Napoleon Da Legend - Piccolo

Sometimes it’s too much stress found to be trapped inside human flesh
Too many critics to address and schemes to assess
Harder times make strong men who bring good times producing weak men who later usher hard times
Chalk lines surrounded carcasses dark times
In the Foggy weather driving inside a car blind
Those who try to snake u be ya friends sometimes
Then u got fend for yourself... sometimes
You gotta sever timеs these pundits is selling liеs
They put a bounty on my body, dead or alive
My will Teflon I bled too long
These Thoughts festered in my soul left for dead too long
Head strong yes, too wrongs don’t a make a right
Expand! Stepping on their necks man don’t make it light
An X-man amongst ordinary folks who made it out the gutter with dose Of extraordinary hope

Chorus x2
Superman’s back stand back
Backhanded slapping these hacks
Full power strength to the max
Only gotta make one move it’s game set match

I’m on track to be best ever
"G" "O" replace the "D" with a "A" guess the next letter
If you said "T" ding ding ding! you correct
Rookie wrecking havoc on the block with a new connect
I told y’all this before
Going against the norm, corny gatekeepers i piss em off
Got my troops swarming like the Yanks in Normandy
I'm dishing out "L"s to the coons, you can hold for me
Chosen from a select few respect due
That tough talk quiet when there’s no one to protect you
There’s no rules in the Savanah just a few cannons
Only a few can do damage in a smooth manner
Scrape the plate make the food vanish
Travel new lands new fans and chicks who only knew Spanish
Don’t mean to brag but the people love this
So fuck it, I make it look easy man it’s nothing

Chorus x2
Superman’s back stand back
Backhanded slapping these hacks
Full power strength to the max
Only gotta make one move it’s game set match

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.
