Sounds like a hit! No name recognition though.

My sister is obsessed with this guy, so she'll be happy if he crosses over.

Very unfortunate name for UK people (a far right racist political group)

This is taking off on Spotify, partly beacause its in top position on the Todays Top Hits playlist.

Hey, look, Christian music I can actually listen to as an atheist (I mean, NF generally, not just this song). I mean, I like Hawk Nelson and Francesca Battistelli, but those are exceptions. This song is pretty good, heard it when it dropped.

Wow! He doesn't look Christian at all. The first time I listened to this, I thought it was a from a group.
Ironically this goes for adds on Halloween...

Finally had a chance to listen to this last night. This is very good. I can see this becoming a decent sized hit.

It's simply a very pop-friendly song I think.

When I saw this thread I knew I remember the name NF from somewhere, but I figured it was some random K-Pop group. After opening this thread though, I realized it was on Rap Critic's video thrashing this guy's song "Real" and christian rap in general.
Surprisingly, I really like this. NF has a nice flow, this is pretty good lyrically, and it has a great bit that fits the atmosphere. It almost feels like a cross between Eminiem and some of the atmospheric alt R&B artists like Eden.
If this blows up like it looks like it may, there would be a LOT of parallels between this and MGK's Bad Things. Both are left field hits by their respective artists, both white rappers who had some success out of the mainstream before the particular song, both have pretty dark tones, and both are their first song to get a real pop push.

Okay, is is just me, or does the chorus sound like Passenger's "Let Her Go"? The rhythm and way it flows sounds very similar. Or am I just crazy?

I was an intern for Capital Christian Music Group when they were about to sign NF. I got to hear some of his demos in an A&R meeting and talk to the head of A&R about him. I told the head of A&R that I loved the songs he showed me and that I thought he had a lot of potential to reach a big audience with his music. Essentially this is only crossing over because of me Really though, its so cool to see this getting some airplay and maybe turning into a big hit?? Unreal. My favorites from him other than this one are "Can You Hold Me (feat. Britt Nicole)", "Only One", and "Wake Up" if y'all wanna check out some of his older stuff.
