Hey, loved the first episode, looking forward to listening to more. One thing I'm surprised you didn't talk about as far as what Nas has done recently is his very currently relevant namesake, Lil Nas X (who took his name as an homage to Nas). They even performed a song together at the Grammy's recently. As far as songs to listen to, it might be cool to listen to one by Thank You Scientist. I'm a big prog rock fan, and in my opinion they're the best prog band currently making music. They even have a weird MinnMax connection: I know you guys mentioned Dan Rycker's wife Bianca, so maybe you know this (and maybe I'd be stepping on her toes on for a future episode of the pod), but their guitarist, Tom Monda, is Dan's brother-in-law through Bianca I think, and the both of them are in the music video for their cover of "Party All the Time". I'd recommend listening to FXMLDR (pronounced Fox Mulder), as it's pretty listenable and it'll give you a good feel of their stuff.
Listening to this first official episode while playing some Minecraft...PURE bliss. Really looking forward to more episodes in the future, this was so great. Just wanted to give a mention to the album cover for Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, that one is super iconic. I'd really like to hear you guys discuss their Closer album in some future episode, that would be a very interesting listen.
Loved MinnTrax, looking forward to future episodes

Correction: around 24:35 Matt mentioned underground rapper "Kenny Woods" though he meant to say Billy Woods, who in fact collaborated with produced Kenny Segal on the excellent album "Hiding Places". Loved this ep (still listening through it) and looking forward to future eps!
