Saigon- Belly Of the Beast (The Scram Jones Files)


The world of hip-hop has seen few reasons to rejoice in the past couple of years.....while, there were shimmering moments of glory, like the time when Jay and Nas got together onstage and did their thing...there was still far too many reasons for the hip-hop community to shake their heads; The disbanding of the Source amid a sex scandel that led to a court trial, Fabolous shot in the leg and arrested for gun possession, Busta Rhymes' continued legal woes, producer Dallas Austin being arrested on drug charges in Dubai, DJ Quik's incarceration, Lil' Kim's incarceration, Beanie Siegel being wounded in an apparent robbery, Brooklyn MC Gravy being wounded in front of Hot 97, The deaths of Big Hawk, Proof and most recently Stack Bundles, it just seems that these days hip-hop just isn't rhyming as much as it is getting into some bullshit, and for what it's gone through there's really not that much note worthy music coming out as a result, a la Pac and Biggie. Turmultuous times didn't avoid Saigon either, who was involved in an altercation that took place in January of 06' in which he was stabbed in the head over his chain. Yet Sai Giddy pushes forward, recovering and releasing new music for the droves of underground heads praising him as the new Nas, among other things....today I bring you a fine collection of Saigon's work, coupled with about four new and previously unreleased bangas, that give us all a glimpse into just how nice the kid from MooseKnuckle, NY is. Sure if you've been following Sai ever since he burst onto the scene with those Yardfather mixtapes than you already are aware of just how great a story teller and lyracist he is, not to mention you probably noticed the man has a few opinions on the society we live in. Penning such riteous and politically charged songs like "The ColorPurple" and "Shok TV" among others. In my book he's pushed his way to the top of the game as far as content goes. Now busy at work on his debut album with Just Blaze, this mixtape comes courtesy of another frequent collaborator of his; none other than Scram Jones. Every track on this is produced by Scram, and trust that is somthin special.....if you don't already know, tracks to check for are: "Desperado", "New York Streets", "Reprecussions", "Whispers" and "All I Know".
