Duki’s ‘Rockstar’ Rise (and Challenges) Shine in Netflix Doc Trailer

Duki’s meteoric rise in Argentina’s trap scene will be the focus of a new Netflix documentary. On Friday, the streaming service released the first trailer for Rockstar: Duki Desde el Fin Del Mundo, premiering Oct. 2.

Directed by Alejandro Hartmann, the film traces Duki’s evolution from freestyler to cultural phenomenon in South America and Spain. “People saw with their own eyes that I was a little kid like any other,” a young Duki says in the clip, speaking of his rise doing freestyles for El Quinto Escalón. “Before freestyling, I wanted to make music.”

The trailer weaves together moments of acclaim and criticism, along with emotional family memories, including an interview with his mother in tears, recalling, “I couldn’t believe what I was looking at!” as home videos of him as a baby play.

“At a turning point in his career and artistic identity, Mauro finds himself shedding his skin and confronting his inner demons to carry forward the story of Duki and the movement he represents,” reads the synopsis. “Who is Mauro, and who is Duki in the end?”

The teaser also features appearances by Bizarrap and Young Miko. “Duko is like putting on the superhero suit,” says Duki at the end of the video.

Rockstar: Duki Desde el Fin Del Mundo comes several months after he released his album 5202 in July, featuring “Golfista,” “5202 Type Beat,” and “Agarro La Plata.” And in 2024, Duki welcomed Myke Towers, Eladio Carrion, YG, and Lil Wayne on Ameri.

“For this one, we gave ourselves a lot of time,” he told Rolling Stone when discussing the record back in December. “I’m very in the moment, so it’s hard for me to make an album and hold it for a while, and then go back into the studio to re-record things, but I felt like it was worth it for this.”
