He’s got a word for the church, too, because “sometimes I’m preaching to the choir, but everybody in the choir ain’t all the way there.” Phew himself was that kid - always on time for Sunday service, but caught up trying to chase the approval of a crowd on a destructive path.Īs he crept into adulthood, the young rapper still flirted with disaster. “Making this music helped me discover a whole new world in myself.”

“I found myself as an artist, and more importantly as a man through, WU2,” says Phew. The project is strapped with explosive features, from emerging trap star the 2-Chainz signed Skooly, who shines on the contemplative, atmospheric, string-laden standout track “Heatwave,” to labelmate Lecrae on their head-bopping “Wild N Out.” WHATUPRG, Jamie Grace, Foggie Raw and more lend their talents to WU2’s packed roster, wrapped together by a young artist maturing by leaps and bounds. There’s a sense of transparency that comes through in his music, a refined rawness only be gained through experience and honing your craft, leading up WU2. The young artist was instrumental in connecting contemporary trap legend Zaytoven with Reach Records co-founder Lecrae, leading to their critically acclaimed collaboration, Let the Trap Say Amen.

As evidenced by his mixtapes Sunday Night (2015) and Life (2016) and his last album, What’s Understood, Phew’s got plenty of swag with the wisdom to match, a package that has brought him an incredible platform, including the 2019 season-anthem for his hometown Atlanta Falcons. It’s just my vibe, and I want y’all to feel it.” “Everybody that’s around me, I want them to feel love. His latest project, What’s Understood 2 is pure, unfiltered trap, not designed in a lab, but shaped by his East Atlanta home. That’s where the 1K comes from,” says the 25-year-old rapper. Listen once, and you can’t help but hear the shine.ġK Phew exudes that authenticity in his music and lifestyle, all the way down to the name. 1K Phew embodies authenticity, his life and his music are a showcase for the culture that forged him wherever he goes.

Not by abandoning the culture it’s born from, but illuminating that culture for the world to see.

Yet hip hop, well, hip hop done right and true bridges every gap.
