The story I’m telling is how I overcame my obstacles. “I just want to share my life through this music. “I’m just a young kid from Atlanta with something to say,” he confesses. The older heads who I used to hang with in the A, called us younger ones, nephew, so the Phew part is short for nephew.” shares 1K Phew. “They say keep it 100, but we keep it 1000. That incident was a turning point for me.1K Phew’s name comes from “being 1000% real and authentic, no matter what,” he shares. Every time I tried to do things my way, it didn’t work out for me. “It wasn’t until I almost got shot one day that I decided to truly surrender my life to God and His plan. While 1K Phew is whipping the Unashamed Army into shape, Lecrae is putting them through the drills.īorn and raised in Atlanta, GA, IK Phew grew up with two praying parents who encouraged him. He had it better than some of his peers, yet he still found himself going down a destructive path as a teen. The video directed by Jerrell Lamar & Caleb Seales was filmed in Atlanta, GA and finds 1K Phew and Lecrae recreating the drill sergeant scene inspired by the 1995 film, Major Payne, starring Damon Wayans and Karyn Parsons. The latest song “Move,” is a fan favorite track from the album. Listen to “One Call” below and let us know what you think.1K Phew and Lecrae released their third single and video, MOVE, from their new collaborative album, No Church In A While. The album features 10 tracks including: “Wildin” “Ready Or Not,” “Move,” “One Call,” “What We Gon Do,” “Amen,” “Blockhead,” “Born Sinner” “Save Us,” and “No Church In A While.” Lecrae and 1K Phew MOVE No Church In A While is telling people there’s still hope, you can still turn to God no matter how long you’ve been away.” God is waiting for everybody to tap back in. “ No Church In A While has all types of meanings,” explains 1K Phew. “We just went through the pandemic and ain’t nobody to church in a minute. This album is for everybody who ain’t been to church or connected to God in a while who thinks they can’t go back. Out of his convos with 1K Phew who he is mentoring came to the idea to actually record an album for people who like themselves hadn’t been to church in a while. Lecrae was recording his mixtape, Church Clothes 4, when it occurred to him that people actually hadn’t been to church to even put on those church clothes because of the pandemic, church hurt, and other reasons. The concept for their collaborative album, No Church For A While grew out of conversations between Lecrae and 1K Phew.

“One Call is the first single and video from the project and tells the story of how God is that one call that everyone needs to be able to make to that one reliable caller you can count on to be there for you when you’re in need trouble or as is the case of this video, inside of a jail cell. They collaborated on their new album, No Church For A While, which also just dropped. 1K Phew is an upcoming Atlanta-born and raised hip-hop artist who is being mentored by Lecrae.
