview! Really enjoyed it 😊
Mama was exactly what NF said it was. So grateful to see him get to acceptance and forgiveness on his path of grief.
Thankfully my mother is alive and well, but this is the song that has had me in tears. It’s really interesting listening to ‘How Could You Leave Us’ and then ‘Mama’ back to back. He’s really arrived at a place of forgiveness and grace, and I’m so glad for that.
As a young artist myself, it kinda gives me a little comfort and a little motivation to know that a professional like NF goes through the same things I do when making music. I'm grateful that he's so open with his struggles🙏🏿it helps more than he might realize.
I wish the interviewer was a true NF fan. So many great questions would have come from it that we all want answered. But an NF interview is rare so I’ll take it
Nate at this point is big enough where he could literally do promo or get interviewed on any big radio or late night talk show if he wanted to, him deciding not to and to do a interview on somewhere like here says a lot. *hats off*
NF is the GOAT
Nice to see you here
lol hello
Hearing him as my favourite rapper say that he listened to Ed Sheeran, my favourite singer, is just awesome
YES! NF is a socks with slides guy! My GUY!!!
when he forgot the question asked, l could relate😂😂😂
Congratulations for the interview 🎉❤ NF you make a beautiful album 🔥💯❤️
Thanks a bunch Christian 🥰
You and Tommee Profit have made your lane, and have stayed on the right side of the road, your own road, and that’s why we love your music, you’re unique, one of a kind, you don’t make songs about drugs or money or sex, you’re real, and you’ve earned your fan base through your bluntness, your honesty is inspiring, I love you dude, you and your music is amazing! Much love from Australia! Edit: I know he most likely won’t see this, but if you do, thank you Nate 💜
tommee is so awesome. he used to sing in my church. he is so talented
Was honestly shocked when I saw this interview pop up on my feed… feels like seeing a rare animal in the wild 🤩
I almost cried just seeing this. Nate being on an interview is so amazing. Iv already got tickets to his next show. Love this man to death. His music speaks to me
He seems like such a genuine guy, what an awesome opportunity
Interviewer: "Who would you love to be named in a row with?" NF: "I would rather not be named in a row" BASED.
I love how happy and smiley the interviewer is when asking questions. That's an awesome quality to have because it'll make your interviewer naturally relax. Great interview!
Thanks so much for your wonderful compliment Brandon 🥹
Very true in this case. Well said.
So glad this interview is back online.
Same here 💯 from austria 🇦🇹
NF! So happy to see this
Fingers crossed you’re it keeps you happy ☺️
love NF an im a og 43 yrs old.......He doesnt seem so self conscious with his sniffling into the mic every 10seconds....but i love him even more, he is actually human lol
An NF and Mike Shinoda collaboration would be amazing for me, man that’d be great
He was so right when talking about Mama. Mama and Running were such great songs because I’ve been able to see where he has come from and see where he is now. The album is truly a work of art!
I love running
@@angeleyes2736 that verse on running is his hardest verse on the album.
"But it still all sounds like me." Gotta love how he can stay true to himself and still bring so many different styles to the table.
You have no idea how much this man music has helped me through my dark times in my life. His music is amazing
I still really wanna hear an NF and Twentyonepilots song. They’d be a great collaboration together
YES!
The Atmosphere Of The Interview Is So Chilled, You'd Swear It's Just A Conversation Between Friends🔥
NF is the shit I’ve been listening to him since Flame Start Over “Everybody’s got a blank page, a story to write & today a war that their climbing you can carry the past on you’re shoulders or you can start over” -NF
NF listening to HU…it’s a win for me😁
Most celebrities on interviews are trying so hard to look good for there fans.... Nf over here with a oversized hoodie socks and sandals, slouched over on a couch..... He's an icon
This is amazing! I saw the title to this video and that it was actually Nate sitting there and I was literally stopped in my tracks. This makes me so incredibly happy and I'm only about 10 minutes in and it's already so good. Nate has helped me and the way I think about stuff and it's so awesome to see him doing an interview. The fact that he chose you to give this interview to just shows how good of a guy he is. Congrats on the interview! 😊
I hope 17 minutes later you’re still happy 🥹❤️ thank you so much!!
@@lowkeydeepyou're so welcome! The interview was amazing and it makes me incredibly happy about everything you talked about. It's awesome to see him open up about stuff like this and you did a great job interviewing him. You got a subscriber out of me. 😊
@@GracefulTalksCPand now you made ME really happy 😅🫶🏽
It's been 6 hours now. I hope your still happy. I hope it last forever
NF is a humble guy. Which is why I love him.
Rightfully so 🫡❤️
Mama, Happy, and Running really hit me super hard. With Happy and Running being the most relatable to me, he was entirely right about Mama in this interview. When I listen to it now it’s flooring to hear the amount of forgiveness and love in it. Happy and Running both made me bawl, thank you for the personal and hopeful record Nate. Love you man!
