Die Antwoord: Ten$ion – review

In 2010, this filthy-mouthed South African rap trio pulled a Lana Del Rey, garnering magazine covers and arguments over authenticity, when the video for their single "Enter the Ninja" went viral. There's no shock of the new this time and the cheap thrills of their fairground synths have palled now they represent the ubiquitous David Guetta-endorsed sound of commercial rap. But vocalists Ninja and Yolandi's double act still sounds weird and abrasive in the best possible way, his guttural, Afrikaans-accented rasp clashing compellingly with her helium-voiced flow, particularly on "So What?" and the needling "Hey Sexy".
