Mduduzi Ncube, the talented musician from Hammarsdale near Durban, has officially parted ways with Inkabi Records to focus on his own record label, Blvck Bird Studios. The announcement comes after Inkabi Records, owned by renowned rapper Big Zulu, released Mduduzi from his contract. Over the years, Mduduzi has established himself as a force in the South African music scene, producing hits such as Dear Ex Yami and Angisakhoni that captured the hearts of fans across the country. His journey with Inkabi Records played a crucial role in shaping his career, providing him with the platform and exposure necessary to grow his brand. For Mduduzi, the separation represents a new chapter, one in which he aims to carve out his own path and explore fresh creative opportunities.
Mduduzi expressed deep gratitude towards Big Zulu and his team for the support and guidance he received during his tenure at Inkabi Records. He acknowledged the role the label played in building his reputation and helping him reach new audiences. “I want to thank Big Zulu for such a huge opportunity, for believing in me and also nurturing and building this brand. I also want to thank his team but now I have to venture on my own journey and embrace new opportunities,” Mduduzi said. His words reflect the mutual respect between artist and label, highlighting a professional relationship that prioritizes growth and development.

I wish him all the best on his new journey and I wish his ancestors and God may lead him,” he said. This endorsement reinforces the positive relationship between the two artists and underscores the collaborative spirit within the South African music industry. Fans of Mduduzi can anticipate that his work under his own label will carry the same level of passion and innovation that marked his time at Inkabi Records. The foundation laid by Inkabi Records will likely continue to influence his music and business approach moving forward.
Mduduzi’s rise to prominence began in 2019 when he captured public attention by camping outside DJ Tira’s office in Durban, playing his guitar until he was noticed. This bold move ultimately led to his signing with Inkabi Records, a decision that proved pivotal in his career. Under the label, Mduduzi honed his craft and became recognized as one of South Africa’s most talented musicians. His journey is a testament to perseverance, talent, and strategic career decisions that allow artists to grow while staying true to their vision. The support he received from Inkabi Records provided him with both credibility and a strong fan base, which he now carries into his independent venture.
Mduduzi is preparing to release his debut single under Blvck Bird Studios, marking the official launch of his independent career. This move represents more than a change in management; it reflects his desire to innovate and expand his artistic horizons. Fans can expect music that continues to showcase his signature style while exploring new sounds and themes. The launch of Blvck Bird Studios also positions Mduduzi as a mentor and leader, potentially providing opportunities for emerging artists in South Africa. With his experience, talent, and determination, Mduduzi is poised to make a significant impact on the music industry as he begins this new chapter of his career.
