Hondred Percent

Hondred Percent (born Paul Forjoe Jnr) is a spoken word artist, rapper, and cultural curator from Ghana whose work bridges creativity, performance, and community empowerment. Known as The Poet Rapper, he first made his mark on Ghana’s creative scene in 2011, fusing poetry and rap into a unique form of hip hop expression that continues to shape his artistry today.

Drawing inspiration from artists such as Jay Z (US), Worlasi (GH), Stogie T(ZA), Saul Williams (US), and even the iconic Mufasa (KE); Hondred Percent delivers performances that are rhythmic, thought-provoking, and engaging. His talent has earned him recognition on both national and international stages. He is a two-time overall winner of the Ehalakasa Slam (2014 & 2015), released his debut hip hop album WTF? in 2017, and published his first poetry collection Lorgorligi Locomotion: A Logologo Collection of Poems in 2021. Over the years, he has performed in Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa.

Beyond his work as a performer, Hondred Percent plays a vital role in Ghana’s poetry ecosystem. He is the Founder and Creative Director of Lorgorligi Locomotion, a cultural platform curating experiences in poetry and comedy. For the past two years, he has hosted Verse & Vibe, a monthly open mic at Kukun, Osu, and in 2025 he launched Sage Poetry, an initiative dedicated to curating Ghanaian poetry through live events and digital archiving. He also co-manages Ghana’s longest-running comedy club, Comedy Bar, alongside comedian James Brown.

A past President of the Poetry Association of Ghana, Hondred Percent designed and manages the association’s official website. Whether performing, facilitating, or curating, he continues to champion spaces that celebrate creativity and empower communities through the power of words.
