Ugandan hip-hop artist THE MITH, also known as Mr So UG, is set to bring audiences together for THE SO UG EXPERIENCE, a live music and cultural celebration scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Kati Kati Grounds in Kampala. This event is an invitation to experience Uganda through the music, stories, identity and creative expression of one of the country’s most distinctive hip-hop voices. THE MITH’s artistic journey and his longstanding celebration of Ugandan identity will be the focus of the evening.
THE SO UG EXPERIENCE is more than a concert; it is a journey through THE MITH’s Uganda, celebrating the country’s sound, stories and creative excellence. The event draws inspiration from the idea of a musical journey — one that takes audiences through the artist’s catalogue, the evolution of Ugandan hip-hop, and the wider cultural influences that have shaped his sound and worldview. THE MITH has built a reputation as a lyricist and storyteller committed to documenting experiences, asking questions and expressing the realities of Ugandan life through hip-hop.
Throughout his career, THE MITH has explored identity, belonging, ambition, social consciousness and the complexities of African life through music. His work has contributed to the evolution of Ugandan hip-hop, demonstrating how the genre can serve not only as entertainment but also as a platform for storytelling, cultural expression and reflection. THE SO UG EXPERIENCE brings these different elements together in a live setting, inviting audiences to revisit the music, discover the stories behind it and connect with the ideas that have defined THE MITH’s journey.
THE SO UG EXPERIENCE arrives at a significant point in THE MITH’s career, following the release of his album THE UGANDAN Vol. 2: BALI-OKWABWE in July 2025, which earned recognition at the Uganda Hip-Hop Awards 2025, winning Album of the Year. His career has also extended beyond recorded music into live performance, cultural conversations and creative platforms designed to spotlight Ugandan talent and ideas. Through initiatives such as The So UG Podcast, THE MITH has continued to explore Ugandan identity, music, creativity and excellence.
Audiences attending THE SO UG EXPERIENCE can expect an evening centred on THE MITH’s music and artistic journey, presented as a celebration of Ugandan identity and the evolution of his sound. The event’s vision places the artist’s catalogue at the centre of the experience, creating an opportunity to revisit familiar records, connect with the messages behind the music and experience the songs in a live concert environment. Beyond the performance itself, the event seeks to create a strong sense of occasion — bringing together music lovers, creatives, cultural enthusiasts and audiences who appreciate the role music plays in shaping identity and community.
THE MITH is a Ugandan hip-hop artist, songwriter, podcast host and creative entrepreneur whose work centres on lyricism, storytelling and cultural identity.

THE SO UG EXPERIENCE represents an opportunity for THE MITH to bring together music, culture and community in a setting that celebrates what it means to be Ugandan. The event is an invitation to audiences to take pride in their own stories while celebrating the creativity that continues to emerge from Uganda.
