On behalf of a MA student who will be conducting a dialect & attitude
study, I am seeking to "borrow" some audio samples of matched guise
AAVE/SAE speech.  That is, one speech sample should be identifiable as
some version of African American Vernacular English, and one
sample--produced by that same speaker-- should be identifiable as some
version of Standard American English.  Ideally, the speaker would be an
adolescent male, and the topics of the two matched speech samples would
be identical (or at least closely related).   Thirty years ago, of
course, a good deal of social psychological research utilized such
matched guise speech samples.  But they are apparently hard to come by
nowadays.

Thanks for any assistance.
