As for their latest track, “Banana Brain”, the song starts with the Yolandi’s high-pitched voice and the expected rave-inducing beat. The tracklist foreshadows a few surprising appearances from renowned burlesque model Dita Von Tesse and comedian/musician Jack Black, among others. In preparation of the new album, Die Antwoord has released a statement, the tracklist, and the first single from the upcoming project, called “Banana Brain”.
Now, they’ve announced their next upcoming album, which will be called Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid. The South African rappers have released three studio albums throughout their short, but prominent career, as well as a collection of EPs and mixtapes. Founded in 2008 by rappers Ninja and Yolandi Visser, as well as their producer DJ Hi-Tek, the group has become the bastion for the ‘zef’ movement, which is a counterculture in Africa that focuses on representing your true self through music, clothing, and thoughts, essentially not caring what others think of you or your style.Īnd, if you’ve seen a Die Antwoord music video or listened to one of their records, you know that the hip-hop group truly does not care what you think of them. When it comes to making strange and freaky hip-hop, no one does it better than Die Antwoord, the rave-rap group hailing from Cape Town, South Africa.
