Today's episode of Dysect is brought to you by Sonos.

Recently, Sonos added a brand new product to their home sound system family.

It's called Beam, a smart compact soundbar for your TV.

Great for mid-sized rooms and TVs. The beam is Amazon Alexa

enabled for easy voice control and delivers crystal clear, richly detailed sound for movies, shows,

and video games, plus music podcasts and more. It's got pretty cool built-in settings like speech

enhancement that adds clarity to dialogue, and night sound mode that allows you to enjoy

late-night TV without waking the whole house. And what's more, Sonos Beam is only $3.99.

For bolder sound and larger rooms, Sonos also has playbar and playbass. Pre-order Sonosbeam

now at sonos.com and start your home sound system today.

Welcome to Dissect, long form musical analysis broken into short digestible episodes. I'm your host, Cole Kushna. Kohl-Kushnah.

Frank Ocean began his music career as a songwriter in Los Angeles, going then

by his given name Lonnie Bro.

You also remember Frank was

signed to Def Jam as a solo artist after meeting a man named Tricky Stewart in 2009.

Well, I recently had the pleasure to visit Tricky Stewart in his studio in Atlanta, Georgia.

I wanted to talk to him about those early days with Frank, and what was going on behind the scenes

that led to the release of his first project Nostalgia Ultra. But beyond that, I also wanted to talk to Tricky about his

legendary career in the music industry. If you don't happen to recognize Tricky Stewart by name,

you without a doubt know his work very well. He's a songwriter and producer that worked with

everyone from Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Beyonce,

Celine Dion, Justin Bieber.
