Napoleon Da Legend (NDL), the emcee with the metal helmet, is one of a kind in the Hip Hop scene becoming a symbol of resistance in this dystopian present. 

In the span of about 20 years, the cosmopolitan & bilingual emcee built a solid reputation on both sides of the ocean multiplying albums & collaborations with international artists such as Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan), Capleton, Sean Price & Smif-N-Wessun (Boot Camp Clik), Akhenaton (IAM), Vinnie Paz, Wax Tailor, D-Styles (Beat Junkies), RA the Rugged Man and Amerigo Gazaway.

Born in Paris (France) originally from the Comoros Islands, he grew up in Washington, D.C. before moving to Brooklyn, NY to spread his music. Renowned Hip-Hop journalist Sunez describes Napoleon Da Legend as an absolute essential MC in the modern Hip-Hop landscape coining his unique style as "Poetic Diaries".
