Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Boondocks formed in South Africa in 2005, with Ninja and YO-LANDI VI$$ER as the main voices. Their music mixed hip-hop and rap-rave elements, and early tracks like 'Antwoord' caught attention for their raw energy and distinct Afrikaner cultural references.
They released several albums including 'Monkey Bizness' in 2006 and 'Transcendence' in 2009. Songs such as 'Cigarettes R My Only Friend' showed their blend of aggressive beats and personal lyrics, which some listeners connected with while others found provocative.
In 2014, the group faced legal issues in Russia related to charges of inciting racial hatred, though they were eventually acquitted. After returning to South Africa, they continued making music, putting out albums like 'Afrikaan Is Groot' in 2014 and 'Black Is Beautiful' in 2018.
