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
