“Bandersnatch is excited to bring Saigon, a rising talent in the hip-hop community, to the SU campus,” says Bandersnatch Music Series President Andrew Friedman. “Students probably know him best from his appearances on the HBO series ‘Entourage,’ but they will be impressed with his amazing range of skills brought live onstage.”
Through unofficial singles and mix-tapes, the Brooklyn native rose within the hip-hop world ranks with his raw lyrics and driven song messages. With songs such as “Shock TV,” Saigon accumulated a sizable fan base and created a buzz within the hip-hop industry. In 2005, Saigon signed to Atlantic Records. He also sustained a recurring role on Season 2 of HBO’s critically acclaimed show “Entourage” and was featured on the series soundtrack with his hit song “Don’t Do That.”
