Day 168: Happy Father's Day - Saigon x Fatherhood (Music Video)

Saigon - Fatherhood ft. Lokz

"And it might sound cliche, but I'm lovin you much more each day; 
Even though me & your mother don't click, if it benefit you then I do whatever she say;
that's Fatherhood."
- Saigon

Saigon is very inspiring with his lyrics in this song and in so many others, which is why I'm a big fan of his underground music. Yea he comes out with the raw stuff from time to time but overall he makes such good quality songs that's meant to uplift and motivate people. If you like chill beats + deep lyrics then you'll like Saigon.

The beats he raps over in a majority of his songs are ridiculously dope, which is another reason why I can vibe so well with his music. One of my all-time favorite Saigon albums is with Statik Selektah called All In A Day's Work. Check it out.

To all them hardworking dads out there, Happy Father's Day.

Day 63: Saigon is back with some real raps (New Music Video)

Saigon - Strength


Saigon is back again with that fire on a new track called "Strength." The beat is off the hook with the help of Just Blaze and he spits that realness with his rhymes that nobody can mimic. Hip-Hop at it's finest.

This song will be featured on Saigon's upcoming album called "The Greatest Story Never Told" set to be released on 2/15/11. Looking forward to this too!

Day 55: Saigon meets Mario & "Gets Busy" (Video)

Saigon is amongst one of my favorite underground rappers who has the craziest wordplay with his flows and always spits that RAW raps (just like Royce da 5' 9"). Some of his songs are RAW as in.. well it's too explicit for me to explain, but he has some songs that are RAW as in music you can take away a good message from. That's why I like a lot of underground hip-hop (with everything else I listen to) because it has that real flavor from the vocals right down to the beat, lyrically has more substance in which people can level with, and it's the type of music you can just nod your head & get down to.

Anyways, here's a fun song with a Mario-themed beat from Saigon who comes up with a Mario rap suitable for everyone. He can rap about just anything and make it sound cool, so here you go:

Saigon - Get Busy

This song reminds me of this classic by an old underground artist named "Benefit" who raps over a similar Mario beat:

Benefit - Warp to World 6-9 (The Mario Rap)

I can still remember the day I got my first Nintendo & played Mario for days. Good ol' days of being a kid!
