[Audio] Saigon - The Rules





After getting a suprising video announcement of a collabaration album between Saigon & Statik Selektah titled All In A Day's Work, we are blessed with the first single off the project. The album which was recorded in 24 hours should see the light of day soon, unlike Sai's unreleased debut album.

[Video] Saigon & Statik Seletak Complete Album In 24 Hours




This comes out of left field, but the homie Saigon & Statik Selektah have finished an album in 24 hours. The album is titled All In A Day's Work and should be released to the public soon. I'm looking forward to hearing what these two cooked up but also would like to hear Termanology & Statik's 1982 album as well.

[Audio] Saigon - Breathe Thru The Years [Extended]





Here goes another track off J. Cardim's new compilation album, Your Favorite Rapper's Favorite Producer, in stores now. I hit you with the remix to French Montana's "Straight Cash," a coloboration joint "Don't Play With My Dough" featuring Red Cafe, Wale & MIMS and now this one. A classic Saigon joint "Breathe Thru The Years," which was originally released in 2005, but now features an extended third verse and better quality; production by J. Cardim of course. Be sure to pick up a copy of J. Cardim's new album, and be on the lookout for Saigon's new mixtape, Warning Shots Pt. 2 coming in April.

[Audio] Saigon on Streetsweeper Radio




Here is some audio of Saigon on DJ Kay Slay's Streetsweeper Radio discussing his long delayed album, the indie/major label situation & his beef with Joe Budden. Sai' & Joe will continue to take shots at each other until they finish the battle or take it to the boxing ring. If you didn't see this recent interview Joe did with HipHopGame, he announces the beef is dead, but still manages to take a couple jabs at Sai'.

[News] Saigon Denies Phone Call w/ Joe Budden




As reported yesterday by various blogs/websites, producer & close friend to Saigon, Just Blaze sent out a message through twitter that stated Saigon & Joe Budden had spoken on the phone. This message had the internet buzzin' last night and had everyone believing that the battle between the two had been squashed. But that does not appear to be the case as XXLmag caught up with Saigon today to get the info first hand. Here is what Saigon had to say...

When asked to confirm whether or not he got on the phone with Budden, Sai denied everything that Just Blaze wrote on his twitter account last night. “Nah that’s what Just Blaze wants to happen in his heart,” he said. “I don’t know where he got that information from but that’s totally bullshit.“

In fact Sai thinks Blaze said that to cool things down. “I don’t know where that came from,” he explained. “For a while you know Just been trying to squash that shit cause he understands what it can turn in to. He just doesn’t wanna see it go past –you know just being around me and a lot of my people – and he doesn’t wanna see it go anywhere other than wax. And he knows that’s very, very, very likely gonna happen.”

Budden will be performing tonight at S.O.B.’s as a part of the newly formed supergroup Slaughterhouse. While Sai is cool with the rest of the crew, which consists of Joell Ortiz, Royce da 5’9” and Crooked I, he says he will not be going to the show. “There’s really no need to be there, “ he said. “I would love to see the show as a hip-hop fan – they all talented people - I wanna see what they can come up with, but with that other shit that’s not gonna happen.”

Sai announced on his last diss track “Pushin Buddens,” which was released earlier this week, that he’s done with adding fuel to the fire, but admitted to XXL that he will keep on putting out records if he has to. “To tell you the truth I don’t want to but you know know that shit is getting fun, ’cause I don’t really battle but it’s fun now – now i’ll come back 10 times stronger than I came,” he said about putting out another track. “So if his shit ain’t 10 times stronger that that ‘Pain in his Life‘ – which I know he can’t make a better record than that – if he can make a better record that than shit, he’s good, then I gotta step my shit up and do it again.”


So it looks like the battle will continue between the two MC's until one of them decides to call it quits. XXLmag also reported that Saigon's forthcoming mixtape, Warning Shots Pt. 2, is slated for an April release, with production from Just Blaze, Scram Jones, Buckwild & himself. I was thinking it would drop sooner then that but apparently not.

[Audio] Scram Jones - Yes We Can (ft. Haffa, Rhymefest & Saigon)





Here goes a new track titled, "Yes We Can," produced by Scram Jones featuring his artist Haffa along with Rhymefest & Saigon. This is the first joint off Scram Jones' upcoming Dedication to Obama album. Yesterday, I posted footage from the video shoot for this song and the official video was supposed to drop but never did. I'll post it up as soon as it does, in the mean time enjoy the Mp3 courtesy of Young from OnSmash.



[Audio] Saigon - Pushin' Buddens (Joe Budden Diss)




Saigon is gonna earn the respect of some Budden fans with this one. He comes back real hard on this track, and definitely evens this battle up. He starts off with an old school beat, then goes into a "Letter J" verse, and finishes it off on Budden's "Pump It Up" beat. Sai' continues to claim that this will be his last diss record, but we'll just have to wait and see. In my opinion they should end this beef with a boxing match, that would be some classic footage.

[Audio] Saigon - No Problemz




Saigon takes a break from all this beefing to drop a new joint off his forthcoming mixtape, Warning Shots Pt. 2. This joint entitled, "No Problemz" is produced by Tommy Tee. As you can see in the post below Budden's dropped his second diss track yesterday, so expect a response from Saigon real soon.

