Reach Records artist 1K Phew is back and bolder than ever with the release of What’s Understood 3 (WU3), the highly anticipated third installment of his acclaimed What’s Understood series, dropping Thursday, October 31, 2025.
The 17-track project marks a new chapter in Phew’s evolution — a fusion of spiritual authenticity, Atlanta trap energy, and unshakable faith. Following the success of What’s Understood (2019) and What’s Understood 2, Phew continues to stand out as one of Christian hip-hop’s most relatable and street-rooted storytellers.
Opening with a commanding “Intro,” the project wastes no time reintroducing Phew’s unapologetic voice before diving into hard-hitting anthems like “Cascade,” “Church House,” and “White Tee.” The standout track “Ain’t He” — featuring WHATUPRG and Ty Brasel — celebrates gratitude, grace, and everyday victories with a melodic, faith-filled swagger. The album also boasts a lineup of powerhouse collaborators, including Lecrae, Forrest Frank, Torey D’Shaun, Anike, Aha Gazelle, and more.
“WU3 is my story in real time; the highs, the lows, and the moments God kept me when I didn’t even realize it,” says 1K Phew. “I wanted WU3 to sound like motivation you can ride to and live by. It’s faith in motion for the lost who’s still trying to get it right. I’m not preaching perfection—I’m showing progress and pushing unity. That’s what WU3 is about.”
Anchored by the viral momentum of “Move It” and powered by more than 1 million monthly listeners, What’s Understood 3 solidifies 1K Phew’s place as a spiritual trailblazer in the hip-hop landscape — a soundtrack for believers who move with purpose and walk in progress.
