Indie rapper Zion-I has an Alice In Wonderland experience at a suburban home. The weirdness begins with a BMX'er in a bunny coat and then hops along to include a tea party, a game of flamingo croquet and other elements directly inspired by the Lewis Carroll fantasy tale. Considering the Wonderland genre is already well-trodden music video terrirtory — Tom Petty "Don't Come Around Here No More" and Gwen Stefani "What You Waiting For" are probably the two best known — it's to the directing team M.A.Y.O.'s credit that they're able to find an original hip-hop slant to going through the looking glass. --> watch "Geek To The Beat"
