Saigon grew up in New York, and had a quite turbulent childhood that eventually led to his violent behavior and spending some time in jail for first-degree assault after shooting at someone in a bar in the early ‘90s. While in prison, Saigon met fellow inmate Hakim who taught him rapping, and supplemented his vocabulary. The rap battles helped Saigon to express himself, and look for redemption through the music. He took the name “Saigon” while serving time, after reading Wallace Terry’s book about the Vietnam War. Saigon was released in 2000 and soon after he started making mixtapes, with the goal of securing a professional deal with a record company.
In 2003, Saigon released his debut mixtape entitled “Da Yard Father 1”, and soon after he recorded the sequel “Da Yard Father 2”. He signed a contract with Atlantic Records in 2004, but demanded to be released after only a year because of the record company stalling the release of his debut studio album. Saigon recorded seven more mixtapes before he signed a contract with the independent label called Amalgam Digital in 2007, which launched two of his mixtapes: “The Moral of the Story” (2007) and “All In A Day’s Work” (2009). Finally, in 2011 Saigon’s debut album “The Greatest Story Never Told” came out under the Suburban Noize Records label. The album was produced by Just Blaze and had notable guest contributions from fellow rap artists such as Q-Tip, Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz, Faith Evans, Devin the Dude, Layzie Bone, and Bun B. It reached No.7 on the US Billboard Rap Albums, No. 9 on US Billboard Independent Albums, No. 15 on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and No. 61 on US Billboard 200, and its sales significantly increased his net worth.
In 2012, Saigon’s second studio album “The Greatest Story Never Told Chapter 2: Bread and Circuses” was released, and it peaked at the No. 19 on US Billboard Rap Albums, No. 25 on US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and No. 151 on US Billboard 200. Most recently, he recorded another album “G.S.N.T. 3: The Troubled Times of Brian Carenard” in 2014, but it failed to achieve commercial success.
Aside from music, from 2005 to 2006 Saigon appeared in four episodes of “Entourage”, while in 2015 he also played in the movie of the same name.
Regarding his personal life, Saigon has a daughter named Rayne Dior Carenard, born in 2008, and also has a son with Erica Jean. In January 2006, Saigon was stabbed in the temple outside a diner in Manhattan, when a man tried to steal his chain from his neck, and fight ensued. In September 2007, Saigon and Prodigy of Mobb Deep had an altercation in a local club, but the feud is over now.

Christopher says it was inspired by South coast hip hop – a sub genre of American hip hop music which was locally popular at Shreveport, where Hurricane grew-up. Soon after releasing his debut album, the young rapper released his third single called “Playas Rock” which was produced by Mr. Collipark. The single peaked at number 47 on the Hot R&B chart and number 25 on Hot Rap Tracks. Two years later, in 2009, the rapper released his second album “Unleashed” in the same Southern hip hop style. “Unleashed” peaked at number 46 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 20 on US Top Rap Albums. For the young artist this was a definite success, but this album failed to produce any hits. However, two singles were released from this album – “Headboard” and “Halle Berry (She’s Fine)”. The “Headboard” single featured the voice of famous American rapper and the founder of label “Big Gates Records” Plies and Mario’s voice.
After his second album Hurricane Chris’ career slowed considerably. “Uneashed” didin’t become as popular as Christopher expected, and he started to work on his third studio album entitled “Showtime: Still 51/50” which should be released on the rapper’s own label “51/50 Entertainment” with “FyreHouse Entertainment”. Because of that Chris tried to work with many different producers like the famous American record producer, rapper and songwriter Shawty Redd, also with DJ Spinz, Phunk Dawg, 1500 or Nothin, Mr. Bangladesh, Seven and others. During the interview with hip hop news website AllHipHop.com on May 25, 2010 Chris mentioned he had changed his third album’s title to “Return of the Hurricane”. On January 2 2013 Christopher started to work on his third album’s promotion. A new mixtape called “Caniac” was released and featured the song “Bend It Over”. Also “Caniac has songs “Go Crazy”, “I Don’t F*ck With Yall”, “Pu**y on Me”, “Down South” and “Ball Hard”. The songs were accompanied by music videos.
In 2014 Christopher Hurricane has released one more single, “Ratchet” which was produced by American DJ and record producer Dijon McFarlane, also known as DJ Mustard. “Ratchet” has become the 6th rapper’s single.
