If you know me you know I've been down with Sai for the better of 5-6 years. He's got his head on straight, and maybe most cats aren't but I'm still pulling for an LP to drop some time this decade.
in 2006, french-vietnamese dj-producer onra returned to the homeland of his grandparents in saigon, and returned not only with a bit of heritage, but also a crateful of old chinese and vietnamese vinyl records. the cuts from these findings formed the album he called chinoiseries, a delightful deconstruction of the oriental sounds from the perspective of a dj formerly disconnected from his past, but now piecing it together through his own hybridized worldview. the album was released at the start of the year, but i'd only stumbled upon it last week; since then, though, it's been gaining much [...]
I don't exactly know if this track has been mentioned, overlooked, forgotten or what. All I know is that this is some Friday, get ready for whatever, "your yesterday was worse so put it in reverse" and have a good today music. Nobody drops the ball on this Jones produced banger. Saigon, Scram Jones, Nino Bless & Crooked I - Third Degree Anyways, I screwed up the Loosies last night & included the wrong link. For those of you who grabbed'em, here's a do over with the proper [...]

I'm a little late on this but Saigon 's 'What A Life' beat, and rhymes for that matter, are too dope of a 90's throwback to not post this. I'd love a Pac verse over this. I haven't said that in a decade.
Hey is that R.A. The Rugged Man & Saigon? Damn my fucking beard is gorgeous. [See post to listen to audio] DOWNLOAD: Saigon feat. Lil' Fame & Oddisee - WW4 Related posts: Audio: 2 Degrees Of Dilla Audio: File Under T Audio #7
The first single for A Rosenberg Oddisee . 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 [...]

Thanks to GiantStep I just got turned on to European producer Sepalot who recently released an album on Compost Records Red Handed. Haven't heard the whole thing yet, but this track "Did It Again" definitely perked my ears up. It's hip-hop, but not as we know it. As one might expect from the combination of a European hip-hop producer with an eclectic label such as Compost, Sepalot throws a unique twist on things and brings a bangin' electro-funk-hop beat over which Saigon unfortunately only does a so-so job. But anyway, check out the track for yourself: [...]

The beat behind Saigon's newest featuring Red 5ive, coming from none other than Just Blaze, is eerily catchy. I wasn't into the vocal or the hook for that matter, but the beat works. Surprised? Not I. Saigon ft Red 5ive - Believe (Instrumental) [prod by Just Blaze]
Saigon ft. Red 5ive "Believe It" [ clean \ dirty ]: Just Blaze let it be known earlier today that both he and Sai Giddy have been quietly working on getting Sai off of Atlantic. He's since been 100% released , and retained their masters, and while that sounds like an amazing feat, given the business that gets done in the music industry today, it doesn't sound like Atlantic was trying to release a Saigon album anytime soon. Sounds like a clean break to me. 2008 Hip-Hop success [...]
