Recently, NF shook the internet with “When I
Grow Up.” The video trended on YouTube at #1 for multiple days and
racked up over 20 million global video views as well as over 12 million
audio streams in less than two weeks. The first single “The
Search” has amassed upwards of 30 million global audio streams and over
20 million video views to date. Both “The Search ” and “When I Grow Up
” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #70 (NF’s highest debut ever)
and #78 respectively.
Following the arrival of The Search, the artist will launch the
29-date headline run, The Search Tour . It kicks off on September 12 and takes NF across North America, culminating
with his debut at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 13 and
wrapping up in California October 26.
Every online ticket order of 2 or more tickets for the 2019 U.S. NF
headline tour will include 1 physical CD copy of NF’s forthcoming album
The Search . Tickets and tour information available at nfrealmusic.com .
Operating from outside of the system and against all odds, NF
quietly and unassumingly ascended to the forefront of modern hip-hop on
his own terms. His independently released, Perception, shocked the industry by debuting at #1 on the
Billboard Top 200 and shone a light on a fervent fan-driven movement
surrounding the artist. It also bowed at #1 on the Top Rap Albums and
Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. It represented the ultimate underdog
story of 2017, as chronicled by The New York Times, Rolling Stone and
Forbes, with the latter noting, “NF’s success speaks to what can be
done these days outside of the traditional system.”
Now certified Platinum in the U.S., Perception has earned more than
two million album equivalent units worldwide while cumulative streams
have surpassed 3.5 billion. Singles like “Let You Down” – 3x Platinum
and a No. 1 Pop radio hit in the U.S., and certified Platinum or higher
in seven additional countries – “Lie” and “If You Want Love” further
expanded NF’s fanbase, paving the way for his sold-out, 87-date 2018
Perception World tour of North America and Europe, numerous festival
appearances and the direct support slot on Logic’s Bobby Tarantino Vs
Everybody arena tour.
