Kwaj is a Nigerian American artist by way of North Carolina. He moved to Michigan where he was introduced to Hip-Hop at a young age. Rap battles on the bus and impromptu freestyles at college kick backs set the foundation for Kwaj’s affinity towards Golden Era elements of hip-hop culture. Mixing in his modern day influences Kwaj’s style can be described as a contemporary nostalgia, centering around meticulously crafted, introspective bars over jazzy, boom bap production.
His best work comes out when collaborating with fellow Foreknowledge member Hobbes Duende, and their song “Clouds in the Sky” is a perfect testament. Kwaj & Hobbes are set to release a 7 track EP in 2024.
With a catalog featuring uplifting lyrics and authentic stories, Kwaj is an artist for fans who enjoy household names such as Joey Badass, Mick Jenkins, Elzhi, and Kota The Friend.
