Album Notes & Community Reviews

Self-released online before securing major label distribution, this debut album introduced the world to the bizarre, highly controversial 'Zef' rap-rave collective. Featuring Ninja's aggressive rapping and Yolandi Visser's high-pitched vocal delivery over abrasive, 1990s rave synths, the project blurred the line between satirical performance art and genuine shock-rap. It became a massive, highly polarizing viral phenomenon that fascinated international audiences.
