Formed in 1996, and hailing from the South Auckland suburb of Manurewa, the Deceptikonz are New Zealand's lyrical ambassadors for Hip Hop music. Consisting of 4 MC's: Savage, Devolo, Alphrisk and the mighty Mareko. Introduced to the team at Dawn Raid Entertainment through a cousin in the group KAOS (who had the single and video '2000 Beyond' out through Dawn Raid), the Deceptikonz skills were undeniable. Dawn Raid Entertainment wasted no time in putting the boys straight in the studio, resulting in the group's debut on the underground album of 2001 'Southside Story 2: International' (nominated for 'Best Hip Hop Album' of 2001 at the 95bFM Music Awards). Their breakthrough underground hit 'Elimination' shocked local airwaves with their unique lyrical style and intimidating production, so much so that they were nominated for 'Best New Group' at the 2001 95bFM Music Awards without officially releasing a single.
