Abas Abdikarim Bakar, better known as 1.Cuz (born September 23, 1997), is a Swedish rapper of Somali heritage from Hässelby, Stockholm. 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. 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. 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. In August 2025, Ed Sheeran was the secret guest when 1.Cuz played at Gröna Lund performing "2step" with him.
