Hondred Percent aka Paul Forjoe jnr is a Ghanaian artist who performs Purple Shitor. This is hot Ghanaian black pepper (shitor) poetry grooving to bissap (purple) music. Purple and shitor are both metaphorical representations of his music and poetry/lyrics. Purple being the colour of bissap, his favourite drink which the artist links to his music due to the varieties that exist; shitor, a spicy condiment that represents his words.

He has been compared to Manifest (Ghana) and Blitz Da Ambassador (Ghana). He, however, taps into the essence of his Ghanaian and African influences to create unique sound and art. He burst onto the Ghanaian art scene as a rising spoken word artist and rapper in 2011 fusing poetry and rap to make Hip-Hop music.

In 2014 and 2015 Hondred Percent triumphed as the overall winner of the Ehalakasa Slam in which over 40 poets in Ghana contested. He has since performed at numerous events within Ghana and recently Kenya and South Africa. Hondred Percent refers to himself as the Poet Rapper and released his debut Hip-Hop album “WTF?” in June 2017. 

He is currently working on his next body of work code-named LISX set to be released in 2019.
