Die Antwoord (Afrikaans: "The Answer") is a Zef-Rap act from Cape Town, South Africa consisting primarily of three members, Ninja, Yo-Landi Vi$$er and DJ Hi-Tek.
Die Antwoord made their live performance debut in February, 2009 at Ramfest, a yearly alternative music festival outside Worcester, Western Cape, South Africa, where they performed their song “Doosdronk” with punk rock act Fokofpolisiekar and rapper Jack Parow.
The band self-identifies as a melange of several diverse cultures all mixed into one. Because they are white, they have been compared to American rappers Eminem and Vanilla Ice.
The band has signed with Netherlands music company Magnetron Music and is planning to tour Europe in April 2010 and the USA later that same year. They announced via their website that they will be visiting France, Belgium, The Netherlands and The UK as part of their tour, however, the tour has been put on hold indefinitely after band member DJ Hi-Tek went missing in January 2010. Tracks from their upcoming album $O$ are currently available for listening, streamed on their official website.
