This year, Nate is newly married and has a brand new, massively long (76 minutes) album. In the last verse of the haunting third track on The Search, Nate comes out and says it: “Last year, I felt suicidal.”īut that was last year. So why did he feel so hollow? So empty? Just when he had everything he wanted, he spiraled to some of his lowest depths yet, which is saying a lot for a guy who lost his mom as a kid to a drug overdose, suffered physical abuse, developed abandonment issues, depression, and a whole truck load of dirty baggage. The no name had made good on his braggadocious claims and lofty ambitions and risen to the top in just a couple short years since his debut album with Capital, “Mansion.” It was like a dream come true. His single “Let You Down” was a smash hit, soaring to the tops of Itunes and Billboard charts. “If this is it… it’s not gonna work.” - NF confesses on the track 'Interlude.'Ģ017 was a huge year for NF. Review Summary: The Outcast Returns: NF's fourth LP is a satisfying return to form and an introspective meditation on the fleetingness of life, fame, and ambition.
