Scram Jones - Yes We Can ft. Rhymefest, Haffa, & Saigon
Artist: Scram Jones
Featuring: Rhymefest , Saigon , Haffa
Producer: Scram Jones
Album: Unreleased
Label: Beast Music Records
Tossing his hat into the inauguration-record ring, NYC producer Scram Jones hooks up with three talented emcees to salute the man who turned “Yes We Can” into “Damn, we did!” Over Jones’ tuneful, sampled beat, Chi-town native Rhymefest and Brooklyn up-and-comer Haffa celebrate the progress America’s made, and acknowledge the work that it will take to build a better future, while Saigon ends the record on an unreservedly optimistic note, spitting “Now that we got a black prez, we shouldn’t have no crackheads… no deadbeat dads.” These lofty predictions may not come to pass, but the passion all three emcees display here is infectious, and Scram’s sound-collage “hooks,” which juxtapose Obama soundbites with famous quotes from MLK, Jr. and Malcolm X, should stir up some national pride in even the most jaded listener.

Scram Jones is a producer to look out for this year. This track is a problem. Great audio work with the splicing (real producers know the lingo) and all three emcees did their thing. Rhymefest gets extra points because he is from the CHI!
Props to J Master! |

Scram aint a bad rapper either. He had some tracks like 5 years ago that we used to bump in college. Check out Liquid Heat - non stop punchlines. Glad hes blowing up.
He did a few tracks on one of the Mariah Carey album not too long ago. |

Its Ok, Scram Jones wasnt to bad with the production. Saigon is a rapper who i think could be big in a couple of years. Good to hear from Rhymefest, i havnt heard anything from him in a while, 'Brand New' by him & Kanye was one of my favorite songs, though i did get over it after a while. Still this song is alright.
Starting to get a little over these Obama celebration songs, though it is a big moment in history. |

It lacks that originality and the main ingredients for making a OBAMA songs. Btw how many Obama songs have been on the booth lately... it is sort of lame
