Die Antwoord – “FAT FADED FUCK FACE”
Eccentric South African rave-rap duo Die Antwoord are set to release their latest full-length, Mount Ninji And Da Nice Time Kid, one week from today. We’ve already heard “Banana Brain,” and after taking a break from promo mode to accuse director David Ayer of jacking their style for Suicide Squad, they’ve dropped the followup “Fat Faded Fuck Face.” It’s not the Donald Trump ode you were hoping for. It’s four minutes of shit talking over a minimal, synth-doused, deep bass-driven trap beat.
Along with the new song comes news that Die Antwoord will disband in September 2017. In an interview with Exclaim!, Ninja says: “Die Antwoord dies on that day. It’s all over. I feel beautiful about it. I’m not scared of the end. I’m a Ninja. I’m not scared of death.” Early on their career Die Antwoord mentioned they would make five albums and “disappear,” so it seems they’re sticking to that plan.
Mount Ninji And Da Nice Time Kid is out 9/16. Pre-order it here.
UPDATE: Phew. Yolandi Visser clarifies on Instagram that Die Antwoord are not breaking up. She also says Daryl sucks.
