About the album
SPORTS! is 7 tracks of competitive fire disguised as an album. Every song sounds like it belongs in a highlight reel, a locker room before the big game, or the moment the underdog pulls ahead — but listen closer and it's all about life off the field. Hustling, grinding, proving doubters wrong, staying cool under pressure.
Old Man Saxon brings the bars — a Denver-born, LA-sharpened MC who went from living in his car to Netflix's Rhythm + Flow with Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and T.I. He was the crowd favorite. Produced by Super Tight Woody and MixMason — a project born from pure creative chemistry.
Featured Placement
"Stay Cool" from this album is featured in the official NBA 2K26 video game soundtrack — joining artists like Kendrick Lamar, Future, Travis Scott, and Wu-Tang Clan. From a 7-track indie album to one of the biggest gaming franchises on the planet.

Producer
SPORTS! is the result of three creatives who each bring something different to the table. Saxon delivers bars forged from living in his car, teaching rap at university, and competing on national TV. Woody and MixMason produced every beat — building the sonic architecture from scratch, layering synths, bass, and energy until every track hit right. Together, they made an album that sounds like a highlight reel but hits like real life.
Lyrics
It's a Game of Inches
Yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Cuz it's a game of inches, you dig? It's a game of inches, yeah We was screaming so loud we came up out the trenches, nigga Cuz it's a game of inches, you dig? It's a game of inches, yeah Now you can't even be proud no more you niggas tripping I had to lose a couple friends so I could find my spot I know some people get it and some might not Might not think that I'm still with it but oh my God Watch how I spit it up in Denver nigga, hold my pot I do some like conniving. Don't hit me up dog I might be driving Direct hit better hang on like Miley Cyrus Annoying them to a point where she might finally bite it Man I be paranoid as fuck up off these psilocybins Futuristic and really super gifted direct And that's a bet I ain't used to these euphemisms with a case so them all black and he got some loosies with him And if you want it the game on tap great Cuz it's a game of inches, you dig? It's a game of inches, yeah We was screaming so loud we came up out the trenches, nigga Cuz it's a game of inches, you dig? It's a game of inches, yeah Now you can't even be proud no more you niggas tripping But it's a game of inches, you dig? It's a game of inches, yeah We was screaming so loud we came up out the trenches, nigga Cuz it's a game of inches, you dig?
