Journey
Sphamandla Mbambo, known professionally as Duncan, was born on November 16, 1995, in the KwaMashu township of Durban, South Africa. His early life in the "Kasi" shaped his identity as a storyteller, leading him to start rapping in his native isiZulu to reflect his surroundings. Duncan’s professional journey began under the Afrotainment banner, where he quickly became a standout figure in the "Vernacular Rap" movement.
He made a massive commercial debut in 2014 with the hit single "Tsiki Tsiki," which sampled a Kwaito classic and earned him national acclaim. This was followed by his debut album, Street Government, which showcased his grit and lyrical prowess. His achievements include multiple South African Music Award (SAMA) and Metro FM Award nominations. A career highlight was his 2020 collaborative album with Zakwe, which solidified his status as one of the country's premier lyricists and cultural icons.
