He is also a member of the rap group 116 Clique, as well as the president of both the independent record label Reach Records and the non-profit organization ReachLife Ministries. He also put out his sixth studio album Gravity, which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and took home the Grammy for Best Gospel Album in 2013, the first time that a hip-hop artist has won this award. In 2012, he released his first mixtape, the breakthrough Church Clothes, hosted by DJ Don Cannon and downloaded hundreds of thousands of times that year. 2011 saw the release of Rehab: The Overdose and Lecrae’s performance at the BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher, catching some attention from the mainstream.

His fourth solo album Rehab came out in 2010 and topped the Christian, Gospel, and Independent charts, as well as earning a Grammy nomination. His debut album Real Talk was released in 2004 through Reach Records and re-released by Cross Movement Records the following year, followed by 2006’s After the Music Stops and 2008’s Rebel, which reached number one on the Gospel chart, the first Christian hip-hop album to do so. His brash demeanor and southern crunk production is bolstered by his smooth flow about his faith in Jesus Christ. From then on, I was different.Lecrae Moore, known simply as Lecrae, is an American rapper and producer who has become one of the foremost stars in the Christian hip-hop scene. It wasn’t until he and his friends almost got shot one day that Phew decided to truly surrender his life to God and His plan. But even though Phew had it better than some of his peers, having grown up with two praying parents who encouraged him in his gifting, he still found himself going down a destructive path as a teen. “You can’t force anybody to follow your way but you can let your light shine and watch them come to you.” The past he speaks of is one that rings true for the many who grew up in similar circumstances. “The story I’m telling is how I overcame my obstacles,” he says.

This sort of genuine directness is what resonates with his audience and his growing platform is a clear reflection of his passion to share his story. That’s where the 1K comes from, always keeping it 1,000 no matter what.”

To let him tell it: “I’m not worried about being politically correct. There’s a sense of transparency that comes through in his music, a kind of refined rawness that can only be gained through experience and honing your craft. As evidenced by his mixtapes Sunday Night (2015) and Life (2016), Phew’s got plenty of swag and wisdom to impart, and people are beginning to connect with his candid approach. He’s fun and engaging, no doubt, but he’s so much more. At just 23 years old, Phew’s rise from local rapper with swagger to compelling artist equipped with a message, has been refreshing to watch. His smooth delivery and evocative vocal tone pair well with the bouncy, energetic production that defines his sound. Atlanta has long been an inimitable force.ġK Phew is among a new breed of Atlanta artists taking the trap sensibility and elevating it to great effect. From Outkast and Goodie Mob, Ludacris and T.I., to Migos, Young Thug, and Future, the proof is there. To say that Atlanta is merely having a moment, would be to overlook decades of the region’s impact on hip-hop culture at large.
