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 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.

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.

[5] Son of lawyer Sandra Viviana Quiroga and graphic designer Guillermo Luis Lombardo, he has two siblings, Nahuel, a sound engineer, and Candela.

[6] Raised in La Paternal, he had a solid musical influence thanks to his parents, who listened to Argentine rock, salsa, disco and Latin pop.

[7] Around 2015, he appeared for the first time in El Quinto Escalón, a competition celebrated in Parque Rivadavia, a very centric park in Buenos Aires.

This allowed the competition to become recognized very quickly, with a lot of young rappers starting to rise to a massive following, such as Paulo Londra, Lit Killah, or Trueno.

[11] Thanks to his increasing fame, Duki was signed to Mueva Records and released the singles "She Don't Give a Fo" and "Hello Cotto" with producer Omar Varela to launch his music career.

The first one was certified gold by Spain's PROMUSICAE, and both singles suprassed a 100 million views on YouTube, establishing Duki as one of the most promising trap artists in Argentina.

[14] Two weeks later, he participated in Khea's single "Loca", with rappers Cazzu and Bad Bunny, which ranked 45 in the Hot Latin Songs chart and went gold by the RIAA.

[20] However, during this time, Duki began to have anxiety attacks, and started a drug dependency, while living in residence called La Mansión with the other members of Modo Diablo.

At the end of the year, Lombardo refused to sign with Sony and Universal, and was part of the jury of the Red Bull Batalla de Gallos contest, held in Argentina and won by fellow rapper Wos.

[24] In March, Duki was part of the mega-collaboration in the Neo Pistea's remix single "Tumbando el Club", which peaked at number 3 in Argentina Hot 100.

This song would end up being part of Duki's debut studio album, Súper Sangre Joven, with other tracks such as "Hitboy" (with Khea), "Te Traje Flores" and "A Punta de Espada" reaching into the Argentina Hot 100 chart.

At the beginning of the year he participated in the Bad Bunny album YHLQMDLG in the track "Hablamos Mañana", that earned a nomination for Best Urban Fusion/Performance in the 21st Latin Grammys.

[36] On 4 March, he participated in Rusherking and Tiago PZK's single "Además de Mí", which peaked at number one on Argentina Hot 100 chart.

[37] In 16 March Duki released the second and lead single from his next album, titled "Chico Estrella", which reached number 31 on the Argentine Hot 100.

[38] On 1 April, Duki was featured on Khea's single "Wacha", which reached number three on Argentina Hot 100, the third time the duo has entered the chart.
