Duki
Aggressive, auto-tuned Argentine trap that hits like a shot of adrenaline. High-energy anthems for late nights in the city and high-stakes moments.

Duki sounds like the pulse of Buenos Aires at 3 AM. His music is defined by heavy, distorted 808s and a vocal style that sits right on the edge of a melodic rasp and a rhythmic assault. There is a metallic, digital sheen to the production that feels unmistakably modern, yet it carries an organic grit born from his roots in the freestyle battle scene.
What sets him apart is his ability to pivot from raw, aggressive trap bangers to surprisingly vulnerable, melodic tracks without losing his signature edge. His use of Auto-Tune isn't just a correction tool; it is an instrument in itself, used to create a saturated, almost psychedelic texture that mirrors the chaos and intensity of his rise to fame. It is music that demands to be played loud, designed to vibrate through floors and car frames.
Start with 'Goteo' to understand his melodic sensibility and massive cultural reach, then dive into 'Hello Cotto' for the darker, more foundational trap sound that defined his early career. For his most ambitious work, explore the 'AMERI' project where he pushes the boundaries of the genre into more expansive, cinematic territory.
Mauro Ezequiel Lombardo (born 24 June 1996), known professionally as Duki, is an Argentine rapper, singer and songwriter. He is the lead voice of Latin trap in Argentina, thanks to his multiple hits with his singles and his particular style of voice and staging. Duki began to gain recognition for his appearances in rap battles, such as El Quinto Escalón, which was one of the most important in Argentina, created by rapper Ysy A, and where he obtained his first share of popularity when he won it in 2016. He could record his first single, "No Vendo Trap", to pursue a musical career thanks to his victory. He then released the singles "She Don't Give a Fo" and "Hello Cotto", which garnered him multiple views on YouTube and earned Lombardo a massive following in his home country. In 2018, he formed an important musical trio for the Argentine trap, named Modo Diablo, with artists YSY A and Neo Pistea. He then released his debut studio album, Súper Sangre Joven (2019), with the lead single "Goteo" being nominated for Best Rap/Hip Hop Song at the 21st Latin Grammy Awards. In 2020, he collaborated on Bad Bunny's album YHLQMDLG in the single "Hablamos Mañana", which was also nominated in the Latin Grammys for Best Urban Fusion/Performance. In 2021, Duki released his second album, Desde el Fin del Mundo, which reached number one in digital albums in Argentina.
