"When I Grow Up" is one of mine and Nate's fav tracks from his album "The Search" (2019)... so I thought I'd go back and give a small peek at what went into creating the production on this track; from the instruments used, to the vocals. Let me know if this type of content is interesting to you, and what you'd like to see more of in the future! ALSO, just got a new fan number so you can text me personally and get updates! [phone] ... I'll definitely be responding to some when I can! Hope to hear from you!

[prodaram]

I can't believe these breakdowns exist (for free)

Once again, you’re building your legend as we speak. NF, the Cinematic Songs series. The Birth of a King was brilliant. Covers Volume 1 is outstanding. I really just need you to drop new music on the regular with NF, Fleurie, Brooke, and all the other talented artists you work with.

[DAventador]

I got worried that there weren't going to be more of these videos, they're a lot of fun to watch!

[nathancharles]

These videos are so sick man. It’s so cool looking at how everything’s stacked and comes together. I was blown away when I saw all those vocals together

[asilduin]

You are a big part of why NF's music is so good and enjoyable to listen to. Producers are very underrated. Your beats are FANTASTIC!

[Jorvo]

Noticed at the end the NF Scream transition was the one used from “Why”! I have always noticed it sounds the same as why in some recent songs… but assumed he was yelling it every time. Cool to know it’s the same sample! Work smarter not harder 🔥

[Elly]

Thats the first song of NF i had ever heard <3

[JEHUnAshamed]

1:13 did anyone else get Pirates of the Caribbean vibes on this part 😂

[HobbitNinjaWizard]

I love this so much!
NF's music wouldn't be quite as epic if it wasn't for your production!!
Keep it up!

[Pendo]

These breakdowns are awesome 🔥🔥
Big inspiration on my beats 💯

[Dave-boyk]

I wish you two could create together a "how was it done?" videos, where you speak about your dilemmas and decisions.
As usual it was amazing!
You and NF are the best couple in the industry.

This was the song that got me into NF after watching the music video and hearing it for the first time.

I heard “Let You Down” on pandora and wanted to see who the artist was, so I looked him up on YouTube. So glad I did

[Adog]

One of his best songs thanks to the both of you💙

[elska-jo]

Seriously, this is full on magic to me. I WISH I had the ear to hear bits of music before they come together, and MAN do I appreciate every moment of work you put into your music. I can't tell you how much it inspires me when I'm writing <3

[awonddy]

This makes me wanna go make music right now!! Love it

[Sera-]

You're like a great chef who really knows how to put up the right ingredients for a scrumptious meal!
I'm not really into rap that much but when "The Search" and "When I grow up" existed, both became one of my favorites💞❣️

[afc]

Tommee, I'm pretty sure that many other artists are trying to take u away from Nate. I hope that you keep it real and put great friendship before getting paid. You are a true pioneer in this day and age of hip hop. Kerp on keeping.

[proximityplayzz]

I love NFS music, especially your style and how epic and massive it sounds.

[imthedan]

Well this makes it a ton of sense. Was wondering why I liked your shit so much -- you make all NFs stuff.
