Timbaland and 1K Phew Bring “Street Gospel” to The Morning Hustle

Legendary producer Timbaland and rising Christian hip-hop star 1K Phew stopped by The Morning Hustle to break down their new collaborative album, Seven Trumpets. The duo call their sound “street gospel”—music that carries the flavor of the streets while delivering a spiritual message. As 1K Phew put it, “I’m saved, not soft.” The project drops October 30th and aims to reach folks who love real hip-hop but still want faith at the center.

Timbaland got personal about his spiritual journey, sharing that he now wants to make music that glorifies God. “This is my way of just walking into the kingdom and letting God drive the car,” he said, describing how connected he felt working with 1K Phew.

The conversation also touched on how the music business has changed. Timbaland spoke on the devaluation of production, remembering the days when a single beat could go for half a million dollars—now it’s the “send me a pack” era, where digital access has reshaped everything. One of the biggest moments came when Timbaland named Missy Elliott as the hardest artist he ever produced. She “pushed me to the white meat,” he admitted, praising how she stretched him to his creative limits.

Timbaland kept the gems coming, addressing rumors about a new Jay-Z album and teasing hopes for a Virginia-focused compilation with Pharrell Williams that would celebrate their shared roots.

From faith to future projects, Timbaland and 1K Phew delivered a conversation that bridged culture, community, and creativity.
