A white rabbit riding bmx + dancing women in tutus + some heavy 808s and dope lyrics = Zion I’s new video. Here is the OKP world premiere for Zion I’s Alice In Wonderland themed video, Geek To The Beat (dir. M.A.Y.O.). Zion I’s new album, The Takeover is in stores now.

I don’t think you’re ready for this one.

Zion I are planning for a big year and I hope they get it. I’ve been a fan of these two for years now and wish them the best! I’m still blasting The Search & The Seizure mixtape. Now we get the first leak from their upcoming album, The Takeover, which is scheduled to drop February 17th on Gold Dust.

“DJ DJ” is a forward thinking homage to the backbone of hip-hop, the DJ. “Planet Rock” style electro gets run through a 2009 prism for a stadium-sized track full of emcee Zumbi’s nimble flow and producer AmpLive’s drums of death. Zion I consistently prove that they know their history, but keep their eyes on the future.

Ok… another post. Mainly because I forgot to post this the other day and don’t wanna go on w/o it being up. Amp Live and Zumbi talk with HipHopOfficial about their new album (The Takeover, January 26th) and taking back hip hop. Don’t sleep on Zion I. Seriously.

My man DJ Ill Will shot this to me this morning but I’ve been so busy trying to work, keep everything update and pack that it got lost in the shuffle. Then Jonathan Hay (Hoopla Media Group!) reminded me and we’re good now. So here goes a little West Coast exclusive…
