117 - Gospel Rap is Back w/ 1K PHEW

The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday

Atlanta-based hip-hop artist, 1K Phew joins us fresh off of his 30th birthday to share the meaning behind his “gospel rap.” A "self-proclaimed old soul,” wisdom included, 1K Phew grew up in church before chasing a different lifestyle and getting in trouble with the law. Through that experience, he had a spiritual rebirth and began a relationship with God. He has now taken the hip-hop scene by storm and in his own words, "gospel rap is back.”
In addition to his story, 1K Phew talks to Lynne Stroy and Joey Svendsen about the difference between being a "Christian artist" and "an artist who communicates Christian themes.” He also gives the rationale for why he collaborates with hip-hop artists who don't hold to Christian faith.

At the top of the episode, Lynne, Joey, and Luke Gaikwad discuss "the Cheers paradigm." The idea is that today when you look at pictures of TV stars who appeared in shows in the 1970s and 1980s, while in their 30s and 40s, look to us like they are in their 50s and 60s. It's a thing.
