100DegreesX live show hits National Theatre tonight
Ghana’s vibrant music and entertainment industry is set for a new experience with 100DegreesX, a creatively curated live show that blends music, performance, and ‘djing’ (disc jockeying) into one electrifying night.
Set for this evening at the National Theatre, the event promises to take audiences on a thrilling journey of sound and energy, led by celebrated hype man, KabuteyMyMc, and the dynamic DJ Wuushman.
The event will deliver a new level of showmanship and creativity, blending music, art and performances under carefully curated themes.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic, KabuteyMyMc – real name Kabutey Ocansey – said 100DegreesX would immerse audiences in an experience that went beyond sound, transforming the National Theatre into a vibrant hub of rhythm, energy and interaction, where every moment would feel fresh and unpredictable.
“This show is built on synergy with back-and-forth of rhythm, creativity and mood. People won’t just hear the music; they’ll feel it. They’ll live it,” he said.
Rationale
Mr Ocansey explained that 100DegreesX was born out of a desire to bring something fresh and different to Ghana’s entertainment calendar.
“We’ve always known that when an MC and a DJ connect perfectly, magic happens. We wanted to put a twist on Ghana’s music-event scene to create something more immersive, vibrant and unpredictable,” he said.
Bridge gap
KabuteyMyMc added that the show was designed to bridge the gap between live performances and audience connection.
“Most shows focus only on the artistes, but this one is about the experience. Every sound, transition and act has been intentionally curated to draw the audience in. We want people to leave saying they didn’t just attend a show, they were part of it," he said.
Kabutey added that the team intended to make the event an annual experience with regional editions in the near future.
Sharing his excitement, DJ Wuushman, known offstage as Kwaku Ofei Addo, said his partnership with Kabutey brought together the perfect blend of rhythm and performance.
“Kabutey commands the crowd like no other, and I feed off that energy. Together, we create moments that stick. 100DegreesX is not a concert; it’s a journey.”
Touching on the role of DJs in today’s entertainment industry, DJ Wuushman stressed that their contribution often went beyond just playing music.
“A good DJ doesn’t just spin records. He reads the room, controls the tempo, and sets the emotion for every moment.
The DJ is the heartbeat of any event, and that’s why Wuushman’s craft is central to 100DegreesX,” he stated.
"Without that connection, the experience wouldn’t come alive.
We are giving attendees an experience that will leave an indelible mark on their lives.
They will know that you can bring the club anywhere," he added.
Rapperholic
For his part, award-winning rapper, Sarkodie, threw his weight behind the project.
“Yo, what’s going on, my people; it’s your boy Sarkodie here.
You know, sometimes you guys call me Kabutey, but my brother, I mean the real Kabutey, is up to something really big, 100DegreesX.
You guys don’t want to miss this one. See ya," he stated in a promotional video.
