"TEN$ION is even freakier and more absurd...yet simultaneously smart and culturally relevant (they capture South Africa's tumultuous political mood in song)."- Spin


No musical act in recent memory has generated such an intensely polarizing WTF?! kind of reaction...There's no denying the authenticity of the music or their genuine excitement about making it. Ultimately, Die Antwoord represents something weirdly original-itself a rarity in the pop world today."  -Interview Magazine



"Die Antwoord has infiltrated culture in a way that would have been impossible 10 years ago... after their trash culture-celebrating "Zef Side" video hit YouTube in January and quickly launched a swirl of bewildered acclaim the following month, they were hailed as boondocks weirdos, pranksters and evolutionary rap stars...Ninja and Vi$$er are fascinating vocalists and students of hip-hop, able to modulate their voices, rap in Afrikaans and English, weave in snatches of historical rap aphorisms, dazzle with structure and bleat like wounded goats." - Washington Post



"You remember the first time you heard Eminem's "My Name Is" and thought, 'What is wrong with me?" You thought, "This guy is rapping about the most obscene things and telling me to do everything my parents told me not to do, all in one verse, and I love it!".... Die Antwoord is for real. It's dark and it's strange, but this release unapologetically lays to rest any questions anyone may have had about their staying power."

- Consequence Of Sound



"A group of self-proclaimed "zef" (i.e., white trash) South Africans who rap in English and Afrikaans over rave-style beats? Turns out, that's just what hip-hop needed...Die Antwoord don't dispense with rap clichés - they give them a new accent that's both disorienting and thrilling." - Rolling Stone

TEN$ION was recorded and produced in South Africa by DJ Hi-Tek with additional production by Ninja. TEN$ION is presented by ZEF Records, in association with Good Smile, and distributed globally by Downtown Records and COOP Music, Die Antwoord se rympies sal jou fokken kop skop.
