**Kwest** (born Kristoff Krane) is a Minneapolis-based rapper, producer, and multidisciplinary artist known for his introspective lyricism and genre-blurring soundscapes. A longtime fixture in the Midwest indie hip-hop scene, he’s affiliated with the Doomtree collective and collaborates frequently with artists like Aunu Aina (who remixed his track “Most High Mama”). His work often balances raw, poetic storytelling with experimental beats, as heard in releases like the haunting “Rot (Cypher25)” and the dreamy “Creation.” Kwest’s catalog—including recent drops like the gritty “Stickup Kid” and the reflective “Lost Cuts”—showcases his knack for weaving personal narratives with off-kilter production, cementing his status as a shapeshifter in underground rap. When he’s not dropping music, you might find him hosting workshops or creating visual art that mirrors his sonic adventurousness.
