Quite possibly my most accessible show yet. Don't take this as a sign for 2025 I will still find some crazy stuff to mess with your mind in the 2025 do not even trip. Enjoy this one though, it is quite nice in a time that is certainly not all that nice. Come to my birthday party Jan. 16 in Houston at Off The Record 416 Main Street, 8pm with Trackstar the DJ!

Another big one for the record books! This should have happened a long time ago! I finally got my brother Doug Mecca up in the studio for some real talk. Doug is a pioneer in Austin hip hop and beyond. He and his Hip Hop Mecca Crew revolutionized the game back in the 90's when they started promoting hip hop shows on the regular with both national and local artists at a time when it was even harder to get stages for hip hop than i...

Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala is back for the 2 0 2 4 y'all! And this one is a BIG ONE! I finally got to sit down and have a real talk with Austin's own Alesia Lani! Alesia is an incredible singer with a dynamic energy who has taken the city by storm in recent years and just released her debut album (though I have had so many jams from her over the years I really don't believe that!) Self-Titled and it's a banger. True to fo...

I know that I say this all the time but THIS IS A BIG ONE! I've been down with Robert Gabriel, nee, R2G2, since the mid-90's when we were both writing for the Bay Area hip hop magazine 4080. The publisher Lauchlan Eugene Sampson McIntyre told Robert and I that we should meet each other as we were both in Austin at the time. So we did and we became friends for all these years. He has always been super supportive and in my corner and...

Maaaaaaan once again we may have outdone ourselfs with the realness. I have a lot of history with my man Wayne Donowho. He was actually my "Promotions and Publicity" teacher back in the days and from right when we met we hit it off and became family. I don't him or his lovely wife and sons nearly enough so I was real lucky to have a couple extra days in Houston recently where we were able to spend some time and really catch up. An...

MC K PEOPLE CALL HIM KWAM! My brother Kwame Anderson joins us for today's edition of Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala. Our history runs way back to the early 90's and the days of the Hip Hop Coffee Shop at Hoi Polloi on White Oak which is now Onion Creek and also to the days of Strictly Hip Hop Sunday's on KPFT when he was with a very forward thinking rap group called Seeds of Soul. I was a huge fan of theirs and felt like they were ...

Today is a really special edition that is for sure. I always say that Talk So Real is the podcast where I talk to my friends and I literally have talked to some of the people closest to me in this series. But DJ Chill is different! What we have done together over the years changed our lives big time and without his support who knows where I would be. We talk about our early days when we first met while doing promotions for a comme...

He's been in Austin all of his life, collecting and selling records, making beats and ...

We are back in Texas for Season 4 of Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala and today's guest is yet another great friend of mine with a lot to say, Audrea Diaz! If you are doing ANYTHING in Austin hip hop you have for sure at the very least encountered Audrea more than once as she is the biggest supporter of everything Austin hip-hop that I have ever met. She is always in the place and forever repping for the scene that she loves (and l...

We continue on with the stories of kids in the van traversing the country with my other brother Pete Stadtmueller. Pete played drums in the first band I ever booked, Lost from Erie, PA and has always been a great friend of mine. He is a teacher on the university level now and is also a deep sea diver but in our youth he was just another miscreant punk rocker on a mission. We all were. Honestly Pete was one of the more stable dude...

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 having my back we were unstoppable in...

SEASON 3 BONUS WEEK HAS BEGUN! Well three days at least. Today starts the ERIE EDITION of Talk So Real. I spent a good part of the summer in my hometown of Erie, PA and meant to do way more podcasts, but I did get with three of the people who were HUGE in the formation of who I am today. These are LITERALLY my day one dudes (Day one starts after I got out of high school because school was a TRAP) and in those daze right after High ...
