about

Producer Amerigo Gazaway and Napoleon Da Legend flex their creative chemistry on a new collaborative project, “The World Changed”.

Connecting on the outset of the Covid pandemic, the duo’s rapper-producer formula showcases NDL’s introspective lyricism while highlighting Gazaway’s growth and evolution as a beatsmith.

“Amerigo and I connected in a time of great turmoil and change both on a planetary scale but also on a personal scale in both our lives. His ear for highlighting the “soul” of a sample really gave me the space to dial into the many emotions I was sorting through during that period.” - Napoleon Da Legend

Working in tandem to keep the cohesion heard throughout the album’s 16 song tracklist, NDL finds his pocket on a range of emotions over versatile beats composed with Gazaway’s signature nuances, scratch hooks and interview soundbites.

“This is an album about survival...it’s about navigating and adapting to an ever-changing world while struggling to maintain one’s sanity and peace of mind. Napoleon is a true master of his craft as a poet/storyteller and I think that’s something that really shines through on this record." - Amerigo Gazaway

With assists from vocalist La Bruja, Brooklyn’s Skyzoo, and three appearances from rapper Awon, The World Changed delivers focused bars rooted in Boom-Bap and Soul.

lyrics

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
I’m an amalgam of Malcom and Marley
Shaq and Barkley, Springsteen and Paul McCartney
The speech is godly, the uniform is human form
Black unicorn the karmic level I’m at is rated Buddhist porn
My pseudonym was born on basketball courts
Masterful thoughts let my life take its natural course
Maximum force they try to stop us with fibs and all types of gossip
Try to profit through crisis it’s just a microcosm
More than twice I seen the bottom and I climbed out
Shout out to the sun for shining I had to grind out
This numerology chicks told me I was I’m number one
Losing is cumbersome winners in my circumference
Thoughts of abundance sipping coffee up in London
Pulling stunts ducking bullets from guns looking for funding
Out the venue stumbling drunk, this life is humbling
Is it all pre-destined or random? Got me wondering

[La Bruja & Napoleon Da Legend hook]
*Chant*

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Every day we wake up ready that war we be waging
Northface and court cases coordinating tours around nations
Yellow white and brown faces and it sounds racist
So many artists getting lit without a foundation
And then the hype dies its lights out goodbye
That was good try ya careers just flat lined and died
Never had a budget yet I get wild numbers
How long could you survive after the system malfunctions?
Malnutrition french fries and fried chicken
Get ya mouth fixed all you do is spit cow shit
I’m on the couch lit quarantine politics
Knowledge the etymology my mind shine like halogen
You’ll probably read about it I’m Buddha under the Bo tree
The streets promote me figured the hack out like Oakley
Sharp like my obliques
Yogi I meditate in wild poses
Drawing you a picture with a child’s focus

[La Bruja & Napoleon Da Legend hook]
*Chant*

[La Bruja outro]
*Mantras*
