His arm features tattoos that include male genitalia, while a giant centipede is depicted crawling up his shin.
In addition, MC NINJA, the frontman of the new South African rave-rap act DIE ANTWOORD (which translates to The Answer in Afrikaans), makes sure his extensive collection of body art is always on display, adhering to a policy of wearing only shorts.
This self-proclaimed rapper, who boasts “serious gangsta skill,” discovered his musical path alongside childhood friends DJ HI-TEK and the chipmunk-voiced vocalist YO-LANDI VI$$ER.
Their latest video is heavily censored.
Ninja attributes the creation of their distinctive ‘Zef Rap-Rave’ sound to Hi-Tek, who “owns a PC computer,” while the MC contributes incisive lyrics that reflect life in the ghetto.
Phrases such as “open your mind as quick as a fart” hint at the chaotic struggles within his tormented mind.
In their YouTube videos, Ninja and Yo-Landi showcase their dance skills, with the MC revealing a penchant for playfully wiggling his package in close-up shots.
Hi-Tek, who carries a bit more weight than his counterparts, remains largely motionless during performances, aside from a subtle rhythmic nod of his head.
The eccentric trio is set to release their debut five-song EP, aptly named 5, on September 13.
First, you can catch them live when they travel from South Africa to perform at the LED Dance Festival in London.
Fans are eagerly anticipating their performance for Australian audiences.
