Self-proclaimed white trash rappers Die Antwoord have signed with Bellville-based indie record label Rhythm Records for the release of their debut album $O$ album. The band will be playing a one-off show at The Bassline, Joburg, on 2 October, 2010 before continuing their tour abroad.
Die Antwoord has signed internationally to Interscope Records, which boasts artists like Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent.
The group's first international hit, Enter The Ninja, entered the UK's Top-40 Chart in the week of 13 September. Significantly, the chart is the only official UK chart and is based entirely on actual sales. Recently, Die Antwoord also completed a number of videos, including filmed skits and documentaries, and more videos are currently in pre-production. Die Antwoord is also presently liasing with a Japanese toy giant on a range of Die Anwoord Toys.
