More than two decades after helping put Ugandan hip-hop on the map, rapper The Mith is preparing for a major celebration of his musical journey, bringing some of Uganda’s biggest entertainment names together for THE SO UG EXPERIENCE in Kampala.
The concert is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Kati-Kati Grounds, with the event promising a celebration of Ugandan music, culture and identity under the theme A Flight to Uganda.
For The Mith, whose real name is Tom Mayanja, the show represents an opportunity to bring together different chapters of a career that began with one of Uganda’s pioneering hip-hop groups, Klear Kut.
Alongside Navio, Papito and Abba Lang, The Mith helped shape the early Ugandan rap scene. Their debut album, Mind, Body and Soul, featured the popular collaboration All I Wanna Know with Juliana Kanyomozi and earned the group international recognition, including KORA Award nominations.
He later established himself as a solo artist, developing a reputation for lyricism, storytelling and music rooted in Ugandan identity. His projects include Destination Africa, The Week of September and the The Ugandan album series.
And his musical journey is far from over.
His 2025 album, THE UGANDAN Vol. 2: BALI-OKWABWE, won Album of the Year at the 2025 Uganda Hip-Hop Awards. In June 2026, he reunited with fellow Klear Kut alumnus Navio for GODLVL, a collaborative album that brought the two rappers together again.
Now, those different musical chapters will take centre stage at THE SO UG EXPERIENCE.
The concert will feature performances from Navio, Lilian Mbabazi, Maurice Kirya, Winnie Nwagi, Elijah Kitaka, Feffe, BigTril and Flex D’Paper, among other Ugandan artists.
The diverse lineup brings together performers from different corners of Uganda’s music industry, reinforcing the event’s broader celebration of local creativity.
The show is supported by Uganda Waragi through its SO UG campaign, which celebrates Ugandan creativity, culture and identity. The partnership places The Mith’s music within a wider celebration of what makes Ugandan entertainment distinctive.
For longtime followers of Klear Kut, the concert offers an opportunity to revisit an important chapter in Uganda’s hip-hop history. Younger audiences will also get the chance to experience The Mith’s music and storytelling on a live stage.
With the concert approaching, the organisers are offering several ticket categories to accommodate different experiences.
