Video: Aye Aye Aye – Saigon

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Here is the second of a series of videos that I recently shot with Saigon. Each video that we have done have very different looks and this is by far the flashiest. Sai even busted out his grill for this one, along with some dance moves that I had no idea he even had. So if you ever wanted to see Saigon dance, here is your chance…enjoy! Shout out to the masked drummer aka my Dad, The Mess Hall, Scram Jones, Buckwild, Andy “Uno” Vaval, and of course Three/21! – Derek Pike

What You’re Looking For (Ft. Saigon) – Amen

Courtesy of PHIMB

Today we get our first look at Amen’s upcoming free release, Queens Boulevard, and yes, that is a reference to the HBO series, Entourage. And who else could possibly fit better on a feature for the first single than Saigon, the rapper that gained much of his hype through the show. It’s always nice to get some new Saigon, but what’s even better, is that we get a real taste of what Amen is capable of, showcasing his ability to spit a boat load of bars with a high level of intensity. Check out the exclusive track and be sure to come back next week, September 30th, to catch the entire album for free!

Being the admitted Entourage stan that I am, this project should be really fresh! I hate the fact that I gotta wait a whole week for 30 minutes of a new episode though…

Eyeball (Prod. Just Blaze) – Saigon

If this sounds familiar to you, that’s because it was actually featured on Saigon’s mixtape, Moral of the Story some time back under the name of Saigon Meets Just Blaze. It’s being re-released with a new hook for Sai-giddy’s LP, The Greatest Story Never Told. No disrespect, but It’s been Never Told for a mad minute, I think it’s about time we hear it…

The newest leak off of Statik Selektah’s upcoming album, 100 Proof (The Hangover) featuring, Fizzy Womack, Saigiddy and Sean PUHHH! So far every Statik album has been a hit in my books, and with the sound of this it seems like he’s going 3 for 3.

Kiss Me Thru The Phone (Remix) (Ft. Saigon) – Mike Posner

I’m kind of disappointed that more people aren’t entering Mike’s contest to be on the official version. Izza Kizza killed his verse last time around and this time we have Saigon (kind of left, but dope) doing his thing over Mike Posner’s rendition of Soulja Boy’s terrible song. I really fuck with Mike’s version though.

Video: Behind The Scenes of Saigon x Rik Cordero – Change Gon Come

Vodpod videos no longer available.

Yesterday, Three/21 teamed up with Saigon and The Kickdrums for the track Change Gon Come off the Inside A Change mixtape launching this June. The concept for this video was a fictional interpretation of Saigon’s life through the character of Chris from Inside A Change. Shout out to Ephraim Benton and the Tompkins community for showing us love.

I actually can’t wait for this video and Rik’s film to come out, dude is really talented and for those of you who think all that Rik’s done is give hip hop videos a low budget look, you’ve completely missed the point. Dude has brought the grittiness back into the visuals of hip hop. Personally, I think the style he uses is second to none. Oh, and is anyone else pumped for the soundtrack to the film? Shiiiiiit.

Video: Saigon & Statik Selektah Announce ANOTHER Album x Saigon Freestyle w/ Tony Touch
