In conjunction with the celebration of Hip-Hop’s landmark 50th anniversary, legendary rapper Saigon and and Swedish multi-platinum producer Fredro have joined forces to create a love letter to Hip-Hop. Specifically, 1986-1996, a/k/a The Jordan Era. They have also tapped many other legendary voices to help join their celebration.
After announcing their new album, and releasing the project’s first single and video, “Lyrical Genius,” which featured one of Hip-Hop’s “holy trinity of emcees” in Grandmaster Caz (co-author of “Rappers Delight” and the emcee with the longest running tenure atop the billboard Hot 100 Charts), Saigon and Fredro are back to “Get Loose” with another legend; Pete Rock. “Get Loose” is now available!
With “Get Loose,” Saigon and Pete Rock show and prove that they are “the truth in the booth.” With Soul Brother #1 rhyming much less lately, Saigon took “Get Loose” as an opportunity to lobby one of his favorite producers on the mic, to get back on the mic. “I’ve always thought Pete was a dope rapper since “The Creator,” so I took the opportunity to get him to step away from behind the boards; where he is most comfortable, and “Get Loose” with me” Saigon states. “With all of the negativity in Hip-Hop, and the world, I just wanted to create something fun with Pete.”
Saigon and Fredro’s forthcoming album, The Jordan Era, is produced in its entirety by Fredro and features guest appearances from Grandmaster Caz, Pete Rock, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Grand Puba, Sadat X, Rockness Monsta, Craig G, Ill Skratch—with more features to be unveiled.
Saigon and Fredro’s The Jordan Era album will be released on 5-3-24 via the iconic Payday Records.
