Napoleon Da Legend - Get Richer

〈Napoleon Da Legend verse 1〉
Yo high frequency no 5G
So fly slide inside the spot with no ID
Cat no drive always try to ride a coattail
I got a chick coming you ain’t crashing the hotel
Middle of Prague and I’m feeling just a little groggy
Drank coffee back from the gym chiseled body
No pity parties here homie we work hard
Took a leap, first feet a rebirth sparks
Since I first started
Heads knew when I hit that
Something special happened dude couldn’t spit that
Street griot intellect C.E.O. flex
Neo, Excaliber sword in a text
My Cortex muscle full of hustle, my knuckles drag
Gorilla style bags of money where the duffle at
Whole click official and rich mad talented
Hitting switches in the lab, mad scientist

〈Napoleon Da Legend hook〉
The game got hard some switched up
I just kept getting richer
Reading Karl Marx and Krishna
I just wanna get richer
The game got hard some switched up
I just kept getting richer
Reading Karl Marx and Krishna
I just wanna get richer

〈Napoleon Da Legend verse 2〉
Keep my capital active activist
Collateral damage action pragmatist
Pyramid climber Egyptian scribe
You acting like u seen a ghost babe fix ya eyes
I’m Anubis met a fly reporter, she a nudist
Eating falafels and vegan foods like a Buddhist
I don’t say I’m nicer than them I just prove it
You can buy co-signs but can’t smother what the truth is
Stone face like a putting a mirror to Medusa
I deal with guidelines of honor like a Yakusa
Red rooster off 2 fifth and if the shoe fits?
I’m a wear em proudly until my mood switch
Stanley Kubrick stylish when I shoot flix
Confidential info not for loose lips
You could probably get with it if you was solid
We only go by a code of honor do the knowledge

〈Napoleon Da Legend hook〉
The game got hard some switched up
I just kept getting richer
Reading Karl Marx and Krishna
I just wanna get richer
The game got hard some switched up
I just kept getting richer
Reading Karl Marx and Krishna
I just wanna get richer

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.
