Saigon - The Rules
Artist: Saigon
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: All in a Day's Work
Label: Suburban Noize Records/RED
In the intro to The Rules, Saigon admits with a shrug that, since he got out of prison, writing raps has been low on his priority list – there’s just too much else to do! Though this might seem like an inauspicious beginning, what follows will reassure listeners that the Brooklyn emcee’s packed schedule hasn’t affected the quality of his rhymes one bit; Saigon lays down the lyrical law here with all the agile intensity that we’ve come to expect. Tuneful background vocals and driving piano chords form the backbone of Statik Selektah‘s sampled instrumental, and a snippet from Busta Rhymes’ 1997 breakout hit, Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check serves as hook. The Rules, along with the other nine songs on the tracklist of All in a Day’s Work, represent the product of just 24 hours in the studio; in early March, fans will be able to hear for themselves whether the rest of this whirlwind recording session stands up to the single’s promise.

Saigon always brings energy and enthusiasm to his work and honestly - seriously here - I have never heard back production work from my man Statik Selektah.
Nice record, looking forward to the entire album next project...

Awesome production work... Selektah is my favorite out right now. Saigon lays it down nice, and the hook is a nice throwback... Nice joint.

WOW, I’m really EXCITED about this project!
Satik Selektah is one of the BEST PRODUCERs of hip hop today! His beats have an epic/soulful approach, an oldschool vibe and sound genuine. Saigon flows so well that even repeating a line (“buck’em down”) is hot! |

Saigon ripped this beat on some next level ish. Wow i'm actually amazed now I thought his come back would be a flop to be a honest Saigon really made me reconsider with this one. Statik production too. Overall sick track!

Production is done well. Cant wait for Saigon to drop a new cd and I think a collabo with Wu-Tang would be hot. Like the like "Prison is some serious shi%, if you aint been in it dont mention it." That is half the problem in music today people talk stuff that aint true.

This is DOPE! Saigon did his thing on this for real, and that beat from Statik Selektah is crazy. Also I have to laugh @ the Soulja Boy "You" in the background XD.
