NF announces new 6 track EP Fear Dropping Nov 14th

NF isn’t chasing the noise — he’s confronting it. After the global success of HOPE and a sold-out arena tour that cemented him as one of rap’s most honest voices, NF returns with FEAR, a six-track EP that looks darkness straight in the eye. Out November 14 via NF Real Music / Capitol Music Group, FEAR finds him sharper, heavier, and even more unfiltered.

While HOPE aimed for light, FEAR sits in the shadows — not to hide, but to study what lives there. Across six tracks, NF picks apart identity, doubt, and legacy, joined by mgk and James Arthur, two collaborators who match his emotional intensity.

On paper, it’s a small release. In sound, it’s massive. “WHO I WAS” with mgk blends cinematic production with raw confessions, while “SORRY” featuring James Arthur feels like the ache after a storm. Every lyric cuts like a scar that never fully healed.

NF’s storytelling has always felt like therapy on record — unflinching, deeply human, and fiercely independent. He’s built a career on authenticity, letting the music speak louder than any campaign ever could. That silence between releases? It’s not distance. It’s discipline.

NF’s rise from Michigan kid with a mic to multi-Platinum phenomenon is a rare thing in modern rap — proof that vulnerability and success don’t have to cancel each other out. With over 55 billion streams, 62 RIAA certifications, and 1.25 million tickets sold, NF’s dominance isn’t loud — it’s earned.

If HOPE was light breaking through the clouds, FEAR is the moment before sunrise — tense, still, and full of truth.

FEAR drops November 14. Pre-save it, play it in the dark, and let it remind you that courage doesn’t always sound like confidence — sometimes it sounds like confession.
