There is a new Jesus believing rapper on the block by the name of NF, and quite frankly he "spits bars" with passion, precision, and perfect delivery.

NF released his untitled debut EP yesterday August 5, and it delivers track after track with six powerful and hard hitting songs.

The Michigan bred MC who's real name is Nate Feuerstein (sounds like Frankenstein), signed to Capitol Records and is looking like he will be the next big name in Christian hip-hop.

NF's sound is raw, real, and authentic. A fair comparison, as far as similarities, would be a combination of Macklemore and Drake's flow along with Eminem's energy and propensity for speaking on first person experiences. Overall, with these comparisons aside, which most rappers hate (sorry), his sound is unique to him and Christian music for sure.

"All I Have" opens up with a really great beat, and rapid fire verses. However, it is the chorus that ties the excellent bars together, "Don't tell me that this isn't real...it's all I have" he sings. The song is talking about finding life's calling through God. He worked as a struggling artist and wondered if he was wasting time and dreaming. As he continues on, his flow gets more incredible and his lyrics more vunerable. He shares that pills took his mom, and admits "I'm a Christian but I'm not perfect."

Listen to it below:

"Wake Up" talks about living life sleeping, almost like a zombie having no purpose or motivation. "You spend your life in a dream you can't escape. You live your life in a coma you're never awake." The beat features a nice piano intro with soft sung vocals leading in. The verses hit fast like the first track.

The next track "Hands Up," is pure swag and lyrical ability as he flexes his wordplay. He says it is not about the money, and he is in it for the love of hip-hop. NF shouts out Drake and Lil Jon in a few pun filled bars that reference the two other artists songs. "Am I in this for the money? Stop cracking jokes, Because we all know this industry is known for cutting throats. And if this was all for money I would have quit years ago, but it's not so turn me up until my ears explode," he belts out.

"Only One" is his gushy love song on the EP. It has a dance/electronic beat to it, and he does a lot of singing on the track. He pulls it off well as it compliments his raps. The song speaks of finding the girl intended for him, and how they hold each other up through rough times.

However, he follows up the heartfelt love song for another take on love in "Thing Called Love." He sings, "This thing called love, can be so cold. It can be miserable or it can be beautiful...sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's crazy...this thing called love." He raps about love being like a drug. It is a "privilege" that gets used and abused and consumes people and turns their life around.

The song mentions analogies to portray how love could hurt and be lost. The imagery is intense and deeply personal. The track puts into perspective that dark side of love that is not often spoken about in songs. The beat is hauntingly perfect for the topic, and its simplicity over something so complicated is really cool to hear.

"Just Being Me" closes the album with fire. It is super aggressive, and talks about music having meaning and affecting culture for good and not trash. "I rather die and let this dream go to waste, you can tell that I ain't playing by the look upon my face. The world wants to tell us who we are and who we ain't, but the person that I am you can never take, I'm just being me... and this defines me, look into my music and you'll find me." Those words ring powerful, and serve as an anthem for people who look to become something more than what they are. Often time the world beats unique and gifted people down, and this is NF's call to rise above that.

Overall the only flaw with this EP is that it's only six tracks long! If this first step for NF is any indication of what he has coming, he has set the bar high. He has an amazing ability to make his music relatable to whoever is listening. He manages to preach a message of love and faith without explicitly ever letting the cliché Christian terms come through. Although people could potentially knock NF for this, this is something that will hold weight to people who really need to hear the good news packaged in a way they can relate to. Most importantly, NF has skills, and that is something any hip-hop fan can get behind.

The EP reached as high as the No. 7 spot yesterday on iTunes and can be purchased here.
