In Prince – King of B-sides, author Matt Osgood celebrates Prince as a true musical icon who defied genres, rewrote the rules of artistry, and left behind not only legendary hits but also 32 extraordinary B-sides often as powerful as his main releases. Far from throwaways, these tracks reveal the depth of his genius and confirm why there will never be another like him.

Prince’s Filthy 15

Matt Osgood has a brand new book out, Prince’s Filthy 15 available now on Amazon. The book revisits the culture wars of the 1980s, when Prince’s bold sexuality, lyrical provocation, and genre-bending innovation collided with America’s Moral Majority and the infamous PMRC “Filthy Fifteen” list. Sparked by the controversy around “Darling Nikki,” Osgood reframes the story by spotlighting the songs that truly defined Prince as pop’s original Rude Boy tracks that pushed boundaries, celebrated freedom of expression, and left conservatives fizzing with moral panic.
