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.

“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]
Slave to my desires pulled by society’s wires
Maniacal mind finding myself confined by time
In hindsight out of sight is out of mind right
Our body’s finite regulated at 98 Fahrenheit
The whole economic system could crumble off a parasite
We all seen it yet they still label me an erudite
Another day in paradise with death at every corner
Dodged it so many time I got a legendary aura
With the blessings of the ancestors who we owe our lives to
Needed sober eyes to see the truth did what I need to do
Are we in control? Are we just batteries?
To feed the system fueling it, running off of calories
Anarcho-oligarchs and hierarchies
Pyramids malignant cells inside of biopsies
Psy-ops from the CIA blind hate
Play by play manipulated day by day

[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
The world changed

The world changed

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Stuck at the train station tired and drunk
Crowds panicking running some dude fired a gun
Instinctively ducked cut the corner fled out the exit
Cop a dollar slice of pizza while this shorty texting
Asking me when I get there no clothes policy
When I step thru the door we put an “x” all formalities
Slight cat allergy got me sneezing made me a sandwich
More whiskey getting poured as I vanished
Vagabond don’t know where to call home
24 hours awake hurting like a gall stone
Ripley Grier rehearsal time gotta a show to do in March
Gotta make it through the dark only show the truest parts
Financially it’s kind of dry seems like snakes I’m surrounded by
Getting suicidal thoughts I can fuck around and die
Scratch that naw gotta hold it together
The sun’ll come out and shine its light
No need to dumb out even though the world changed


[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
