NF'S PRODUCER REVEALS HOW HE MADE "HOPE"

[@tommeeprofitt]

yo guys! here's an in-depth look at how I made "HOPE" by NF... alot went into this one!! hope you enjoy!

[@definitelynotsham]

the reason why i love nf so much is bcs the beats arent like normal repetitive hiphop melodies. behind a wonderful rapper is a talented producer

[@calculus8219]

Wow. Thankyou.

[@MarkFonsecaMusic]

Yes! This is awesome. Thank you!

[@henrywhitesell6783]

No pun intended

[@daimajutsushinaisho3295]

This is insane. The amount of talent needed to achieve such a masterpiece is blowing everyone's mind. From the use of the piano all the way through the song to the incredible orchestra playing with more and more intensity, creating that notion of "battle" until only one reigns... Even the use of Mansion was out of this world. Congrats, really.

Who’s to say he isn’t better than Hans Zimmer… honestly, skill is what makes someone a better creator than someone else, and Tommee has that natural skill!

[@CallMeEMT]

Nathan is a genius in his own right and it’s easy to see him on the surface. But you are equally as talented in your proficiency of your craft. The amount of natural talent, practice, and experience you both process is rare and you both are seeing the fruits of your efforts. And everyone that is on the team as well. God bless you and your families you are changing lives.

There's so much that goes into making such a unique, powerful, and cinematic artistry come to life as opposed to the norm, and this song and video is living proof of that, salute to the both of you

[@w1ndw4ker95]

Bro - if you haven't taught a masterclass yet, I would TOTALLY sign up for one. Your production knowledge and mixing/mastering skills are some of the best in the industry! Totally blown away with this song and the quality of work you put in to it. Bravo, sir!

[@princessglitterkitty6499]

I really hope you decide to! Your production abilities are the most impressive and mind blowing on the planet! The clean simple intro that builds into a beautiful, intense frenzied crescendo then gently and slowly leads to the end of the journey paired with NF as he takes us along an eloquent and perfectly articulated vocal path which totally immerses the soul! Music should be felt throughout your entire being, a whole body experience! You two accomplish that on every track! Oh yeah, I would sign my son up in a heartbeat if you did happen to teach a master class!

[@yocomet]

the layering in this beat is absolutely insane. NF really complimented it well with his emotional lyrics as well. great duo.

[@Nehemias_9-6]

And this whole time I thought y'all had hired a full orchestra for this song. Just goes to show how talented you really are! Can't wait for the full album!

[@tommeeprofitt]

Crazy what you can do with a computer and keyboard these days! :)

[@7thkevin]

Just a couple of Michigan boys out here changing the world. One beat drop at a time! 🔥 It's quite amazing what a small team who shares the same passion and work ethic can accomplish. What a legacy you've built. Thank you both for everything you do!

[@xdaniedx]

Seriously with NF's last albums and this one you two are taking rap to a whole other level and creating a different genre of rap. NOBODY is rapping over a whole orchestra score. It's so dope what you two have created. And I know you've worked with other artists, and I've heard it all and it's awesome too. But nothing is like this. Congrats on being an innovator and helping music evolve.

[@me1234229]

Now I know why NF always disappears after a Masterpiece! So much hard work! You guys deserve all of the buzzes!

[@storminmormn6283]

NF’s sound is so unique. He’s got an amazing story to tell and relate to. His lyrics are dark and mesmerizing. All behind a score that really builds the atmosphere of the album and brings it all together. Simply a masterpiece in almost every song.

[@thefife4847]

Dude when HOPE first came out, (I watched it immediately of course) in the middle of the song, I literally had to pause and take a break from it because of how fricking AWESOME it was. I have NEVER had to do that with a song EVER. You and NF working together has created something that is so new and incredible, and you guys just keep getting better with every record!!!! Literally cannot wait for the full album, if the songs are even half as good as HOPE was, then I think I may die from pure amazement.

I was closing at work and popped it on while I was cleaning and had to sit down I was so winded. Full body chills

I never thought it would ever come to this point, but this is my favorite NF song. It’s basically all of his songs and concepts combined into 1 amazing song, and video.

[@mollykate.99]

[@twennysebben]

I loved all the dissonance in the track, it really added a layer of unease and subtly underpinned the conflict between Hope and Fear as they attempt to wrest control from the other. This is not a song about how Hope has already won, it is a declaration of war between the Nates. Brilliantly done.

[@itscamerontaylor]

It's super encouraging as a producer to know this was all made with just a keyboard, computer, and some software.

[@HaraQuinn]

Far as Im concerned. There is no Nate without you. I actually knew some of your older tracks before being introduced to the life changing Artist you allowed Nate to become. I wish i knew more about your relationship, bc in my mind, ive always envisioned you finding this diamond in the rough.. with dire undiagnosed health issues and childhood trauma.. and taking him under your wing. Giving a successful chance saving the Life of not just Nate.. but the millions of us voiceless hes come to represent. I want to thank you Tommee for everything youve done for Nate, and in turn, for us. You always seem like such a confident expert in these mini BTS videos you make. Your talent is going unmatched at the moment. None of the classic Zimmers etc seem to even be working anymore on their craft, while your breaking the ceiling theyd met with every new Nate track. I Hope both you and Nate are aware of the genre defining music youve been mastering together. You two are shining the first needed spotlight on MentalHealth in music, giving us afflicted someone to create a loving community around. Im going on 13 years diagnosed with a personality disorder with very similar symptoms to Nates.. I also have no option of medication bc in personality disorders.. its like having two handfuls of different disorders to deal with simultaneously.. so there is no drug. Only self awareness courses, coping, art therapy, trigger hunting.. so many roads when theres no one pill band aid. Im lucky to be alive, as this caused a 30 sec NDE on me abt 14 years ago leading to being finally diagnosed. 🎼🤍🖤🌹 Again, Tommee, thank you for all you do for us. You are a magical instrument.

I don’t say this lightly. Even without NF’s epic bars you’re on the level of all the great cinematic composers. Just with NF’s instrumentals and the ones you’ve produced with others and by yourself… I feel. I emote and I am inspired. You’ve must of had countless offers to compose for Hollywood and independent films and if you haven’t yet then it really does show how disconnected these film producers are. You don’t need them anyway. Keep grinding Tommee!
