Reach Records屡获殊荣的 CHH 艺术家1K Phew发布了他即将于 2022 年秋季发行的专辑《As I Am 》中的第三首单曲和MV—— “Safe”。
1K Phew 的精致原始和真诚的直率与认识上帝但流浪街头的人产生共鸣。他之前发行的歌曲“The Offering”和“Church House Trap House”直接为他们说话。
他最新的单曲“Safe”以 Jai’ Len Josey为主角,是一封内省的感谢信,感谢上帝把他从死亡线上救回来。
尽管他在教会长大,父母也是敬虔的祷告者,爱他并鼓励他,但 1K Phew 仍然发现自己在青少年时期走上了一条毁灭性的道路。

“直到有一天我差点被枪杀,我才决定真正将我的生命交给上帝和他的计划。每次我试图按照自己的方式做事时,都没有成功。那件事对我来说是一个转折点。
那天一定是上帝救了我,因为我差点丧命。我不由自主地开始感谢上帝保守我的生命。差点被杀这件事让我当头棒喝。从那天起,我就和以前不一样了。
我专注在与上帝建立个人关系而不是宗教信仰。我很感恩,是上帝保护了我。”
感受到救赎和更新,他便专注于一个更大的目标,创作出可以雅俗共赏的音乐,将人带到上帝面前。
最近在第 37 届年度Stellar 奖上他与Lecrae合作的《 No Church In A While》获得年度Rap/Hip专辑奖。

1K Phew 还与 Lecrae 一起被提名为 2002 年Rap/Hip类的Dove 奖,年度 Hop 专辑(No Church In A While)和年度Rap/Hip歌曲“Wildin”(专辑中的一首歌)。

“我只想通过这种音乐分享我的生活。我要传递的是信仰、希望和鼓励人们在基督里做真实的自己。
我要讲述的故事是我如何克服障碍,”1K Phew 分享道,
“你不能强迫任何人跟随你的方式,但你可以保持前进,让你的光芒闪耀,看着他们来到你身边。”
一起来听听这首最新单曲“safe”:

Yeah, I remember like yesterday, just runnin’ and playin’ my plug
Then I ended up goin’ left for no love
Hoppin’ out that driveway, we thought we got away with doin’ drugs
When we hit the highway, they started to hit the car with them slugs
I was prayin’ “Lord, I ain’t goin’ out like this
I been runnin’ ’round for a long time and I’m tired of it
Yeah, it’s a whole lotta consequences when you finally rich
But if you get me out of this jam, Lord, I’ma go to church every Sunday”
Keep me safe, now lay me down to sleep
And if I’m hurting, get to my knees and pray
Every night, every day, until the sky hope for mercy
I’m not livin’ for the trophies and fame
If today’s my last day, I’ma live it up (Live it up)
Want some life and love and reason in my Solo cup (Solo cup)
So let the church say ayy, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
I hope my angels keep me safe, I hope my angels keep me safe
Prayed up, amen, safe to say I had to earn my second chance
Tryna get me life up still, but they don’t know I know the Big Man
Head high, Mama always told me “Boy, you better quit playin’
‘Cause life ain’t nothin’ to play with, streets gon’ swallow you up like quicksand”
If they cuff you up and take your life away, you screwed
I ain’t tryna be another one on that list, gone too soon
‘Cause I just gotta make it back to my kids, I got a few
Tryna pay my dues, I had somethin’ to lose
‘Cause I always had my neighborhood on the news
And I’m livin’ proof, but I got nothin’ to prove
And I brought my brothers, might as well save them too
Even when I was dead wrong, they would ride for me
And I got some dead-end gone, been inside of me
Lord, they don’t play like homies, I’m for real
Fell to my knees ’cause I’m the one they tryna kill
Lord, keep me safe, now lay me down to sleep (Yeah)
And if I’m hurting, get to my knees and pray
Every night, every day, until the sky hope for mercy (Yeah)
I’m not livin’ for the trophies and fame
If today’s my last day, I’ma live it up (Live it up)
Want some life and love and reason in my Solo cup (Solo cup)
So let the church say ayy, oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
I hope my angels keep me safe, I hope my angels keep me safe
