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 went from flat broke hit the plateau defacto
Could always rap though snuck in through the back door
Then I started spazzing for stacks though that crack flow
Kakarot smack foes Ragnarok black Thor
Back to my roots like Black Thought to them I take my hat off
This bound to catch on like facing Covid with ya mask off
This is mad cloth Jim Duggin hacksaw
You that soft? Domes I hack off then hustle packs off
It’s that simple…
This the last straw
Was cast off now I’m back like Sashquash
I’m far passed the norm like a Capricorn rap porn
Swing the pen like McEnroe
I’m way past woke
Packed the venue to the last row
Shut it down and close it like Mac Pro
Then I tease you with Nirvana we bring that close
Ya can taste it and feel it it’s Amerigo and Po
Hey yo

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
My capacity to slay shit will leave you incapacitated
Vaccinated with my logo branded in ya skin
Liquid sword style Katana blade slashing ya limb
Broke my shackles then I took the path of a king
These dudes fast food swipe em off as I drive through
Rocking a fly suit rolling with a versatile crew
While they stuck in one spot making moves out of town
Real killers move in silence drop albums with a sound
Peep the spin they want us to win but we still find away
Shoving deals in our face
Our lives we gotta sign away
To shine like McConaughey
Building ya persona making of a star
Bitch you taking space my car
Give you the skinny on some Kate Moss shit
You know the séance lit
Was a fan now I’m getting paid off this
From Japan all the way back to Brooklyn
Serving y’all a dish real fresh got another batch cooking
Good looking
