Tyson Sybateli is all guns blazing in his new project titled ‘Present.’ The 8-track mixtape will be hosted by the prominent hip-hop podcast The Sobering. The mixtape was preluded by 2 singles, ‘It Worked’ & ‘No Comment’, released 9 June & 28 July, respectively. To build project drop anticipation on socials and signal that the artist was cooking, ‘No Comment’ coming soon assets had an element of fire to hint mixtape coming.
In his words, the rapper favoured by snakes, Bra Nyoga says the fire element is to pull in attention; he says if there is a fire one cannot just go on as normal, but rather they would be drawn into the fire and be “present in the moment’, hence the mixtape name Present.
