[Verse 1: Napoleon Da Legend]
Mental foggy with the melancholy running with a felons body
Selling Molly ducking federallis
Jealous posse models wink inside elevator lobby
Got the box seat set up how we celebrate and party
Taylor made Cavalli also lay up in Canarsie
Martini Rossi sipping now we switch the car seats
Relax like the shape of suits on Steve Harvey
NDL varsity jackets up in the Barclays
Moxie of a winner all you see the glitter
Very far removed from days of TV dinners
Lunch with the minister no pictures out in public with her
Got the biopic on the way texting the publisher
Whoever fronted now I'm snubbing em
No subs eating breakfast grubbing up in Dublin
Numbers doubling and tripling Napoleon
My art should have a place Smithsonian

[Verse 2: Napoleon Da Legend]
I move the crowd move units move the score on the board
Moving bodies like a coroner when I'm on tour
Meet with ambassadors what up Paul? What's happening?
I say it real like bars after which u put a facts in it (facts)
Maximum ILL my chill is automatic ILL-Matic
Troublesome the clothe that I'm cut from is real fabric
U polyester I'm a jolly good fella
Bread expands shoot with red cams Hollywood set ups
Haters mad when u this nice how could u mess up?
If I made that type of music probably would be fed up
But I don't, Midas touch platinum plus you mad much?
I'm what happens when u talk and then u back it up
Action speaks loud peace clown
Have a seat enjoy the show I'm a beast clown
Dennis rodman offensive when I rebound
Stopping the gun violence rather send a message with a beat down

Bilingual, Hip-Hop/Afrobeat artist, Napoleon Da Legend transferred his skills on the basketball court to the wax. But 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.
