Tyson Sybateli - Cheers ft. Thabiso Moya & Regaugetsue Refenyeditswe Leshabane

South African rapper Tyson Sybateli brings a distinctly local influence into Amehlo with “Cheers,” a 4-minute-and-26-second track positioned ninth on the 14-song album. The record arrives immediately after “Advertisement” and just before “Teflon Cards,” placing it at an important point where the project begins moving toward its more reflective closing stretch. Amehlo was released through Too Much To Lose on September 22, 2026 and runs for 46 minutes and 40 seconds, with Qobuz listing “Cheers” as one of the album’s explicit Hip-Hop/Rap selections. With Thabiso Moya and Regaugetsue Refenyeditswe Leshabane connected to the song’s creative framework, the track adds another collaborative layer to a project already shaped by recurring contributors.

What separates “Cheers” from several other songs on the album is the way Tyson Sybateli deliberately taps into South African musical history. In his interview with The NATIVE, he confirmed that the track references both Trompies and HHP, while also revealing that additional local influences are hidden within the song for listeners to identify. He linked those choices to the rebellious concept behind Amehlo, explaining that Kwaito became important to the project because of its history as youth-driven music that emerged from a period of political and social resistance. This makes “Cheers” more than a nostalgic gesture; it becomes part of Tyson Sybateli’s attempt to connect modern alternative rap with older South African sounds that carried their own cultural defiance.

For listeners searching for Tyson Sybateli – Cheers, Thabiso Moya, Regaugetsue Refenyeditswe Leshabane, new Mzansi hip-hop or Kwaito-influenced South African rap, the track offers one of Amehlo’s clearest bridges between generations. Its references to Trompies and HHP give longtime local music fans familiar touchpoints, while Tyson Sybateli’s futuristic album concept places those influences inside a much more contemporary conversation about surveillance, conformity and artistic independence. Sitting directly before the deeply personal “Teflon Cards,” “Cheers” helps broaden the cultural vocabulary of the album while showing that Tyson Sybateli can celebrate South African musical heritage without simply recreating the past.
