And as we stepped out into the light, a little bruised and battered, but still ok, we blinked and tried to focus then looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Like when you going through hell, and the mission feels impossible, but you not allowed to fail, and all you can do is keep your chin up and keep going, then when you least expect it you emerge from this dark never-ending hole, and… you made it! And you can’t believe it, and you’ve changed inside and you’re better and stronger and calmer and more fun than you were before you journeyed merrily in2 hell.

Then recently while we was finishing up this album another layer exploded out of our dark wild juicy core like a giant supernatural mega aura and suddenly our album was so epic and sometimes vulnerable and sometimes sweet and romantic and so brave and full of mystery and win. So anyway, then we made some more tracks and the core of the album stayed all dark and ratty but a new layer oozed out around our dark core that was kinda mental and lunatic and random and juicy and 2 much fun and so we changed the name of our album to WE HAVE CANDY. When Ninji, ¥o-landi and God hooked up with The Black Goat and started recording Die Antwoord’s 4th album around 2 years ago the mood of the tracks we started banging out was rough and tough and mischeivious and wild and hard and dark and at that point we were going to call this album RATS RULE, because in life you get the champions and the underdogs and in our minds we sometimes feel like 1 level below the underdogs in this fucked up pop world, but we also know our time is coming, and soon we gonna take over this whole bitch. The duo had a lot to say about the creation of the album, which features actor Jack Black, and frequent collaborators Sen-Dog, Dita Von Teese, and Lil Tommy Terror:

The lead single is “Banana Brain,” and it’s the typical weird, wild, chaotic rave-rap we’ve come to expect from the eccentric duo, with multiple different drops, sections, vocal cadences, and accents that alternate between unrelenting energy and chilled-out peculiarity. They’ve already dropped their Suck On This mixtape this past spring, and now they announce a proper full-length with Mount Ninji And Da Nice Time Kid, set to drop in early fall. The duo incorporates elements of zef culture, appropriating out-of-date cultural elements into their style and music.After breaking a two-year silence with the single “ Dazed And Confused” earlier this year, Die Antwoord is set for a prolific 2016. It is on this label that their second album, Ten$ion, was released. Though they were originally signed to Interscope Records, Die Antwoord eventually founded their own label, Zef Recordz, in 2011. They released their first album, $O$ online for free, attracting international attention for the video for “Enter the Ninja”.
