Info
Die Antwoord is a South African hip hop duo formed in Cape Town in 2008. The duo consists of rappers Ninja and Yolandi Visser. Their music, a fusion of hip hop with rave music, is frequently produced by DJ Hi-Tek, and performed in both English and Afrikaans.
Die Antwoord rose to international fame in 2010 through the virality of the music video for their song "Enter the Ninja" on social media and through blog posts, soon signing to Interscope Records and reissuing their debut studio album, SOS, later that year. They parted ways with Interscope in 2011 and independently released their second studio album, Tension, in 2012. Their follow-up albums, the techno-influenced Donker Mag and the trap-based Mount Ninji and da Nice Time Kid, became their most commercially successful releases in the United States, each topping Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Their fifth studio album, House of Zef, was released in 2020.
In film, Die Antwoord starred as fictionalized versions of themselves in both Harmony Korine's short film Umshini Wam and Neill Blomkamp's science fiction film Chappie, while a documentary about them, Zef: The Story of Die Antwoord, was released in 2024.
