Questhood biography

Questhood’s biography.

Rapper – song writer Questhood’s inspiring music infuses Afro-Baka vibes with hip hop into contemporary afro pop and worldbeat rhythms, Creating a unique brand of conscious music that uplifts and inspires.

Questhood, Born Zaki Kumator Unenge, was raised at “Central area”, an infamous part of Katsina Ala town before relocating to Makurdi, the capital city of Benue state.
The rapper said he choose music first of all as a distraction from the street life and it’s accompanying vices of cultism and drugs which were a thing in his neighborhood at that time. And secondly, he choose Rap music as a medium through which he would tell the stories.
Questhood’s early role models and influences were the likes of Kanye west, Nas, Jay Z, Mode 9, Terry The Rapman, MI Abaga and Pusha T. With the rich list of lyrical trailblazers he listened to while growing up, there is little wonder he raps with such lyrical bravado.

Questhood biography

Between 2009 and now, there have been roughly 5 years of career gaps in between largely due to his academic pursuit and his career in the corporate world. It was up until 2020 that the rapper resumed full time music with the successful release of “Love Lost” ft. Ava which took his career to new heights and has since sustained his new level of stardom.