[Audio] Joe Budden - Pain In His Life (Saigon Diss #2)




I knew he would be quick with his response, but damn within a day Joey gets round two poppin. This time he goes in for 5 minutes and shows Saigon what a diss track is all about. Taking direct shots at him without having to get his family involved. Saigon recently stated that he wasn't gonna go back and forth with Joe, but quickly recanted that statement with this one. So stay tuned for Saigon's response, even though he already took the L in this battle. Padded Room drops Feb. 24th.

[Audio] Saigon - Under-Achiever (Joe Budden Response)





On a slow ass Saturday the homie Sai-gitty decided to drop his response to Joe Budden. I personally think he could have come harder, but give it a listen and decide for yourself. The track tag says it features Prodigy but he doesn't rap, Sai' just added his comments toward Buddens at the end of the track. You can expect a response from Joey real soon, this beef is goin' multiple rounds guaranteed. Warning Shots Pt. 2 is on the way. Update: He also had this to say about Joey on his Myspace.

[Video] Loud Interview w/ Saigon




John from Loud.com caught up with Saigon aka The Yard Father on the set of Scram Jones' new video for "Yes We Can" (a tribute to Obama). He discusses his upcoming projects, his thoughts on the new wave of rappers & the recent diss track by Joe Budden. You can most definitely expect a diss track from Sai' in the near future, also be on the lookout for his upcoming mixtape, Warning Shots Pt. 2. Below is the first leaked joint off the tape, produced by Scram Jones.

[Audio] Joe Budden - Letter To Saigon




Joey's never been scared to go at anyone, and with Saigon's recent comments toward Budden it was only a matter of time. In recent interviews they have both said there is no beef between the two but you could sense the hostility growing. If you don't remember this beef started over a line from Joey's song "Roll Call" in which he said, "As soon as my wife gone, they jump on the python, they don't know I'm out to hit and run like Saigon." Now Joey as stated that this line was not attended as a diss towards Saigon, but Sai' obviously took it the wrong way. Anyway, check out Budden going in on Saigon, and expect a response real soon.

[Audio] Saigon - Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (Prod. by Scram Jones)



Apart from a couple beefs with rappers Joe Budden & Prodigy; Saigon was relatively quiet in 2008. To quick start the new year he was seen on video ranting about his money, cars and muscles, which definitely had me thinking he had lost his composure a bit. But a more recent blog entry from Sai' stating that 2009 would be a big year for himself had me thinking otherwise. Here is what he had to say...

"Happy New Years Ya'll.. Its ya boy Saigon the Yardfather. Im back better and stronger than ever. I greatly apologize for the lack of information Ive been giving all the people who's been keeping up with me... I promise to ya'll this will be my hardest working year ever.. I will be more active as far as the music I put out, interviews, acting, televison shows etc.. Can you believe I only put out 3 songs in the whole year of 08? I pretty much took 08 off to get my personal life in order... Now Im back and better than ever.. Yes Im still with Just Blaze and Ft. Knocks is still going very very strong....

Congratulations 2 Just Blaze for holding down the number 1 spot with his record 'Live Your Life' feat T.I. and Rihanna... It was amazing watching that song come to life. And YES, my album WILL be released.... someday. Dont worry yall its timeless music so it has and will continue to stand the test of time... BUT, to show yall Im not playing... I give yall my first release of the New Year..... Warning Shots 2... I dont know how many of you copped the first Warning Shots but this is the sequel and the music is much hotter... If you dont remember Warning Shots, that was where songs like, Favorite Things, Come Again, Stocking Cap and a bunch of my other street classics come from..... Now we have the sequel.. All BRAND NEW music produced by Just Blaze, Scram Jones, Buckwild and Myself.. If you ever liked Saigon, Youre gonna love him now.. I promise..... Warning Shots 2 will deliver like never before.... Saigon is back.

Oh as for the people who sent songs for Collaborations.. The ones that worked out... Youre welcome.. I gave you all waaaay more than what your little money gave me.. I DONT do this shit for money.. I love to see young new talent shine... For the people who's songs and money I turned down.. I told you if youre wack youre money will get you no where and now you know Im a man of my word.... Please Im killing 16's this year... I have a point to prove...

NEW NUMBER FOR COLLABORATIONS 646 522 7210
If YOURE WACK KEEP YOUR MONEY.... I only associate with heat............

Warning Shots 2 on the way.......... Im gonna single handedly reinvent Hip Hop.... WATCH"

So it looks like Saigon wont continue his bear-like hibernation this year. The new mixtape, Warning Shots Pt. 2, should be released fairly soon since the first joint leaked today. As for his debut album, The Greatest Story Ever Told, only Saigon can tell you when that will be released, my guess is never. I'll definitely be posting the new mixtape when it drops, but until then enjoy the first cut off the tape produced by Scram Jones.

[Audio] Saigon ft. Lil' Fame - WW4 (Prod. by Oddisee)


This is the type of joint I love to wake up to...
I'm gonna sit back and enjoy this banger and
let Peter Rosenberg explain the track for y'all...

"A week from tomorrow, I am dropping “A Rosenberg Oddisee”, six song EP recorded in one day and produced entirely by my man Oddisee. This is the first record I wanted people to hear. Saigon absolutely murders this track and Lil Fame showing up was completely random. It was truly hip hop magic and don’t you worry–it was all captured on video (more on that later). The EP features tracks from Buckshot, Skyzoo, Nikki Jean, and more. It is honestly one of the best hip hop EPs I’ve ever heard. I know I’m talking mad sh*t, but I absolutely LOVE this record. And those of you unfamiliar with Oddisee–GET FAMILIAR!"
