Today is a really special edition that is for sure.

Honestly P
Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Mike Krusewicz - Season 3 Episode 10
Continuing on in Erie, PA today we present one of my oldest and closest friends, Mike Krusewicz. When I first met Mike he was a crazy, mouthy skater type who did not hold his tongue at all (nothing's changed). I remember being taken aback the first time I met him, like "Who is this dude?" Then we got some beers and became best friends.
Mike is the one who pushed me to do many things, with him ha

Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Keith Corona - Season 3 Episode 02
Keith Corona is a South Austin hip hop legend. A leader in all that he does, Keith has been on the cutting edge of the visuals game for as long as I can remember.

Matt Sonzala's Holidaze Mess 2022
You may or may not be ready for this one. The last Amapiano Christmas mix was kind of nice right? I got lots of nice feedback on that one and it felt good. I like to make people feel good, it's important to me. Especially at this time of year which can be wonderful but also stressful and for some, straight full of pain. Well this one isn't going to do you any favors I'll tell you that right now, b

Welcome back to the show that recognizes no genres or boundaries. Stamp your passport to this, get the one with the extra pages.

Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Jeff Liles - Season 2 Episode 19
Maaaan hold up! This week I got to sit down with a man who has been a friend and a mentor to me for like 30 years, Jeff Liles.

Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Deuce - Season 2 Episode 18
Man this is a real good one right here, I finally got to sit down with my man Deuce and talk some shop. I first met Deuce when he was an on air personality on Austin's Hot 93 in the early to mid 2000's. Hot 93 was a special place, and maybe one of the last commercial urban radio stations to keep it real witht heir community. Many of the cities most important players in the hip hop world worked the

On today's podcast he talks about that journey and where
Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: MOJOE - Season 2 Episode 16
Maaaaan this is a big one for me as I have been a fan of MOJOE for many years, and when we sat down to do this they informed me that I had never interviewed them before. Which is something I can't even fathom given the amount of times I have seen them live and how much I have listened to them and such. But I guess that is the case and this edition of Talk So Real is my first real talk with two of
Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Noah Tennefrancia - Season 2 Episode 15
Continuing on with the podcast where I go and have some real talk with my friends, this week I sat down with Noah Tennefrancia to talk about a whole lot of thangs!

All Music is World Music #17 with Matt Sonzala
This might be my best All Music is World Music in a while. Maybe one that you, yes you can listen to all the way through. Like no skips as they say. I know sometimes I mess you up with the realness, it's too much, sometimes it's too noisy, maybe to vibey, I don't know. I know it's got to be hard for many of you though and well this time I tried to not trip out TOO hard. There may be some moment bu

She has always had her ears to the streets and when she made her transition into DJing she immediately began ex
Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Richard Henry - Season 2 Episode 12
What the what? Heads are NOT ready for this one. Someone may need to reup the Hollerboard to make sure this one gets maximum penetration into the internets and all the real heads can know the deal.

Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Serg - Season 2 Episode 8
Oh man this is a very special episode and has been literally a couple years in the making. If you know anything about my history, you know that Serg taught me everything that I know about the internet. He had a blog before me and did a podcast before I really understood what a podcast was.

Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Lance Walker - Season 2 Episode 4
Got a chance to sit down with my man Lance Scott Walker for this episode. Lance and I go way back in the scene in Houston but really connected when he and Peter Beste started working on the Houston Rap book and what would later become two editions of Houston Rap Tapes. I love Lance's style because he lets his subjects talk and tell the story themselves. Telling the story of Houston rap is no mean
Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala: Bavu Blakes - Season 2 Episode 3
This one has been a long time coming, it's about time I have a real talk with one of my best friends in this whole musical journey, Bavu Blakes.

"Still Tippin'," "Barre Baby," "Purp
