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]
Game in a cobra clutch, caking like I’m a Boba Fett
Limping like I broke a leg I went forward with no regrets
Amerigo and Po we next culture and the soul in it
More and less they coalesce bout to patent the formula
Propaganda blowing up misdirecting and owning us
Some YouTubers is phony spreading info that’s erroneous
They killed Pac, Pop Smoke, Nipsey and Notorious
Dangerous to be rapper from a long line of warriors
I’m in a Golden State of mind visions of Akhenaton
Pharaohgamo Demi God, sledge hammer a demagogue
Cross my heart and hope to die been through shit I swear to god
Would've killed a weaker mind but I fought it like Megatron
Face all up the Jumbotron I played and got my hustle on
Drop a couple bombs hang it up and put a couple on
Spazzing on a bad day classics like Donny Hathaway
Grinding and gave the math away crush the planet with Gazaway hey yo

[Napoleon Da Legend hook x2]
We put the word out now everybody’s here
Made something out nothing money dropping out the air
Came out my mama womb no one told me it would be fair
I kill what I eat like good meat I’m very rare

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]
Soul of a Jacobin bring pain like sado-masochist
Front like I’m a pacifist turn around and slap a kid
These cats on some rapper shit I just like the craft of this
Otherwise I rather live away from glitz and cameras
You can keep glamorous the gossip and the scandalous
I just ran the gamut took risks always a gambler
Provide and kept fridge full dollar by the fistful
Drip smooth swift moves would lie so we can miss school
Arguments and fist fights friend’s apartment lit nights
Out of town trips booking the girls that’s looking thick right?
Got it out my system now I’m on to bigger dreams
Had to dead my old self blew it to smithereens
New me new wave contracts movies
Triplex Jacuzzi yakuza style uzis
Tarantino’s visuals smoking cigars as a ritual
Karma stay karma love is love keep it reciprocal

[Napoleon Da Legend hook x2]
We put the word out now everybody’s here
Made something out nothing money dropping out the air
Came out my mama womb no one told me it would be fair
I kill what I eat like good meat I’m very rare
