Just when we were beginning to think Saigon‘s long-awaited The Greatest Story Never Told would live up to its name, a fortuitous turn of events took place.  Soon after squashing his ridiculous beef with Joe Budden, the Brooklyn native signed a multi-album distribution deal with Amalgam Digital (not to be confused with “label deal,” since Sai considers himself to be nobody’s artist).  As part of that agreement, Sai hit the studio with Booth-acclaimed DJ/producer Statik Selektah to record an “album-before-the-album” in the span of 24 hours; the result is the aptly-named All In A Day’s Work (available now).  Addressing an industry that can be So Cold, Saigon shows the world what a true MC sounds like.  Saigon’s nonstop flow, along with Statik’s underground-banger beat, proves that nobody can water the duo down into a Ho Chi Minh City.  Make sure to purchase All In A Day’s Work from your favorite online retailer, and check back with the Booth next week for Saigon’s exclusive interview with DJ Z.

So Saigon hopped in the studio and dished out an album with Statik Selektah in a mere 24 hours, and "The Greatest Story Never Told" is STILL not released? Please. Sai has so much potential, I'll be looking out for this release tomorrow. Anyone want to see Saigon record an album with Just Blaze in a day?

Sai said it right, "ya gotta be a real MC to spit on these beats." Real talk, Selektah is the man! This is a lil different from what I've heard from a Statik beat, a lil more "street," but that aint a bad thing. Not the best outta either of these dudes, but they did a whole album in a day? Props for that, and considering that this track is real nice.

Saigon has a ton of talent. I don't think that this is his best song, but it isn't bad. Only in rotation for me. Is he still gonna release "The Greatest Story Never Told" after this album? I'm a little confused as to what is goin on right now. Haha

And people thought Sai and Blaze worked well together... Sai and Statik musically bonded quite well on this album. "So Cruel" exemplifies exactly what their collaborative efforts are all about. A nice compliment to one another. He makes you want to listen to his next line, but not forget the beat.

Saigon's been on my radar for a while, the lad has got a great deal of ability with the mic & as soon as he gets a good beat he kills it. This is definatley a banger, though i have heard better from Saigon.

I did like the beat by Statik, though i still prefer Saigon working over a Blaze beat more.

I kinda like the flava of the beat. I know Saigon has some heat in his arsenal cause I've heard it, but this is forgettable. This may be alil dated or something... I can't put my finger on it, but it's lacking something.

i always liked saigon, but he lost alot of my respect once he took shots at budden, but still i wont deny saigon is a good artist, he got a sick flow, some lyrics were very under par compared to the rest, but he still makes it happen, nice production, overall a 3.5

The production on this is different for Saigon, but I like it a lot. Brought a lot more energy to the track.

I'm getting a little old school Mase vibe with this one....

This isn't my cup of tea, I wouldn't put it in my mp3 player. But I think it's a solid song, good production and great flow! I preferred Transatlantic Slave Deal, though

PattyPatty85 how can you rate a song low because its "not your type of song". As a song it is quality. Just because its not your "style" doesn't detract from it being a good song.
