Duncan's Incwadi Yezono: A Masterpiece of Storytelling and Fusion ...

If you’re a fan of storytelling and hard-hitting raps, Duncan’s new album Incwadi Yezono (Book of Sins) is one you need to pay attention to. Duncan delivers an impressive blend of powerful lyricism and streetwise grit every time he grabs the mic. 

The timing of this album couldn’t have been better, dropping shortly after his well-publicized diss of Big Zulu, which was followed by a music video that reignited excitement across South Africa. What many didn’t realize was that the diss was just the beginning—a calculated buildup to this finely crafted project.

Incwadi Yezono is a versatile body of work, packed with a wide range of sounds, melodies, and carefully curated beats that are impossible to ignore. From the very first track, “Umthandazo We Africa,” it’s clear Duncan knows his story, and he’s telling it with conviction and artistry.

One standout track, “Sesfikile,” is a brilliant fusion of Kwaito and rap, featuring Ghetto Child and Juju Bucks. It brings back memories of the golden era of Kwaito, reminiscent of TKZee and Mdu from the late ’90s. Another notable track is “Mastende,” a high-energy song featuring Loki, Just Bheki, and Boni that’s sure to get people vibing.

The album boasts an impressive roster of features, including Zakwe, Q Twins, Intabayasedubai, Aubrey Qwana, Bongo Riot, Azana, Nana Atta, Nolly M, Fekeza Dlamini, Nhlanhla Mhlongo, DJ Tira, and Abdus. Each guest artist brings their unique flavor, enhancing the richness of the project.

Overall, Incwadi Yezono is a beautifully crafted album filled with standout tracks that showcase Duncan’s storytelling prowess and ability to adapt across genres. It’s an album worth listening to from start to finish. Check it out and let us know what you think.
