Trant, 1K Phew, and Yaves collaborate on a hot new Christian rap single titled “Dust” over beat production by K-Drama. “Dust” is based off Matthew 10:14 where Christ says to His disciples, “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust off your feet.”

When trying to spread the Gospel sometimes we get rejected.  We are commanded to depart and dust off your feet (shoes). Stream or download at your favorite digital platform: https://trant.hearnow.com/dust

The summer is looking bright for IVAV recording artist Ty Brasel, who will release his new album, TRANSCENDENT, during the months ahead. The GMA Dove Award nominee keeps his eyes glued to the sky with TRANSCENDENT’s first single – hitting digital platforms today, “GOD IS THE BEST” offers a three-minute blast of street-smart spirituality, delivered by an artist who proudly combines hip-hop momentum with pop melody.

1K Phew makes an appearance, too, with both rappers glorifying their maker over buzzing keyboards, trap beats, upright piano, and thumping bass. Listen to the track HERE.

“It’s a mixture of two worlds: these energetic, powerful verses that really move, and a heartfelt section with piano and singing,” Brasel says of the new song.

Equally powerful is the track’s music video, also out today. The clip was filmed in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, with the San Juan National Forest serving as a picturesque backdrop. Featuring snowmobiles, wintry weather, and stunning landscapes, the video crackles with the electric energy shared by Brasel and his duet partner, fellow artist 1K Phew. Check out the video HERE.

“He just perfectly fit into the track,” says Brasel of 1K Phew, who previously teamed up with the GRAMMY®-winning Lecrae for 2021’s collaborative mixtape No Church In A While. “Some guests get on a song and do their own thing and run it off the tracks a little. But 1K Phew brought his unique style while staying true to what was being created. He made it greater.”

Like the rest of TRANSCENDENT, “GOD IS THE BEST” was produced by Dirty Rice, Joseph Prielozny, and Juice Bangers. Those three producers also helped create Destiny, Vol. 1, Brasel’s 13-song mixtape from November 2021. Working once again with the same team, Brasel found an opportunity to “take everything up a notch, sonically,” while adding new depth and dimension to his lyrical focus on faith, self-improvement, and resilience.

“I’m always finding new ways to innovate and talk about my story in a new way, but my central message is consistent,” he says. “I want to remind people that better days are always ahead, and it’s OK to not be OK, because God sees that and he cares. That’s why God is the best.”

“GOD IS THE BEST” ft. 1K Phew is available now HERE.

Just days after 1K Phew released “The Offering,” the first single and video from his forthcoming solo album, Just As I Am, the nominations for the 37th annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, were announced.

Reach Records, a trailblazing hip-hop label, received four nominations from The Stellar Awards, one of the most prestigious awards in Gospel music, with each going to Grammy Award winning artist, Lecrae, and Reach Records’ rising star, 1K Phew, for their collaborative album, No Church In A While.

Their nominations include for the 37th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Music Awards include:

• Rap/Hip Hop Gospel Album of the Year = No Church In A While, 1K Phew & Lecrae, Reach Records
• Rap/Hip Hop Song Of The Year = “One Call,” No Church In A While, 1K Phew & Lecrae, Reach Records

• Duo/Chorus/Group Of The Year = 1K Phew & Lecrae, No Church In A While, Reach Records
• Music Video of the Year = “One Call,” Caleb Seales & Jerrell Green, Reach Records

1K Phew’s new project collaborative album with Lecrae, No Church In A While, was released on December 3, 2021 and featured 10 tracks including: “Wildin” “Ready Or Not,” “Move It,” “One Call,” “What We Gon Do,” “Amen,” “Blockhead,” “Born Sinner” “Save Us,” and “No Church In A. While.”

The concept for their collaborative album, No Church For A While grew out of 1K Phew and Lecrae’s conversations. Lecrae was recording his mixtape, Church Clothes 4, when it occurred to him that people hadn’t been to church to even put on those church clothes in a while because of the pandemic, church hurt, and other reasons. After hearing some of the songs 1K Phew had recorded for the album, he decided to not only mentor him, but record a collaborative album together.

“No Church In A While has all types of meanings,” expresses 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. It ain’t really that deep. God is waiting for everybody to tap back in. 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.”
