Big Cousin Mauve - USED TO THE DARK
Ghanaian rapper Big Cousin Mauve, formerly Cousin Mauve, is gearing up to release his highly anticipated single, USED TO THE DARK, on May 9, 2025. The track serves as the lead single from his forthcoming tape FORTUNE, marking a bold step for the Takoradi-born artiste now making waves in Accra’s Hip-Hop scene.
USED TO THE DARK promises a raw exploration of resilience and survival, with Mauve’s signature storytelling weaving his journey from Takoradi’s streets to Accra’s studios. The single has been talked about on socials with fans hyping it as a potential street anthem. The track will debut on streaming platforms with an accompanying music video, said to be in the works.
Mauve, who’s worked with some of Ghana's heavyweights like Pappy Kojo on 1SIMA PART 3, teamed up with peers Kojo Trip, Skerie B4dmon, Chief Kellz, A-Clipse, Aye Jones, and Delasie (fka Iceman) on tracks like THE RESISTANCE and CAME FROM, brings his gritty authenticity to USED TO THE DARK. This is about owning his story, and for Big Cousin Mauve, this song is for anyone who’s fought through the shadows.
Get ready for USED TO THE DARK on May 9 and watch Big Cousin Mauve set the stage for FORTUNE.
