The South African rap duo Die Antwoord is back at it again with visuals for “Ugly Boy,” one of the single’s from June’s Donker Mag. The video was made by the artists themselves: Ninja directed while Yo-Landi Vi$$er produced.
This video follows in the tradition of previous visuals released by the group, specifically calling to mind some of the imagery from “I Fink U Freeky.” In one scene, the pair spit rhymes in gold jumpsuits in front of a velvet curtain. In another, blood drips down white walls and out of Nina’s mouth. Die Antwoord classic aesthetics abound: black-out eye contacts, patterned oversized sleeveless hoodies, and Yo-Landi’s signature high-waisted hot shorts plus crop top combo outfit.
To make this video happen, Die Antwoord enlisted the help of some famous friends: Jack Black, Marilyn Manson, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, the ATL Twins, Dita Von Teese, and even supermodel Cara Delevingne all make appearances throughout the video. This video has a clean polish, which emphasizes the cool, slow beat. The “zef-so-fresh” attitude championed by the pair takes a back seat for this recognizably chiller, but still club-popping, jam.
