			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The producer and rapper have just been released by Atlantic records<br /><span id="more-358"></span>
<p><a href="http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003806188" target="_blank"><u><strong>Billboard is reporting</strong></u></a>  that the rapper was waiting on the anticipation of leaving to release his music.</p>
<p><em><strong>Saigon says he&#39;s in talks with several major labels as well as a non-traditional music company for his next artist deal. His latest single, &quot;Believe It,&quot; was released today (May 21) via TheMegatrondon2.com. Saigon says he has seven viral videos ready to release but was waiting until his contract was resolved.</strong></em> </p>
<p><em><strong>&quot;I&#39;m not that excited about going to a major label,&quot; Saigon says. &quot;They would have to make it so I&#39;m set for the rest of my life. They want too much for the little that they&#39;re giving.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;It&#39;s not like I didn&#39;t want to put out music,&quot; he continues. &quot;But Atlantic wanted me to do ringtone songs but they didn&#39;t sign me as a ringtone artist.&quot;</p>
<p></strong></em>   <!--startclickprintexclude--> </p>
<p> <!--endclickprintexclude--><em><strong>Saigon adds that he was left &quot;without much support&quot; when the A&amp;R rep who signed him, Kyambo &quot;Hip-Hop&quot; Joshua, left to join Columbia three months afterward.</p>
<p>&quot;They gave me $18,000 to shoot the video for &#39;Pain In My Life&#39; and I&#39;m seeing Plies get $100,000 and Lupe [Fiasco] get $150,000,&quot; he says. &quot;What the f*ck? Those artists are friends of mine, but now I&#39;m happier than I&#39;ve been in a minute.&quot;</strong></em> 
<p>While Just Blaze tells the people via <a href="http://themegatrondon2.com/2008/05/21/sweet-freedom/" target="_blank"><u><strong>his blog</strong></u></a>  about the recent departure:</p>
<p align="center"><strong>We have been quietly working to get released from Atlantic.</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>Sometimes you need to do things without talking about them. And get what you want. </strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>We finally got that&hellip;</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>With 100% ownership of the masters.</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong> (Most folks who claim they own their masters when they get released may have them (or copies of them) in their possesion, but they don&rsquo;t own them, so they can mixtape stuff all day, but can&rsquo;t go on and ever offically release them&hellip; we are free to take them wherever we like, however we like )</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>((Most folks that get a release granted don&rsquo;t even get their masters period and whatever label they DO end up on will have to buy them from the previous label, plus all types of overrides and fees))</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>Thank you Atlantic for recognizing the situation for what it really was and doing the right thing.</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>There are already new situation(s) in the works.</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>More to come.</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>(I&rsquo;m not going Strictly Business- style on this one right now. I have too much going on in Real Life County)</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>Oh yeah I didn&rsquo;t forget my promise.</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>I&rsquo;m just 4 or 5 weeks late on it.</strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>Had to work out the release first. </strong></p>
<div align="center"> </div>
<p align="center"><strong>Here you go.</strong></p>
