Rap Takes The Crown!
The love I have for Rap (Hip Hop) started with exploring my tastes and stays with NF. I came across this man during the Covid crisis. I guess that I was already isolated enough and then the curfew messed with me. This was undoubtedly the time I warred within me and almost never won.
I love music. As a little girl, I was drawn to music. I was hooked on the vibrations of it, the effect it had on me and how much it sparked my imagination. Music took me to a different planet. I am not talking about just the music we listen to these days. The only evidence I have of music being an irrevocable part of my soul would be the fact that even when all I knew was Frank Edwards and Celine Dion, my imaginations always soared. I guess that was how I started writing some of my stories.
I use music to levitate. Normal people get high on weed and alcohol, Deraa gets high on music. Literally. Plugging music in my ears and walking on the road is like a dangerous combination because I become disenchanted from this world. Everything surrounding me today, I saw in the world of music. I build with music, think with music and breathe music. I may not have the nicest voice but the sound of music flows through my veins. Take that away, and you kill a huge part of me.

Back to the beginning, I have only one artist I listen to nonstop, and he has never disappointed me. Nate Feuerstein (NF). I came across NF early 2020 thanks to the younger brother of a friend. I was exploring my tastes and interest when I realized I had a huge fascination with Hip Hop. Mostly started with Eminem. I binged on most of his songs I could, mostly repeating ones I really loved. Then I moved on to Logic, Hopsin, Dax, Nicki Minaj, and some others I do not even remember. I remember trying old school like Tupac, 50 cent and Busta Rhymes and frankly, I do not even remember the songs I listened to because I just did it in passing.
However, I met a boy who assured me I would like some guy called NF because I seemed like a “Real” one. He filled my phone with most of Nate’s songs and asked me to listen. I kept putting it off until I finally listened to Only (a mishap) and got sucked in because Jesus! The lyrics! Just who was this guy?

I remember turning my head to look at my phone with what I am sure would be one of pure shock. I was intrigued and listened to the song again. Soon, I was rapping to it with ease. Then slowly but surely, I started to give all his songs a listen. Went all the way back and downloaded his album Mansion all the way to The Search. I listened and listened and I knew I could never be the same.
This brings me back to how much I enjoy rap. The Rappers I have listened to and the few I liked (narrowed to NF, Eminem and Dax) spit lyrics that set my whole system ablaze. Be it a diss, or something from their life story. There is always something to hold me down. It is orgasmic the friction I feel within layers of my soul. I do not know if it happens with others, but I definitely lose myself in this genre. Mostly likening the lyrics to what I am feeling and trying to understand the underlying meaning behind their words.

If I want to conclude this long talk about Rap (mostly NF), I will say that Rap is real life. It is poetical bliss. Listening to well-meaning rap is a completely different kind of level and for the rest of my life; Rap (Hip Hop) will always be my preferred genre of music.

Brand new name to me, although I know Sasha Sloan. And so know NF via Only.
Great to know NF is the number 1 for you!
Always fascinating how music stirs us inside and why.
Yeah right!!! Music awakens something within us... does it for you?
You know the answer to that
Music has its magic, it sucks you in :D
It's my first time hearing about NF and reading this intrigued me about him so I'm gonna check his songs right after this :)
Hehehe. If you like stories I suggest you check out "STORY". Very easy to flow with even for non rap peeps 😉
Thank you for the recommendation. I do listen to some rap songs and love those without explicit lyrics. STORY got me on the edge of my seat. The lyrics plus the MV felt real 😊
Oh I’m glad you liked it!!! That’s one of the reasons I love NF so much. He keeps his things PG. No hard language and children friendly (depending on how you see it)

Music is a spirit when it fills your soul you just have to dance to it tone. It has a healing power.
Yes. Music possesses healing power 😊
Actually, one can get high on music; I was listening to a gospel song and I was just dancing and didn't care about whatever was happening around meme because II was lost in the song.
Rap is a very cool genre of music, I like it when the lyrics are in sync and rhymes.
I have been there. How I feel when I'm rapping to NF
Immediately I saw his name, I had to check him out and his music is just Divine🥹❤️... Wow! Now I get why you love him.
I think I've found my new favorite Rap artist
He is really good. A genius really and I love him for many more reasons 😊
