NF Releases New Album 'Hope'

Michigan rapper and producer NF drops his much-anticipated album, HOPE (NF Real Music/Virgin Music). He also releases a video for the song "HAPPY."

HOPE is the fifth studio album from the multi-platinum rapper. Known for rapping quick-witted lyrics over hip hop beats, NF has built an obsessively loyal fanbase that has earned him over 30 billion global streams and established NF as one of the most consistent and consumed artists, connecting directly with fans in an authentic way. NF's HOPE also features Julia Michaels on "GONE," and rapper Cordae on "CAREFUL".

Earlier this year NF returned with the stirring new single "HOPE". The songs find the multi-Platinum hitmaker at his most raw and unfiltered as he assesses his musical journey thus far and looks to the future. Hope is accompanied by a suitably uplifting visual, which captures the MC's defiance and authenticity.

Next up is NF's facetious "MOTTO", of which The New York Times says, "in his early career, NF sounded as if he was internalizing all the pressures of the world, but now he sounds free and calm, dismissing those same pressures with a shrug."

In addition, the on sale of NF's HOPE TOUR begins today at 10 AM Local Time on NFrealmusic.com/tour. The 47-city tour kicks off on Wednesday, July 12th at Schottenstein Center in Columbus making stops across US, Canada, UK and Europe before wrapping up in London at the Eventim Apollo in Bell on Sunday, October 15th. NF will be joined on tour by album feature Cordae as support on the US and Canada dates.
