WizTheMc – YEBO EP Announcement

WizTheMc Says “Yebo” to a New Era of Sound and Self

South African–German artist WizTheMc is stepping into a new era, one that feels freer, brighter, and more globally attuned than ever. His upcoming project, Yebo, set for release on November 7, 2025, marks both a homecoming and a reinvention for an artist who’s always lived between worlds.

A Global Artist with Deep Roots

Born Sanele Sydow in Cape Town, WizTheMc spent much of his upbringing in Germany before later moving to Toronto to pursue music. That cross-continental journey has become the foundation of his sound, one that merges R&B, pop, hip-hop, and the rhythmic pulse of African music into a genre-fluid style all his own.

While WizTheMc’s sound is distinctly modern, it carries the warmth of his roots. He’s not just chasing trends; she’s carving a space where African spirit and Western polish meet seamlessly.

The Momentum Behind the Music

The momentum leading into Yebo has been undeniable. WizTheMc’s 2025 single “Show Me Love”, produced by Bees & Honey, became a viral breakout, a track that blurred the lines between amapiano, pop, and electronic soul. Its remix featuring Tyla further cemented WizTheMc’s place as a cross-continental voice bridging South Africa and the world.

For many, “Show Me Love” was their introduction to the artist’s infectious melodies and introspective lyrics, a balance of emotion and groove that defines his artistry. But for WizTheMc, it was just the beginning.

What “Yebo” Represents

The title Yebo, a Zulu and Xhosa expression meaning “yes,” is more than an album name. It’s a declaration of self-assurance, openness, and evolution. Across seven tracks, including “Show Me Love,” “Sensational,” “All I Need,” “At the Party,” and “Take My Mind,” the project reflects an artist saying yes to growth, experimentation, and authenticity.

Each song carries a different mood from sleek, late-night grooves to sun-soaked melodies that echo his Cape Town roots. But the throughline remains clear: Yebo is about embracing who you are, wherever you are.

Musically, the project finds WizTheMc pushing his sound further into Afro-pop and retro R&B influences, without losing the introspection that’s defined his earlier work. It’s a reflection of his global story, one that connects Berlin, Toronto, and Johannesburg through rhythm and emotion.

Cultural Crossroads and Creative Freedom

WizTheMc’s artistry thrives in contrast. There’s a European precision to his songwriting, but a South African soul in his delivery. The result is music that feels both international and deeply personal.

As global pop continues to embrace diasporic sounds from amapiano to Afrobeats, WizTheMc represents a new generation of artists who aren’t defined by borders. Instead, they build bridges between them.

“I’ve never wanted to be boxed in,” he’s said in past interviews. “Every move I make, every song I write, is about saying yes  to growth, to change, to possibility.” Yebo carries that sentiment forward.

A Defining Moment

For an artist who’s spent years quietly building an audience across continents, Yebo feels like the statement WizTheMc was destined to make. It’s a project rooted in identity but designed for the world stage, a sonic reflection of joy, confidence, and purpose.

In a landscape where authenticity is currency, WizTheMc stands out for simply being himself, a South African–German artist, saying Yebo to his truth and inviting the world to listen.
