Nightvizion: First of all, Tell me a little about yourself. I mean I've had the privilege of experiencing an AL Pete Party/ Event, but who is Mr AL Pete?
  
 
Mr. Al Pete: Mr. Al Pete is the emperor of Fresh! *laughs*!! Naw seriously...just a regular mellow dude from the Northside of thangs (Jacksonville)...tryin' to get my music out there so it can liberate to the masses...on the flip side...make sure folks have a good time by entertainin' them w/ various tunes. I'ma local hip hop artist and a DJ to be clear. I have a company called GrownFolk Entertainment that I run w/ Shirl Dee Capital...that provides DJin' services and promotional services.
 
  Nightvizion: How did you get into music? And Describe your style as an artist.  
 
 
Mr. Al Pete: I saw my uncle Tre (aka Tru.ski) rhymin' w/ his friend and as a solo artist...and he's the real emperor of Fresh *laughs* He made it seem cool to do...so...I tried it when I was 'bout 8 or 9. My parents use to play music 'round me and my brother
 
all the time so that's an addition. The more I studied Tru.ski and hip hop as a whole, the more I got into it.
 
Nightvizion: How do you feel about the current state or progression of Hip-Hop?
 
Mr. Al Pete: Of course it isn't the same as when I was growin' up...but...change is good (for the most part). It's plenty of pros and cons we could discuss but to sum it up, it's okay...not the best...but okay. I say okay 'cause from a DJ's perspective, I can respect some of the tunes played. I say not the best...'cause some of tunes sound the same. Everyone is doin' the same thing...sayin' the same thing...bein' the same thing...where's the fun at?? That's what makes it borin', folks lose interest, and so on and so on. Me bein' in that culture for years, my loyalty w/ Hip Hop remains...and I see hope...'cause I know plenty of folks that are on the frontline to save it. So that's why it's okay...not the best...but okay.
 
Nightvizion: Let's say that those on the frontline broke through this current state of hip-hop and began to infiltrate our media, our homes, the minds of the youth, and was actually successful at putting a massive positive spin on the hip-hop movement, what path would you see yourself on as an artist as well as an entrepreneur?
 
Mr. Al Pete: I'll play both roles...bein' a follower and a leader. If...and when the frontline break through, it'll be unity and understandin' and trust...and with that, we'll all be our respected bosses, at the same time, we can drop rank to encourage the weak (within' the movement). Now which aspect I would be effective in? All of 'em basically. Mostly w/ the verbal and writin' aspect. I feel that's my strong point...my diction and my delivery. I can speak for the unspoken.
 
Nightvizion: If you could be anything else other than an artist, but you still possessed the talent for diction and delivery... what/ who would you be?
  Mr. Al Pete: [A motivational Speaker]

Nightvizion: Hypothetically then, as a motivational speaker, what would be the most pressing issues you would focus on and to what demographic would you cater to most?
 
Mr. Al Pete: I would stress unity more than anythin'...especially if I'm speakin' in regards to the entertainment scene. I see little to none of that in the entertainment side and outside of that. I see little to no unity in families, schools, communities...nothin'...and it's like folks don't even see how much that effect each other...so yeah...I'll stress the fact that we need more unions...whether it's in the music scene or daily livin'. Cross the board. I could go on all day 'bout this *laughs*. 
 
Nightvizion: Why do you think that is?? I mean.. as far as no unity.. what do you feel is the main contributor to that problem?
 

Mr. Al Pete: Folks not realizin' it...folks so stuck on themselves and don't want to lend that extra hand to the unfortunate and/or to people w/ no knowledge. Instead of enhancin' one's knowledge and supportin' and encouragin' and upliftin'...all that...they rather do it alone and watch innocent people fall victim when they're that asset that would make an unfortunate person's situation better. Like I stated...I'm not a saint by far but if you know better, do better. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you...as I progress, these cliches become more clear...and would be relative to me speakin' or promotin' unity.

 
Nightvizion: (For those who have never experienced an Al Pete event, to me, he just gave the epitome of the feeling that starts to grow within you when he'sin the dj booth or on the mic.) As a matter of fact, I wanted to touch on your original music for a moment. Is it Make Move or Make Moves??.. I'm feeling that song. How or when did you first realize that you have earned a certain rite of passage with your music... when did you first say to yourself, "I gotta handle on thangs now, gotta handle on thangs now, Ima be alright" ?
 
Mr. Al Pete:   I wrote that song in '05 I believe...not sure...but I was goin' through unfortunate changes...I grew tired of complainin' 'bout things bein' such, which was terrible (in my eyes), so I began evaluatin' my situations and myself...soul searchin' to be more blunt...and while searchin', I found those thoughts which turned into lyrics which turned into "Make Move"...no "s" *grins*. I made it my anthem...and then donated it to everyon else...it applies to any and every one. After I did that song and performin' it, it was therapy. Things grew better w/ time...that song placed me where I'm at now...and have me advance even further.
 
Nightvizion: Speakin of therapy, *laughs* you have a special weekend coming up don't you?... it's your what..35th.. 36th birthday is it? *smiles* what do you have planned for the weekend?
 
Mr. Al Pete: I'll be 29...*stands proudly*. I feel good...word Weekend plans... Summer Chocolate kicks off this Thursday at Bukkets Express 10pm... Friday, I'll be at Tera Nova...[For First Friday's Remixed - Moulin Rouge Party]...*shouts out to Ms. Joy...what up lady? *... ...Saturday...do some shoppin' somewhere and Sunday, checkin' out Myztroh and The Elevated HipHop Experience at Freebirds. Simple Complexity will be rockin' as well. I believe it goes down 'round 4 pm. That about it...lookin' forward to coolin' the whole weekend...have some fun and such...ya know
 
Nightvizion: That's what it is then.. Well I would love to continue this interview with you but we seem to have run out of time for today.. Maybe we can dive into a little... Mr. Al Pete on Elections'08 when we pick this back up.. what do you say??
