Today, Michigan rapper, mythic leader and chart-topper, NF announces his latest project and debut mixtape, CLOUDS (THE MIXTAPE), released March 26, 2021, which is now available for pre-order/pre-add via NF Real Music/Caroline here. NF also released the eerie title track, “CLOUDS,” in tandem with an appropriately cinematic video. Listen here and watch here.
With “CLOUDS,” NF lays out his reasons for releasing this mixtape now. “Hanging on to songs for so long is daunting,” he raps matter-of-factly. He then playfully delivers clever lines in unison with a sparse violin melody before his delivery becomes more fiery, matching a thunderous industrial beat. Throughout, the technically gifted MC passionately strings together complex rhymes about his continued rise and the gravity of his ambitions: “It’s likely / That I could squeeze the envelope / Ideas so astronomical / Sometimes I find them comical.”
“CLOUDS” follows NF’s last surprise single, October 2020’s “CHASING_ (DEMO),” which featured 15-year-old Australian fan Mikayla Sippel. A stirring ballad about breaking up and wanting to escape the world, “CHASING_ (DEMO)” arrived just as the cries for new music from NF’s fervent fanbase were becoming deafening. Since his chart-topping fourth album, 2019’s The Search, fans have been eagerly awaiting more of his emotional, brutally honest songwriting, big production, and sharp delivery. This new single suggests that CLOUDS (THE MIXTAPE) will be well worth the wait. NF will feature collaborations with HOPSIN and TECH N9NE on CLOUDS (THE MIXTAPE).
