Napoleon Da Legend - God Complex

〈Napoleon Da Legend verse 1〉
Gabana Dolce in a cabana you couldn’t locate
The don wilding like Maradona on some cocaine
Pot of gold over the slow pay 'OKAY!!!'
Dodging court cases getting Medicaid co-pays
They say I’m going places I've been going places
Most the shit you fantasize about is overrated
Sorry to kill it for you I just came kill it for you
California good weed’ll make em silly for you
You rocking Tin foil listening to Alex Jones
Paranoid like the plot from novels of Donald Goines
I’m popping coins crypto fell, I lost money
Caught up in that hypno spell
Out of town in a shit hotel with wholesale hoes for sale
Cold spell like Neptune’s with no Pharrell yo for real
Fall off get back up
Keep pushing like a Mack Truck
I dont believe in bad luck

〈Napoleon Da Legend hook x2〉
God bless he gotta god complex
Turn the conversation from a "nah" to a "yes"
Spit bombs that’ll turn the Taj Mahal to a nest
What’s ya final statement? Pharaohgamo is the best

〈Napoleon Da Legend verse 2〉
Say no less I pay no cents to no threats
I’m connecting mad hallows to heads
No Beyoncé fuck that ain’t no best
Unless it’s Po that go together like a Lego set
The king, I racketeer rap and make a stack appear
A few likes don’t mean u got a rap career
Stab you with an African spear I’m on my exodus
Ya imagination can fathom where my level is
My daily regiment is Navy Seal like
Projects come out fresh like what a baby feel like
Who’s next to catch a guillotine slice to the neck
Don’t even write em yet the words go right thru ya flesh
Still living off ya high school rep?
Let me help ya with a pill that’ll put u in ya rightful rest
Giallo on point Beats Nuts like Psycho Les
Its code red, why the God lead the mic so blessed hey yoo yoo yoo

〈Napoleon Da Legend hook x2〉
God bless he gotta god complex
Turn the conversation from a "nah" to a "yes"
Spit bombs that’ll turn the Taj Mahal to a nest
What’s ya final statement? Pharaohgamo is the best

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.
