A song pretty much about proving all the doubters wrong, staying true to yourself, and achieving your own dreams. To me, this is probably the most fun track on the album. Overall, a good song with a hard hitting beat, but I was kind of left wanting a little more out of it. Maybe my favorite part of this entire album is at the 1:07 mark of the track. One thing I noticed in this track that I’m not sure I paid much attention to prior is his rhyme scheme, especially at the beginning of the song. Grade: 8/10ĭoes NF take shots at Eminem on this track? No, not in my opinion, it’s just a play on words if you look closely. Like I said, expect to hear it everywhere. I don’t think it will top “Let You Down” (I’ll be surprised if any other NF song does), but that definitely does not take away from how good this song is. The radio song that you will hear everywhere. This track is the “Let You Down” of this album. I’m not a huge fan of the chorus on this track which takes a little bit away from the overall of the song. Nate talks us through the different stages of his life and it is a masterpiece of a story even if it’s a bit difficult to listen to. Who doesn’t want relief from whatever stress they’re carrying? NF really hits the battle of stress in this track how sometimes it can be good and how sometimes it can be crippling. And then listen to verse three and try to tell me there’s not some sort of emotional connection that you feel. I have a hard time listening to this song and not thinking it’s a Timbaland beat and that Justin Timberlake should be singing the hook (have a listen and let me know what YOU think). A great beat, a catchy hook, flawless flow changes, some amazing double entendres, an entertaining (if even confusing) music video to go along with, and this is a pretty much perfect track. A previously released single, “No Name” will fit in with this song, and I’ll leave you to put those pieces together. Grade: 9/10Ī prime example of how NF ties his songs together. This is pretty typical for an NF intro song so I get it, but I’m just a sucker sometimes for a catchy chorus to sing along to. The one flaw for me in this song is there is no hook. In the opening track, we peel back the first layer into the psyche of NF dealing with his fame from his previous album and begin to get an idea of what the search really is. Fans can find NF at the following locations: This is a track by track album review and grading for the newest album, The Search, from midwestern rapper NF.
Contributor’s Note: I’ve had a good chunk of time to listen through this album before putting this review together, but I will do my best to stay as subjective as I can and keep it brief.
