Napoleon Da Legend possesses a shakesperian-like ability to shape and mold flows and words into emotional and visceral streams of consciousness. Born in Paris, France and originally from the impoverished Comoros Islands in lower East Africa, N.D.L. grew up in Washington DC giving his music a unique street flavor mixed with a third world perspective.
N.D.L.’s innovative short-film “Wise Men” featuring the late great Sean Price quickly became a cult hit among Hip-Hop heads with its overt challenge of the music industry establishment. His signature wordplay and voice rose from relative obscurity after the groundbreaking “Oxygen” record featuring Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon.
He has since been touring Europe and the United States having been tapped to perform at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival in June 2015 and France’s HipOpsession Festival alongside legendary French DJ Poska in February 2016. He was a featured artist on Huffington Post Black Voices Freestyle Fridays in March 2016.
“Sacrifice” is featured on Napoleon Da Legend’s latest release, ‘Steal This Mixtape’ which is now available for free download: http://bit.ly/StealThisMixtape
