Brown’s and Veggies’ first collaboration, One On One, details the pair’s sexcapades while Harry Fraud, one of my favourite producers, delivers the goods on the relaxed Perfect Timing as Veggies raps about life in L.A. Opener New Jack City and the piano laced Mike Zombie produced Street Fame explore Veggies’ love of hip-hop and the effects of fame, Canadian Tory Lanez ( who we interviewed recently) pops up on the snapping Can’t Get Enough, while Danny Wolf comes through with a smooth beat on Choose Up. Experimenting with a number of producers and including guest appearances from Dom Kennedy, Chris Brown and Ty Dolla $ign, Customised Greatly 4: The Return Of The Boy, is a well-rounded release that should keep Veggies’ fans happy.

The fourth release of Casey Veggies‘ Customized Greatly mixtape series continues the 22-year-old Californian rapper’s growth as a lyricist. The addition of remixes is a bonus – particular The Black Goats‘ take on Enter Da Ninja and Gods‘ jungle remix of Fok Julle Naaiers – but they don’t add anything new to Die Antwoord’s growing music catalogue.Ĭasey Veggies – Customized Greatly 4: The Return Of The Boy
Album opener Dance Wif Da Devil is more of an intro track and I Don’t Care a slow building dance thumper, with the soft, tribal influenced Dazed And Confused the clear highlight of the new material. Bum Bum is a filthy rap song centred around a sample of a woman saying “even in my bum” (read the story behind the song here) while Gucci Coochie is a club banger featuring Dita Von Teese of all people. There are only five new tracks on the tape, scattered between weird skits and a bunch of remixes of some of the duo’s better known tracks. The two singles already released, Bum Bum and Gucci Coochie, are both indicative of the type of hip-hop/rave hybrid you can expect from Die Antwoord. I can’t claim to be a huge fan of duo Ninja and Yolandi Visser, but their output is always interesting, and Suck On This is no different.Īlthough 13 tracks long, Suck On This is more a taster for Die Antwoord’s anticipated fourth album than any type of cohesive long player. Returning with their first new project in two years, Suck On This finds South African act Die Antwoord as strange and controversial as ever.
