Die Antwoord Biography

Die Antwoord (Afrikaans: The Answer) is a hip-hop group from Cape Town South Africa consisting of three members Ninja Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek. The band self-identifies as a mélange of several diverse cultures.
The band toured Europe starting in April 2010 and the USA and Canada later that same year.
Die Antwoord lead vocalist Ninja was born Watkin Tudor Jones and was a part of the South African hip-hop scene for many years fronting such acts as The Original Evergreen MaxNormal.TV and The Constructus Corporation. He is known for adopting different stage personas. In the case of Die Antwoord his persona is Ninja: a vulgar and aggressive character who is very different from his previous incarnations. When asked whether Ninja was a character he said Ninja is how can I say like Superman is to Clark Kent. The only difference is I don't take off this fokken Superman suit.
Die Antwoord was later created as a group in 2008 consisting of performers Ninja Yo-Landi Viser (Yolandi Visser) and DJ Hi-Tek. Their debut album sOs was made available as a free download on their official website. sOs features Cape Flats rappers Garlic Brown (aka Knoffel Bruin) Scallywag and Isaac Mutant and Jack Parow and Jaak Paarl (aka Jaak). In 2009 South African cinematographer Rob Malpage (along with co-director Ninja) shot the video for their single Enter the Ninja. The video became popular on the internet nine months later delivering millions of hits to the official Die Antwoord website. Their original South African hosting provider Hetzner disabled their hosting account following massive bandwidth overage caused by the traffic following the site launch. The group were forced to move their hosting to a US-based hosting provider to handle the traffic. The Enter The Ninja video also features Leon Botha a prominent Cape Town artist who is one of the world's oldest survivors of progeria.
