Ninja announced six years ago after Die Antwoord's debut $O$ was released that the band was finite and the members planned to pursue other projects after their fifth album was finished.Īnd in another recent headline-making incident, Die Antwoord called out the Hot Topic-branded movie Suicide Squad for "jockin' our style," complete with a mini-clip comparing Joker and Harley Quinn's costumes to themselves - including a long trench coat, tattoos and Ninja's pop art style - on Visser's Instagram profile. Gossip broke out a couple days ago among most major music pubs about a rumored breakup that'll go down after their fifth album and once the group completes a planned feature "gangster film." To be sure, this doomed prophecy is nothing new, and both members continue to deny of the claim. Set to release their fourth full-length album, Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid, on September 16 , Die Antwoord's evolving style shows no signs of running out of magic. Their weirdness and penchant for controversy make them demented champions for offbeat music that broke into the impossible: the mainstream. Heavy Afrikaans-accented rap assassin Ninja, who sways between swaggering fuckboy on the mic to a sincere romantic ( "Ugly Boy"), is the masculine answer to Visser's savage femininity. Like an albino manic pixie who haunts dreams with baby doll coos, Visser turns into a blinged-out nightmare when she raps, sometimes with sweetness, other times with brutal intensity. They're like a zef Cerberus, a foul mouthed three-headed entity that slays and kills whatever they touch, from toy making and starring in films (2015's Chappieand Harmony Korine's Umshini Wam), to the shock-rap that made them famous. Hailed as one of the most bizarre groups in recent pop music history, South African rap-rave trio Die Antwoord, made up of Ninja, Yo-Landi Visser and DJ Hi-Tek.
