Video: Dyme Def f. Saigon, “Pick Up Ya Flow”
- story THE FADER
We pretty much assumed that Saigon had been spending the last year or so building a fort out of rare Transformers toys from Just Blaze’s personal collection, but apparently he’s also been recording raps and hanging out in Seattle with Dyme Def. We’re not sure how a Saigon album would fare in 2009, but this track is as good a direction as any to go in.
On The Street: Saigon

Our On The Street correspondent Jemma Desai has been snapping up some stylish looks as she travels across Asia. She just sent us this image of a young Vietnamese hipster wearing white plimsolls with leather shoe laces. Here’s what she had to say about his look:
“I’ve always had a guilty pleasure for the classic Burberry check, but where I come from, oversized Burberry bags are strictly for Essex housewives and WAGs (Ed. trashy soccer player’s wives). However, the streets of Saigon certainly know how to rework a lost look, as this guy proved while hanging out at the Saigon hipster hangout, Q Bar.”

It’s impossible to sustain excitement for Saigon’s album at this point but if it actually comes out in a month and is at least half-filled with songs as good as “Come On Baby” then we will ramp up the Saigiddy giddiness. Until then, here’s the cheap-but-effective video and the remix on which Jay-Z kills pretty much the entirety of American Gangster.
