Mousv’s career dawned in 2019 with the release of debut mixtape OV. Since then, the rapper has proven his duality as an artist equally capable of brutally candid introspection and sharply constructed social critiques. Over soundscapes shaped by ghostly trap beats, Mousv builds on the stormy emo rap of his debut to take listeners on a broodingly dissonant sonic journey. In razor-sharp couplets, he gives a bird’s-eye view of his home turf of Ismailia, using the Egyptian city as a backdrop as he chases shadows from his past and looks ahead to the road his generation will follow in the future.
