〈Napoleon Da Legend verse 1〉
Ain’t no question whether the man fly
In any weather I can stand by
Po is the winner by a landslide
I’m in my bag these rappers is sipping similac
I brought the feeling back went thru war
And I’m still intact the real is back geopolitical
Nap Geo, Neo Geo with the syllables
Real graphic, I strategize like Phil Jackson
They wanna know how I did it the fans are still asking
No connects and still I made the flow connect
PG county elevators they be choking necks
Either u live by the code or you gеt no respect
Hustle to make ends and pay rent I know the stress
Made great friends along the way the long way
Nonchalant quiet confidence the calm way
And never sell out for the fame I just sell game
Surpass myself like Gohan in the Cell games
〈Napoleon Da Legend hook x2〉
And I’m reminded constantly
Life is real short and possibly
I can die tomorrow so I gotta live
To the fullest right or wrong still I’m proud of it
〈Napoleon Da Legend verse 2〉
From the trunk of my car to all the streaming service
All free don’t caught sleep when beef occurring
In the street swerving in a Jeep Suburban
Always 3 versions of truth, dodging police searches
Cross-hair on my head feel like a target now
For the fact I expose the real and I call it out
Fake news is rampant they spreading the propaganda
And propping up these puppets with their record advances
And Oppressing the disadvantaged thru means and mathematics
Calculated psy-ops and expensive apparatus
Paying off a few of us to mislead the rest
I wrote this on Barron's roof but that’s T.M.F
Cholesterol and alcohol sexy little dandelion
Walked across the room and told me she a fan of mine
Maybe she’s a agent guess I’m bout to find out
I left some fruit for y’all to eat before my times out
〈Napoleon Da Legend hook x2〉
And I’m reminded constantly
Life is real short and possibly
I can die tomorrow so I gotta live
To the fullest right or wrong still I’m proud of it

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.
