While the anticipation of Saigon’s debut album The Greatest Story Never Told mounts, Saigon hit up Amsterdam in The Netherlands recently to spread his name and message. Amsterdams’ PP2G.TV caught up with him before the performance, and Saigon had some interesting tidbits in hand.
Saigon explained his perseverance in staying strong throughout the label problems. “You know why I never got discouraged? ‘Cause I look at all the great artists that went on to do well, and their first time around their label didn’t see their vision. When you’re innovative, and you don’t just follow what’s going on, and you try to do something new, a lot of times they don’t get it. They don’t understand it right away. They let a rock turn into sand and it slips through their fingers.”
Saigon also explained how he got connected with Just Blaze. “A mixtape deejay named Sickamore, he was a big mixtape deejay in New York. I got a call from Sickamore and he was like, ‘Would you wanna work with Just Blaze?’ I was like, ‘Do bears shit in the woods nigga? Do bears shit in the woods nigga?’ Yeah man!”

Hoping to bring New York back, Saigon let be known he’s got a mission to get rid of “sucka emcees.” “Back in the day, there was a moniker called a sucka emcee. A sucka emcee was somebody who was not suppose to be doing it. I’m trying to bring that back to the forefront. If we got rid of these sucka emcees, Hip Hop would be Hip Hop again.”
