Dreamville signees EARTHGANG are revisiting their 2019 album Mirrorland with an accompanying music video for “LaLa Challenge.”

Directed by Strangeloop, the animated visual peaks behind the curtains of the album’s magical world, heavily inspired by the 1978 movie-musical, The Wiz. Duo Olu and WowGr8 are shown as traveling adventures, coming across different types of characters ranging from animals to humans, cyborgs, aliens and more as they cohabitate together on this planet — and together they are EarthGang.

Mirrorland marks the duo’s last full-length release, plus an extensive appearance on Dreamville’s Revenge of the Dreamers III. The duo, along with their fellow labelmates, garnered two GRAMMY nominations for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance for “Down Bad.”

Watch EARTHGANG’s “LaLa Challenge” music video above.
