Napoleon Da Legend - Broly

Big bank take little bank
I cause a big bang smack ya ghost writer and ya think tank
We got em flanked greet ya flank with a big shank
Got another banger in the tank give thanks
I’m doing big things fucking the budget up
Rock a dashiki in the meeting fuck a button up
U known for showing ya ass I’m known for cutting up
Emotional ass thugs y’all need to toughen up

Black ops regiment, weapons in the arsenal
Bombs and AKs take ya straight to the hospital
DOA got a sniper named Mamadou
Osman, Abdul, Ibou, Mohamed too

Murders a nothing burger, nothing impossible
If money running low lock and load do a job or two
Hit man for hire, send me the bounty
Tell these little rappers get the fuck from around me

Specializеd techniques peak martial artist
Aikido, Wing Chung brеak down ya carcass
These dudes straight garbage jealous ones starving
Ungrateful bastards looking for a bargain

Steel sharpen steel my status is hard to kill
Keep on my foot on they necks till I’m sitting on top of mills
Wanna chop it up and build? Picking brains, that’ll cost ya
Slam you 'gainst ceilings and walls back and forth you
Slap and toss you out the window then applaud you
Have ya wife cook me a meal and then divorce you
Known to slice right thru the BS like sword do
Plead guilty then drop a grenade inside the court room
Fight the whole room and do a dance on top corpses
Celebrate and pop corks with girls looking gorgeous
My vortex defy physics when I talk shit
You seen the matrix, Po is what you call a glitch

High adrenaline, high potency my melanin
Sharp, brash, proud, intelligent
Hustle cause the money make the world go round
I’m copping Stock, ETF's, bonds by the pound

Energetic general, Non-GMO
No chemicals everywhere I go it’s a spectacle
Smacking off the faces of skepticals the god so impeccable
Pharaohgam...
Take it to a level that’s untenable

Still cooking that delectable
Shade and any type disrespect is unacceptable
Stop ya crybaby shit, life ain’t fair
You can black ball, white ball I don’t care

Counting followers fuck nah I make dope and bottle it
Serve it like a Legend till my name go synonymous
Fans in Japan, France, Lagos acknowledge it
A crowd a just start to form when I start popping shit
My future looking promising rap politics
Anarchist, samuraï lace you up with bandages
Transform to my final form then demolish it swing a mighty fist take you back to 96

The mighty prince. you can keep ya crowns tho
Catalogue legendary songs making rounds tho
Old school, new school, nah this NOW tho
They peep what I did still they don’t know how tho...

Napoleon Da Legend - Biography

Bilingual, Hip-Hop/Afrobeat artist, Napoleon Da Legend transferred his skills on the basketball court to the wax. Before that, he had to teach himself English. He kept his ears glued to the radio.

Paris-born, to the Comoros Islands, then Washington DC raised, the son of an immigrant family, Napoleon is a Brooklyn-based artist who uses his voice as weapon of hope, social-critique, conquest, and joy. After an untimely split, his parents left the U.S. and went their separate ways leaving the 16 year old to fend for himself in the DC / Maryland area, which helped him develop his hustle, instinct and work-ethic. NDL’s song “Black Privilege” led him to be featured at the Essence Festival in 2017. He was then invited to perform live on FOX 5’s Good Day DC.

NDL’s message of empowerment, community, and self-determination through music doesn’t stop there. He also works regularly with youth, running hip-hop workshops in Brooklyn’s toughest schools and Rikers Island’s juvenile programs.

Following the release of his “Steal This Mixtape” series in 2016, Napoleon headlined his “Steal This Mixtape” European Tour. He’s been featured on Statik Selekta’s Show Off Radio Show and Sway Calloway’s Sway in the Morning. To top all this, he graced the stage at the final Rocksteady Crew’s 40th Anniversary show at SummerStage in Central Park. In 2019, NDL performed in Europe’s biggest Hip-Hop Festival Hip-Hop Kemp in Czech Republic as Supa Kaiju with rapper/producer Sicknature.

2018 was yet another prolific year, without a doubt. Napoleon released 10 projects- including four albums, four mixtapes, and two EP’s released through various indie labels (Chopped Herring, Media Pop, Copenhagen Crates and Tuff Gong Records). This was followed by eight appearances in 2019 at Harlem Week’s main stage. He then became recognized for his fusing the world’s of Hip-Hop and Anime with albums Dragon Ball G (Dragon Ball Z), Bronze Saints (Saint Seiya) and King of the North Star (Fist of the North Star) in a feature article on Bandcamp (How Napoleon Da Legend Made Anime-Inspired Rap an Artform).

Since then, NDL has released 12 more projects, including the afrobeat/hip-hop fusion projects, “Afrostreet” & “Afrostreet 2”. After creating a few anthems (“Poulet Maafe”), which became popular with his French speaking audience, NDL decided to put his French powers into high gear. In September, 2019, he gave his first in interview in French with Mediapac (Watch it here), garnering over 100,000 views in less than a week. In May 2020, NDL featured on elite French rapper Akhenaton’s (IAM) “Asteroïde” project, trading verses in French and English on the innovative song “Storytellers”. In 2021, NDL was invited to adapt Akhenaton’s 19 minute song “La Faim de leur Monde” in English. They later collaborated on a 3-part EP series called “The Whole in my Heart” produced by Akhenaton on his label La Cosca.
