Making a "Houston Banger" with Old Man Saxon

Old Man Saxon pulls up to the studio and we make a Houston-style banger from scratch. Chopped and screwed influence, Southern bounce, and Saxon's unmistakable flow -- all built in one session.

Who Is Old Man Saxon?

Old Man Saxon is an artist and collaborator who defies easy categorization. His flow is versatile, his writing is sharp, and his willingness to experiment makes every session unpredictable. He's one of Super Tight Woody's most frequent collaborators, with multiple tracks together including "Why Can't I?" and the full SPORTS! album -- a 7-track project that was featured in NBA 2K26.

What makes Saxon special in the studio is his range. In this session, we went full Houston -- chopped and screwed influence, 808s, Southern bounce -- but Saxon can pivot to indie, alternative, or straight lyrical hip hop just as easily. That versatility is why the collaboration keeps producing results.

What We Talk About in This Episode

This conversation covers real ground. Here's what we get into:

• Building a Houston-style beat from scratch in the studio
• Old Man Saxon's approach to flow and writing
• The influence of Houston hip hop on modern production
• How the SPORTS! album came together and landed in NBA 2K26
• Why versatility matters as an artist and producer
• The creative chemistry between Saxon and Super Tight Woody

The best sessions happen when nobody's trying to make a hit. You just make what feels right and the energy does the rest.

Why This Conversation Matters

If you want to see how a beat gets built from nothing and how an artist brings it to life in real time, this is the episode. No pre-production, no plan -- just two people in a studio cooking up something that sounds like Houston.

Saxon and Woody have an ongoing collaboration that's produced some of the strongest tracks in the catalog. Check out Why Can't I? and the full SPORTS! album (featured in NBA 2K26).
