Saigon

Rapper Considered a gifted lyricist with a penchant for making thought-provoking hip-hop music with an unapologetic street edge, Saigon bust on to the scene in the early 2000's and eventually signed with Atlantic Records. After a string of high profile industry beefs, numerous mainstream appearances on HBO's Entourage and co-signs from the likes of Just Blaze and Scram Jones, Saigon became embroiled in a falling out with his label that led to the subsequent delay of his debut album The Greatest Story Never Told. After leaving Atlantic, Saigon has since been able to release his album and set his sights on conquering the hip-hop industry.
