Feuerstein endured a hardship-filled childhood in which his parents divorced, his mother's boyfriend physically abused him, and his mother eventually killed herself. Music was his escape, and he began recording songs on a karaoke machine, with instrumentals on one microphone and his raps in the other. Placing second in a nationwide Fine Arts Festival rap competition in 2008, and first in Michigan the following year, he independently released a debut album, Moments, in 2010. The album attracted the attention of Xist Music, which signed him to a recording deal in 2012, by which time Feuerstein had taken on the stage name NF. The label announced the release of an EP that same year, but it never appeared, and NF and Xist parted ways. NF spent the next two years looking for a label and working with local producer Tommee Profitt in his studio; they came up with the song "Wake Up," which convinced Capitol Christian Music Group to sign him. CMG released a six-song (including a Manny Marroquin remix of "Wake Up") self-titled EP late in the summer of 2014. His debut album, Mansion, was released in early 2015 and reached number 62 on the Billboard 200 while topping the Christian Albums chart. The aptly titled Therapy Session followed in 2016 and also topped the Christian Albums chart with its raw emotions and honest lyrics. The following Summer saw the release of the singles "Outro" and "Green Lights", in anticipation of the arrival of his third studio long player, Perception, which dropped later that October. NF achieved mainstream popularity in 2017 with Perception; the album charted at number one in the United States and was certified platinum, while its third single, "Let You Down", reached number twelve on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and was a top-ten hit internationally. He achieved similar commercial success with his follow-up The Search (2019). Feuerstein's most recent album, Hope, released on April 7, 2023, had commercial success and peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard 200.

on HOPE
The song HOPE by NF is about finding hope and defining success through difficult times. The first verse addresses a person who has been dragging their feet for thirty years and not fulfilling their promises, causing stagnation. The chorus of the song, "Hope", is a message to himself to not lose faith in himself and to keep going, as people have been praying for his soul. Following the chorus, the rapper defines his own version of success, which revolves around listening to God, standing up for one's beliefs, dreaming big, working hard, and being willing to take a chance on something that could be considered impossible.
The second verse continues to delve into the rapper's personal struggles and growth, including having regrets and carrying baggage. However, he also discusses the positive outcomes of going through tough times, such as a mental breakdown that led to getting help and healing. The rapper concludes the song by taking charge of his own life and declaring that he is the one in charge of his own destiny and the direction of his life.
Overall, HOPE is a powerful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to have faith in themselves and their abilities, even in difficult times. It also emphasizes the importance of defining success based on personal beliefs and values rather than external validation or societal norms.
