Saigon - Hundred Years

Review by Dustin Wright

The album Hundred Years by Saigon is a powerful and emotional journey through the experiences of a Vietnamese-American rapper. The album features a mix of introspective tracks and socially conscious anthems, all delivered with Saigon's trademark intensity and lyrical skill.

From the opening track "Forever Dreamin'" to the closing song "The Coolest," Hundred Years is a cohesive and well-crafted album that showcases Saigon's versatility as an artist. He tackles a range of topics, from his own personal struggles with addiction and mental health to broader issues of race and inequality.

One standout track is "Bullets-19," which addresses the impact of gun violence in America and features a poignant guest verse from rapper Marsha Ambrosius. Another highlight is "Promise Ring," a heartfelt tribute to the women in Saigon's life that showcases his softer side.

Summary by Dustin Wright

Hundred Years is a must-listen for fans of socially conscious hip-hop and anyone looking for an honest and powerful musical journey. Saigon's raw and authentic storytelling makes this album a standout in his discography and a testament to his talent as an artist.
