Brooklyn, New York emcee Saigon lastly releasing his sixth studio LP fully produced by Buckwild beneath It Goes Up Entertainment distributed by music“>Strange music & Virgin music. Breaking out within the early 2000s off his debut mixtape Da Yardfather, it wouldn’t be till 2011 when he would make his full-length debut by dropping The Greatest Story Never Told beneath Suburban Noize Records. The album would spawn a sequel to meet his contract with the Spade the next yr & then a ultimate installment on his personal imprint Squid Ink Squad Records in 2014. He returned from a 6 yr hiatus in 2020 by signing to It Goes Up/Strange & dropping the STREETRUNNER-produced EP 777: The Resurrection & fulfilling that deal on Pain, Peace & Prosperity the subsequent spring. Following a fast journey again to The Jordan Era beneath Payday Records final spring, Da Yardfather’s linking up with Buckwild to Paint the World Black beneath It Goes Up Entertainment alongside Strange music & Virgin music.
“Yardfather Talk” after the “Over the Break” intro opens up with some horns & a guitar speaking about his music being too analytic for critics whereas “Write Back (Hear Me Now)” after the “Dear God” skit working in some sampling to appearing the very same issues he did final time. “Well Wishes” fuses gospel & increase bap speaking about wanting nothing however one of the best for individuals who turned on him main into the “Meet Raymond Riches (Fame & Riches)” skit.
We get a soul pattern chopped up on “Whose 4 da Young?” offering phrases of knowledge to the youth & Saigon doing this music shit for them previous to the passionate “My Child” pleading God for him to let his child develop up on the earth because of the state it’s been at these previous 8 months. “No Witness” that includes Benny the Butcher hooks up a dope flute pattern all through speaking about being O.G.s on the lowkey whereas “2000Now (Crowd Go Wild) beginning the 2nd half by displaying us how he likes hip hop to sound.
“Toxic Love Story” blends pop rap & R&B collectively for a have a look at a relationship the place he & his lady are continuously arguing with one another over & over once more however after the “187.4 FM DJ Titty Toucher” intermission, “Bare Necessities” talks about his altruism contrasting the greed that these so referred to as “ballin’” artists are so overcome by & “Dying Never Goes Outta Style” tells the story of a kid working wild.
After the “Let’s Talk About Love” skit, “Any Love” winds down the previous couple of minutes of Paint the World Black observing a complete lotta jealousy as of late asking if there’s any love left within the hearts of the inhabitants & the nearer is a sequel to “Yardfather Talk” speaking about alternative knocking at his door. Only for it to be Raymond Riches, who launched himself throughout a skit halfway via.
The Jordan Era was an enormous enchancment over Pain, Peace & Prosperity as a love letter to the mid 80s/late 90s besides Paint the World Black raises the stakes precisely how I assumed he would as a result of it strikes 777: The Resurrection behind itself for the correct of turning into Saigon’s finest undertaking of the three he has put out since signing to the It Goes Up Entertainment subsidiary of Strange music. From the lyricism to the manufacturing, he & Buckwild are merely doing what they felt was regular to them & pulling it off excellently.
Score: 9/10
