In an era full of superficial bars and overproduced tracks, artists like NF stand out.
He doesn’t just rap – he opens up. Anxiety, loss, pressure, fear, self-doubt – NF gives these emotions a voice. But what really makes his songs powerful is not just the message… it’s the music behind it.
If you want to write the kind of verses that feel real, you need more than just good lyrics –
you need beats that carry emotion.
NF’s signature sound blends:
Emotional storytelling
Cinematic arrangements
Vulnerability + intensity
Big, anthemic hooks
His music feels like a monologue turned into a film score. Every word is personal. Every beat supports the message.
Raw lyrics connect best when they’re simple and unfiltered.
To write like NF:
Don’t avoid darkness: Be direct about your struggles
Talk to yourself: A lot of NF’s verses feel like internal conversations
Build intensity: Start calm, rise to emotional peaks
Leave space for a hook: Create room for a powerful chorus or melody
This dynamic builds tension – and helps listeners connect deeply.
NF type beats aren’t just instrumentals – they’re emotional landscapes.
Here’s what they often include:
Element | Role in the Beat |
---|---|
Piano melodies | Sad, cinematic, often minimal and ambient |
Orchestral elements | Strings, choirs, builds & breakdowns |
Heavy drums | Deep kicks, punchy snares – used sparingly |
Dynamic structure | Shifts from soft to explosive energy |
Tempo | Around 75–90 BPM – lets words breathe and build |
This combination gives your lyrics space – and lets the listener feel your story.
Here are themes that work well with this type of sound:
Internal battles & negative self-talk
Childhood trauma or family struggles
Feeling misunderstood or isolated
Searching for meaning or identity
Fighting pressure & self-doubt
Finding peace in pain
The more personal you get, the more your listener relates.
If you’re ready to write something real, you need the right canvas.
