They then toured extensively, taking in Australia, New Zealand, America and Europe. They enjoy a strongly cult following, and are associated with prolific fan art, some of which has been used in their music videos.ĭie Antwoord first performed internationally in 2010 in front of 40,000 people at the Coachella Festival.
The band has referred to its creative output as documentary fiction, with a strong emphasis on innovation and shock value. Ninja later said that these stints were great preparation for the later creation of Die Antwoord. Ninja, the band's lead vocalist has long been a player on the hip-hop scene in South Africa, fronting acts that include the Constructus Corporation, The Original Evergreen and MaxNormal TV. They also announced Donker Mag as their third album, for 2014. Following this release, the band toured Europe and released snippets from Cookie Thumper, which included a new video. They followed the album with a single, XP€N$IV $H1T. The singles from this album thrust Die Antwoord into the international spotlight, and they performed on US talk shows. They briefly signed up to Interscope Records, but rapidly moved over to their own new label, Zef Recordz in 2011 to release album number two - 10$ion. Single Evil Boy, produced by Diplo, features a section by guest rapper, Wanga. It featured guest rappers including Scallywag, Knoffel Bruin, Isaac Mutant, Jaak Paarl and Jack Parrow.

Their debut album, $0$ was released free online and immediately attracted attention from a global audience, particularly for their Enter the Ninja music video. US critics and journalists are often known to ask whether their creative works are authentic, or an elaborate hoax or joke, however their fans know better, and the band's ascent into the spotlight has been rapid indeed. Their image is powerfully counter-culturalist, drawing from Roger Ballen's works and Zef counter-culture - the latter known for being trashy and modern, and referencing old-fashioned everyday objects, such as souped-up cars and gold jewellery. Launching in 2008, the duo comprises vocalists Yolandi Visser and Ninja, with production by DJ Hi-Tek. Die Antwoord is a rap-rave band hailing from Cape Town in South Africa, performing their distinctive musical sound in English, Xhosa and Afrikaans.
