    At the AIR Awards of 2018, the Baker Boy won Breakthrough Independent Artist with "Marryuna", while the song was nominated for Best Independent Single or EP.[4][5]

    Background[edit]

    Upon release, Baker said: "'Marryuna' means to dance with no shame, to freestyle for the sheer elation of dancing."[8]

    Reception[edit]

    Molly McLaughlin from Purple Sneakers said "'Marryuna' is a danceable party track that incorporates influences from previous generations of Indigenous artists alongside contemporary hip-hop. With a pulsing bass line and bouncy synths, the production is crowded and dynamic in the best way, matching Baker Boy's raucous energy. He can alternate between slow grooves and rapid-fire raps with ease, and carries the audience along with his aura of fearless confidence."[8]

    Apple Music said "Seamlessly slipping between English and his native Yolŋu Matha, Marryuna' is a brilliant, infectious, and incredibly welcome addition to modern Australian music."[1]