Running is among my favourite too!
@@angiedilaj it’s like all the things I’d try to explain to my close friends but couldn’t find words for, he did in Running. Love that song
I love that he is wearing the same outfit for the past 2 weeks. Lol, looks so comfy to be honest 😄
Cassandra - I just want to say that I really enjoy your interview style! This was just such a wholesome hour. Well done :)
Aaahw Deborah 🥹🫶🏽 THANK YOU! Not only for taking a whole hour in your day to watch it, but also for leaving such an encouraging compliment! 🥰
I agree! It didn't feel like someone grilling and prying. It was like watching a true conversation between two empathic souls. She listens to listen, not just to talk. Beautiful.
NF speaks for so many people who feel the feelings expressed in his music
Nate, you have no idea how much you have shaped my life through your music. I totally understand what you mean when you question what you would write or rap/sing about if you were to let the “battle damaged” version of yourself slip away. There are definitely undertones of that theme throughout the Hope album. And I think I can speak for a large part of your fan base when I say that we’ll rock with you no matter what the theme is. Even if the music were to transition to a super happy NF, we would be here for it. We are loyal. We feel so proud at the strides you have made to start climbing out of that dark place and in a weird way, I feel like a lot of us are climbing out of it with you. That’s the power of your music, brother!
I'm so happy to see an interviewer with NF!
I love this interview! You asked some really nice questions, thank you for that! And I love how you conducted it he looked comfortable here!!
🥹🧡
46:50 man Mama was amazing exaclty for what Nate said here, we have seen all his progression, and hearing him say "I forgive you mama" on Hope was so good that I left some tears fall just with that sentece, so listening to Mama was really beautiful for me and I really did cry with it, I would say almost as How could you leave us did. Love you NF!
The interviewer has the nicest voice I’ve ever heard.
Yooooooo NF the absolute goat (Even though he doesn't want us calling him that) 😅❤
I won’t tell him 🥸
@@lowkeydeep 😆
I don't know about that one.
@@fireballmafia4833 yep in turn my back " I don't need to hear you say that I'm the goat"
I still remember the track "All I Have" we grew up with NF.
NF and Tommy really did create a whole new genre of music over the years, a unique lane of his own. Cinematic rap like no other. I hope he comes back to Australia some day - I don't really like crowds or concerts because there is so many people but my sister came with me and we absolutely loved it! Truly appreciate the way he has mastered his art. I'm always excited to hear how he articulates his thoughts and experiences and always look forward to the instrumentals on each song! Great interview!
Yes!!
"You don't have to know my album names or all my music but at least try to find out who you in the room with"
Hope is 100% albume of the year ..thanks for making Nate talk for an hour. Love it...
Every album he makes is the album of the year
I had to do a double take cause I wasn’t sure this was actually new. It’s been a while since he’s done an interview but I’m loving everything about this. He just looks so much happier now. I absolutely love this dude. I can’t wait to see him on tour ❤
My 11 year-old boy played Let You Down for his piano recital! That song is still a hit!
He's right, his fans that have followed his journey over the years felt a different type of way when they heard Mama. I cried, but they were tears of happiness because I could hear and feel the sense of closure that I've been hoping for years he would find. It was a different type of emotion, and I know I'm not the only one that heard it and felt relief and genuine happiness for him that he was able to record that and let go of some of that hurt that's festered in him his whole life. He deserves it.
I felt the same way as u did
So glad to see more NF this man changed my life
get well soon Nate! Amazing interview, appreciate your work ❤
Thanks a bunch dear 🥰
Wow! We needed this
Nf seems so chill. One day I really want to meet him in person. He is so legendary and humble. I have been listening to NF for about 8 years it literally never gets old.
Thank you so much for this interview. So many of us connect with his music, but understanding and learning who he is as a person and how he became the person he is just completes the connection as fans. He’s REAL and this interview shows that front and center clear as day. Can’t wait for his Tour this was a huge +
To be honest.. I’ve interviewed quite some A Level musicians but not a single one of them had such supportive, appreciative and thoughtful fans. You’re amazing 😭🫶🏽
@@lowkeydeep Thank you for your work. I love watching interviews and I’ve never found anybody like you. It’s awesome finding another person who’s content I enjoy even though it’s in a different section of the entertainment industry. I’ll be watching your content for years to come 🫶
@@StunnOG 🥹🤍
Seeing NF in interview will just make you leave all you were doing on internet and pay attention to the answers he will give to the interviewer. I just loved the humility . No fancy what no drip what what . NF is real in interviews, real in song writing and real in his videos.
An interview worth the time. Thanks for this.
Great interview , thank you nf feel better
Just a cool, casual and real conversation with a cool, casual, real, kind dude.
Awesome to see Nathan on here man, always love his interviews, bro is realer than real itself.
