Abas Abdikarim Bakar, better known as 1.Cuz (born September 23, 1997), is a Swedish rapper of Somali heritage from Hässelby, Stockholm.[2] He is known for performing with a white balaclava covering his head.

1.Cuz spent two years in prison, an experience that he later said influenced his musical career.[3] In November 2018, he released his debut single "Akta mannen", and in December 2019, his studio album 1 År reached the top of the Swedish Albums Chart.[4] In 2022, 1.Cuz was featured on a remix of Ed Sheeran's song "2step", and the two later performed together at the Ullevi stadium.[5] In August 2025, Ed Sheeran was the secret guest when 1.Cuz played at Gröna Lund performing "2step" with him. [6]

Community engagement and business activities

Among other things, Bakar has collaborated with activist Greta Thunberg; for example, to call for vaccination against COVID-19. Bakar has also become involved in the climate issue by performing at Fridays for Future's events in 2020 and 2022.[7] Bakar runs the company Pro Mr Investment AB for his activities as an artist.[8]
