In the world of emotionally charged, introspective hip-hop, it’s impossible to ignore the impact that artists like NF have made. His raw honesty, cinematic production, and ability to translate personal struggle into powerful music have shaped an entire lane within modern rap. It’s in this same lane that rising artist Tyse Nett has begun carving out his own path—drawing clear inspiration from NF while telling a story that is undeniably unique.
At 24 years old, Tyse Nett has already written, recorded, and produced four studio albums, a feat that demonstrates both discipline and artistic hunger. Like NF, Tyse’s music leans into dark emotional tones, layered instrumentals, and vulnerable lyrics that invite listeners into the deepest corners of his mind. But while the vibe may feel familiar to fans of NF, the story behind the music sets Tyse apart.
A Shared Vibe, But Different Roots
NF’s music is heavily shaped by experiences with mental health struggles, childhood trauma, and the loss of his mother. Tyse Nett’s emotional foundation comes from somewhere different—but equally powerful. Adopted from Russia at a young age, Tyse often writes from what he calls an “orphan wound”—a deep-rooted emotional space shaped by abandonment, identity questions, and the search for belonging.
This gives his lyrics a distinct emotional flavor. Where NF often explores themes of anxiety, control, inner conflict, and perfectionism, Tyse’s storytelling leans into feelings of displacement, loss, and the ongoing quest to define who he is outside of his past.
The similarities in tone don’t come from imitation—they come from two artists exploring human pain through different lenses.
Influence, Not Imitation
Tyse Nett openly acknowledges that NF has been a major influence on his music. He has expressed admiration for NF’s artistic lyricism, his commitment to emotional honesty, and his ability to create songs that resonate deeply with fans around the world.
Instead of hiding this inspiration, Tyse embraces it and uses it as fuel. The cinematic productions, the introspective writing, the emotional vulnerability—all of these are elements Tyse was drawn to long before he ever started creating his own music. But he doesn’t see himself as a copy. To him, NF’s influence is not a ceiling—it’s a foundation he builds from.
Tyse encourages fans to understand that two artists can exist in the same emotional and artistic space without one diminishing the other. He believes the industry needs more musicians who are willing to be raw and honest, not fewer.
Tyse Nett’s Message to Fans
Tyse’s perspective is simple:
There’s room for both NF and Tyse Nett—and for anyone else brave enough to turn their wounds into art.
While comparisons are inevitable, Tyse hopes listeners approach his music with an open mind. Yes, he carries a similar emotional intensity. Yes, his sound is influenced by NF. But the heart of his music—his story, his trauma, his identity, his growth—is wholly his own.
And with four self-produced albums at just 24 years old, Tyse Nett is proving that he isn’t just an echo of someone else’s voice. He’s an artist with something real to say—and one who’s only just getting started.
