Lollipop

King Kapisi

Synopsis

A remixed version of a lighter song from Auckland hip-hopper King Kapisi’s third album Dominant Species, this down and dirty number gets a burlesque style treatment from director Sam Peacocke. Behind the Old West frontage of ‘King Kap’s Confectionary’ store (where the brand new flavour is coconut), a very dapper King Kapisi presides over a hallucinatory mix of candy, dancing girls, Donnie Darko-inspired rabbit suits and a striking smoke effect (created from ink spreading on water). Lollipop was voted Best Hip Hip Video at the 2006 Juice TV Awards.
