Welcome to this bonus episode of sound opinions. I'm Greg Cott, my partner over there is Jim De Regottis.

We both had a bunch of things to talk about this week that couldn't fit into our regular show.

So we're going to split this bonus episode. It's going to

be half Jim. You're going to go first. What are you going to bring us, Jim?

I recently interviewed Matt Muse, a hip-hop artist from here in Chicago, darn good one,

to talk about his music, including the last single

Rapport, and this great holiday drive that he's doing.

Absolutely, Jim, and it's city teeming with great hip-hop artists, Matt, is very much at the top of the tier.

For my part, I'm eager to pay tribute to a few artists who recently passed.

We'll get into it all in a minute on sound opinions.

Hi listeners, have you had a hard time finding new or curated music? Are you interested in multiple perspectives on relationships, dating and music?

Then you're going to love the See The Thing Is podcast hosted by Grammy Award winning

R&B artist Bridget Kelly and Media Personality and Podcast Trailblazer, Mandy B.

Twice a week, Bridget and Mandy have conversations about nostalgia, politics, pop culture, and relationships. The opinions on the show are real and are brought

to you by the genuine connections the ladies have with the guests they like to call their friends

with benefits.

Each week you'll leave with some new music recommendations or a curated playlists that you didn't even know you needed in their freshly squeezed music segment.

They have also done interviews with Big Frida, Remy Ma, Robert Glassper, and more.

Follow and subscribe to see The Thing Is on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or on YouTube.

New audio episodes drop every Tuesday and Friday and

visuals are available on YouTube Wednesday and Saturday.

We are back. First, let's dive into my conversation with Matt Muse.
