Die Antwoord are one of the newest potential flash in the pan interweb music groups. Lyricists Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er alongside the consistently mute DJ Hi-Tek blend rap and rave with a web of Cape Town ghetto speak.
Initially, I thought this group was serious about their white trash, trashiness, but after spending about an hour searching different links and videos, it turns out that this is another carefully orchestrated concept art group using rap-rave as their vehicle. Lyricist Ninja seems to have his proverbial shit together and has an extensive history with similar groups since the mid 90's.
Either way, it should be interesting to see what these guys do after the initial hype dies down. Hopefully Yo-Landi doesn't pull a Marina a la Bonde do Role and quit the band right at the height of things...
