1K Phew
Atlanta rapper 1K Phew makes songs about his faith that sound great in clubs or booming out of cars. His contemporary rap sound carries Christian messaging but decorates it with production by Metro Boomin, Zaytoven, and guest features from both on-the-rise rappers and already established stars like Young Dro. 1K Phew consistently merged trap swagger with uplifting, heartfelt lyricism on prolifically released projects like 2024's Pray For Atlanta.
1K Phew was born Isaac Gordon in 1995 in Stone Mountain, Georgia, a city right outside of Atlanta. By his mid-teens he was already interested in rap, taking in the influence of local heroes like OutKast and Dungeon Family. After an incident when he and his friends were shot at and narrowly escaped death, he shifted gears, turning to a life devoted to Christianity and reflecting that faith in his music. By the mid-2010s, 1K Phew was issuing mixtapes such as 2015's Sunday Night and 2016's Life, gaining attention both regionally and nationally for his confident style and technical abilities. In 2017, the rapper signed with Reach Records and toured constantly. That year he released his Never Too Late mixtape and guested on the Metro Boomin-produced single "Hammer Time" by Lecrae. Following the 2018 singles "Zoo Atlanta" and "We Did It," 1K Phew returned with the 2019 mixtape What's Understood. What's Understood 2 arrived before the year was up, and after a series of singles, he teamed with Lecrae in 2021 for collaborative album No Church In A While. 2022 album As I Am featured guest spots from Jonathan McReynolds, Trip Lee, and others, and 2024 release Pray For Atlanta included production from Zaytoven and features from Pastor Troy, Young Dro, and Hunxho.
