In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories was hearing my first rap song. I was working on math in school and "Ooh Ahh" by Grits started playing. It was unlike anything I had heard, and that sent me down the path of listening to all the rap I could find. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Memphis May Fire, Remade In Misery NF, The Search Skillet, Dominion I love these albums because each one is so much more than just a collection of songs. The whole project is a masterpiece made up of smaller masterpieces. It's like a great painting, where the closer you get, the better you see the beauty. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Plastic Smile” This one hits. I wrote this after a suicide on my campus. It was after that that I realized how often people hide what they really feel behind a smile and a quick "I'm fine." I made this song to help people feel less isolated. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I would say that my memorable moment in my career so far was rapping on stage at an NF music video shoot. We were extras, and in between shots they had me get up on stage and rap for the crowd in the theatre. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Oh my, there's so much left on my bucket list. I've barely started...
