"There have been US-NZ hip-hop collaborations in the past, but none have managed the full immersion treatment that makes White Sunday the first local release to truly speak the global language. And glorious it sounds, too, as Mareko trades uncompromised verses, soaked in New Zealand culture, with international hotshots who must have been befuddled by references to Bic Runga and the Mad Butcher."
Jim Pickney, The Listener
"A member of Deceptikonz, South Auckland's Mareko steps out on his own with 'White Sunday'. After building a strong reputation throughout New Zealand with his brilliant battle MC'ing we are now treated to the finest Hip Hop album our country has produced. Everything you might have expected from this pedigree is delivered upon, Mareko sounds great, the equal of any big name guests. While local production stands up against anything made in the US. Expect this album to become a classic and open the doors for NZ Hip Hop worldwide."
