Saigon Is Now A Violator

 

Recently rapper Saigon and producer Just Blaze have been entangled in a back and forth over comments Sai made about his label situation. On his Myspace blog, Saigon apologized and confirmed reports that he is now signed with Chris Lighty’s Violator Management.

On his relationship with Just Blaze:

First things first, I wanna put shit in its proper perspective …Just Blaze is not only my friend and my producer…But he is a GREAT example of a black man..I know alot of people hear his name and his music and assume that Blaze means he must smoke some POWERFUL shit before he goes into make a beat but your talking about a man who never smoked weed in his life…He has never drank alcohol in his life. he has extensive morals and is VERY family oriented.. If I had a child and were looking for someone to set an example of what it means to be a stand up guy, I couldnt think of anyone better than Justin Smith aka Just Blaze to do so….I know yall see the back and forth shit between us and I admit I was stupid for my part in it…But its like 2 brothers fighting in the street when they couldve went inside the house  and shot 5 in their bedroom…You will NEVER see that again so I hope you enjoyed it…I love Just Blaze to death and I will bleed or make someone else bleed for that dude…Not because he makes good beats or he produced my album, but because he has a big heart…Im cool with his Mom, Brother and Auntie (who is super cool)…. And since I was dumb enough to engage in this online public fued..Im man enough to use the same forum to apologize to him for not just calling him and expressing whatever I felt was wrong..If you read this my Nigga, I apologize..Real spit…U my nigga..

On signing with Violator Management:

I remember when I first came out of prison my friend Che Johnson brought me to meet Chris Lighty and I was in awe just to be meeting someone so powerful in the music business..(plus Im a huge Jungle Brothers and Tribe Called Quest fan so I was extra hype)….I dont even know if he remembers this but he was telling me how his client N.O.R.E lived right down the street from him or something to that effect…I was so intrigued by all the platinum plaques on the walls I was only half paying attention, mind you I was about 2 weeks out from doing a very loooooooooooong time in prison…My point is, I never in my life thought this guy would be managing my career one day….Yes its officially official..I am now managed by Violator and the stakes are higher than ever…Its a problem, TRUST…..God works in mysterious ways but he works..hahahaha..Im very proud to be a part of such a prestigous comany who has put in so much work in the business…Not only has Violator stood the test of time, they also are innovating the wave of the future….
